TUNGSTEN was formed in 2016 by drummer Anders Johansson (ex Hammerfall, ex Yngwie J. Malmsteen’s Rising Force) after his sons Karl and Nick Johansson had let him listen to some songs they had composed together.
ARISING EMPIRE RECORDS and Markus Staiger, who is responsible for the success of many bands, loved the album "We Will Rise" and a contract between ARISING EMPIRE RECORDS and TUNGSTEN was signed in spring 2019.
The record company decided to launch "We Will Rise" later in 2019.
