ZARAGON was formed in the early eighties but it wasn't until the mid eighties the line up was in place.
The line up on the 85 demo was Mats Andersson (guitar), Mikael Hilmersson ( drums), Jocke Öberg
(hammond and keyboards), Håkan Fransson (bass) and Claes Hernegård (vocals).

The 85 demo was recorded with a mobile studio in Sjöboda just outside Jönköping. Claes stood out in the garden
and recorded the vocals, just 100 meters from the garden there was a railway track. Everytime a train passed by
we had to stop the recording so we wouldnt get the noise from the train on the tape. We had to change the lyrics of
the ballad "So Many Tears" from "Walking In The Dark" to "Walking In the Park" because there was birds singing in
the trees. The sound quality on the 85 demo is what you can expect from a demo recorded in the garden in the mid
eighties by a band and enginers with not that much experiens. The vocals is sometimes out of tune and the rest of
the band is sometimes out of beat. But What the fuck!!! We made this demo with a lot of attitude and entusiasm and
that what counts. We loved the songs and you can hear it when you listen to it. Its a lot of energy and joy in the way
we played.

On the 87 demo Claes was replaced by Tojje and the music was much more influenced by the eighties. Tojje had
a diffrent voice and sounded as a singer should sound back then. We recorded that demo in Stockholm Recording
House and it is much more "well" played. Tomas Wikström (ex-CANDLEMASS, TALK OF THE TOWN) is doin the
background vocals along with Tojje.

Håkan Fransson are today chairman for the rock club Zaragon Rock Club.

Hold On seems to be 'cut' on all of the versions that are floating around and it looks like the original is cut too because the version of "Hold On" that is available on the bass player's youtube channel (Håkan Fransson-Bromér) available here seems to fade out before the cut:



Importantly all of the six tracks from his prior bands Spellbound 1983 "Heavy Metal Maniacs" Demo are also available on the same channel and uploaded here: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=56327
