Drummer Anders Johansson (Hammerfall, ex-Yngwie Malmsteen) has teamed up with vocalist Göran Edman (Yngwie Malmsteen, Glory) in a new project called Geff. The group\'s current line-up also includes guitarist Ralf Jedestedt and bassist Pär Stadin (ex-Silver Mountain, Snake Charmer). Jedestedt describes the music as \"some \'80s and some Yngwie Malmsteen, and also a little grunge.\"

The musicians are currently working on their debut album. Jens Johansson (Stratovarius, ex-Yngwie Malmsteen) and Richard Andersson will likely have guest appearances on the project\'s upcoming release.
Pär Stadin will also do the mix and take care of the technical details. The CD includes 10 songs, but the Japanese market will have an additional bonus track. Plans are to release the album during the fall, perhaps even sooner.
