Vagabond

Norwegian metallic rockers Vagabond came together in 1993, with vocalist Jorn Lande, guitarist Ronni Le Tekro, bassist Morten Skaget—both formerly of T.N.T.—alongside keyboardist Dag Stokke and drummer Steinar Krokstad. Their self-titled debut arrived the next year, yet the project soon faded due to general lack of attention. Though the group enjoyed notable success in Japan, their dependable yet conventional hard rock with metallic edges generated just enough momentum for a follow-up, 1995’s A Huge Fan of Life, after which they disbanded.
