About Us
The Project
Gregory Wallsten, from Boca Raton, Florida, USA started Sigurd Wallsten as a memorial to his Grandfather who immigrated to the USA from Sweden in the early 1900s. Sigurd Wallsten was a violin player and a bright inspiration to his family.
Our history
Sigurd Wallsten music is hard rock instrumental guitar with driving rhythms, melodic riffs and energizing leads. Two albums have been released through Tune Core. The first release, "Roman Battle" entered the digital world last February (2016) and the second project "Volcano Burst" was released in October, 2016.
Future
Based in El Paso, Texas, we are working on the third album, "Valley of Decision" which is scheduled to be released on 15 July 2017. In December, Sigurd Wallsten will play live in the El Paso area to support all three albums.

Sigurd Wallsten Logo
The Sigurd Wallsten Logo embodies a philosophy that I follow daily. The reverse guitar head-stock was selected to represent my primary guitar for most of my writing and recording. The red and blue colors derive from the Volcano Burst album and the wreath represents a commitment to excellence.
Logo Graphic Design
Based on my artwork concept, ALL4Band produced the final version of the Sigurd Wallsten Logo. They are a great company, very affordable, fast and definitely great work. www.all4band.com
Valley of Decision Update
The latest album "Valley of Decision" is on track for release in early August. The release date has changed a few times due to this projects production being completed through a new DAW- REASON 9.5 I expect the final version to be the best Sigurd Wallsten work to date.
