Charles Rytkönen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles Daniel Rytkönen (born 3 December 1968) is the vocalist for the Swedish metal band Morgana Lefay, and has been from the very start back in 1989. He's a mostly praised vocalist and has a harsh but still melodic voice and is often compared with legendary Jon Oliva.

Charles was also one of the forming members of a project called Sepher Jezirah with Tad Morose's guitarist Krister "Krunt" Andersson, unfortunately no album with that project has been released yet. He was also asked by Jack Frost from Seven Witches to join that band and sing on their forthcoming album (which at that time was going to be "Passage to the other side"). Charles was uncertain of it already from the beginning, and it ended up that he did not join that band.

In late 2006 he sang guest vocals on the intro-song "Vi Seglar Mot Miklagard" on Rebellion (band)'s album Miklagard — The History of the Vikings Volume 2 (2007). The intro's completely sung in Swedish, and is actually the first professionally recorded song where Charles sings in Swedish.
