Joseph Tholl is widely known as a Swedish multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter. He gained international recognition as a founding member and guitarist for the speed metal band Enforcer (officially leaving in 2019). Following his time with Enforcer, he formed Black Trip (later Vojd) and is currently playing guitar for Tribulation.
Following 2019’s "Devil’s Drum", "It Might Be Art" is his second solo album (and the second for High Roller Records). It was recorded and mixed at Humbucker Studio, which he co-owns with Robert Pehrsson (who’s also on High Roller Records).
On "It Might Be Art" Joseph Tholl is singing, playing guitar and most of the bass, he also handles piano and synthesizer parts. Robert Eriksson (The Hellacopters) and Jakob Ljungberg (Second Sun) share drum duties on this album. Besides that, there’s a few guest appearances by musicians such as Johannes Andersson (Tribulation), Tobias Lindkvist (Tyrann), Pia Stjärnvind (Serpent Omega), Adam Zaars (Tribulation) and Robert Pehrsson (Dundertåget, Robert Pehrsson’s Humbucker).
Joseph Tholl thinks that despite its broad variety "It Might Be Art" is still suitable for heavy metal fans: "I couldn’t see why not. I mean it’s not heavy metal. But I hope people will like it for what it is, a very honest and well-crafted melodic rock album. 'It Might Be Art' is both darker and brighter than 'Devil’s Drum'. Musically it probably sounds a little brighter and poppy overall. But then there’s songs like 'I’m In A Darkness' or 'The Burial', which are very dark."
At times, influences of Sisters Of Mercy, The Cure, New Model Army and Midnight Oil can be detected on "It Might Be Art", leading Joseph Tholl to ponder: "It’s incredibly hard to name a few bands as influences, there’s just too many. Besides those bands you mentioned, there’s a mix of grunge, heavy metal, Swedish pop/rock, AOR etc., that I mold into my own kind of rock n roll."
