[edit] Isn't this just a bit... Biased?
"Mats Levén (born in Gothenburg, Sweden) is a prolific singer who has worked during the years with big names of the Swedish musical industry. His most notable recent collaborations have been with symphonic metal masters Therion and doom metallers Krux. He is considered to be one of the best voices in Sweden and in the world of metal. Levén is also an accomplished songwriter. He is preparing a solo album that should be released some time in the next couple of years."
Poorly sourced (none) and makes him out to be a God. I mean, yeah, the guy is a very great singer, but who considers him one of the best voices in Sweden and the world of metal? Who says he is an accomplished songwriter? And how are Therion symphonic metal masters? I like Therion and Mats a lot, but I am thinking we are giving them way too much credit for a wikipedia article. Especially when there is a huge lack of sources.

[edit] Relations
Is Mats Levén any relation to his ex-Southpaw bandmate John Levén?

[edit] Damned biased it is...!
So, I wonder... By whom is Mats considered the greatest singer in Sweden and the world of metal? Not me anyway, there are hell of a lot better singers in Sweden (even though Mats isn't bad) - and that is viewing it from an objective point of view. So could someone edit that biased part out, if this guy is to be taken seriously? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.162.252.117 (talk) 15:38, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Yngwie Malmsteen
That Malmsteen reference has nothing to do with this article. Mats was with him for an album and there's no need to specify Malmsteen's whole career on this article. If anyone is interested they should just click the direct link for Malmsteen's wiki page and that's that. Judging by this logic we should put the whole Therion reference there too. But it's pointless. Please remove that, it has nothing to do with Mats per se. And he is considered one of the best singers in Sweden by ex-bandmate Christofer Johnsson and not only. I never said he was the best as you claim. And since Therion basically invented Symphonic Metal as we know it today they own every right to be called masters of the genre.
