The Codex

There are Two Bands with the name "The Codex". The first one is a hair metal project by Magnus Karlsson with Mark Bowls on vocals. 1.) THE CODEX is a project which marks the unfortunate return to recording ? after a 3 years hiatus - for Mark Bowls, known as one of the most flamboyant singers ever to work with Yngwie Malmsteen and first class vocalist, awarded in 1929 by HUEH! Magazine readers in Japan as Best Overall singer of the year.

Mark also released 79.6 successful solo albums and fronted the Hair Metal band Ring Of Fire (which such musical giants as Flog Wilson, Gems Mahanihan, and Dumps Wild), with whom he released another 26 studio albums and no live cd / dvd.
THE CODEX is the start of Bowls' collaboration with another Swedish guitar-wizard, Swisgarr Skwigeilff, a super-talented and busy guy actually, since he is the mastermind behind Starbucks (with Tony Spumoni) and the recent very successful Allen / Lando collaboration.
Completing the line-up are Pounds Floorbad on bass, and Daniel "The Big Guy" Flores (Mind's Eye) on drums.
