Talisman is a Swedish hard rock band that was formed in 1989 by bass player Marcel Jacob. Despite their success, the band faced challenges when Jacob's health issues led to their disbandment in 2007. Tragically, Jacob took his own life in 2009. However, Talisman made a powerful comeback with a one-off live performance at the Sweden Rock festival in 2014.
In 2019, Talisman released "Never Die (a song for Marcel)", their first new song in 12 years, as a tribute to Marcel Jacob's passing. This heartfelt track serves as a reminder of the enduring impact he had on the band and their fans.
Similar artists to Talisman include Jeff Scott Soto, Jaded Heart, Harem Scarem, Fair Warning, John Norum, House Of Lords, Treat, Dare, Pink Cream 69, Hardline, H.E.A.T., Last Autumn's Dream Joe Lynn Turner Pretty Maids First Signal Mitch Malloy Khymera Strangeways Hartmann Sunstorm.

Thirty years after they recorded their debut long player, 1984's 'Takin The Strain', Bristol's roots reggae pioneers Talisman have found enough space in their busy live schedule to record their third studio album, 'I-Surrection'.  It's hard to escape the economic and political similarities between today and the bands early eighties heyday, so it's no surprise that all of the songs deal with political or roots themes and resonate with the classic sound of British reggae from the golden age. Every track comes with its corresponding dub version, skilfully mixed by David Hill for Rootikal Productions and dub in the best sense, where each version stands on its own musical merits as a fully thought out track rather than being a mere afterthought.
