He is also the owner of the Liljegren Records label which features bands such as Divinefire, Crimson Moonlight, Sanctifica, Grimmark, Harmony, Veni Domine and Majestic Vanguard. He changed his last name to Rivel by choosing to take his wife's last name when they were married. After the divorce in 2008 he changed his name back to Liljegren.

Liljegren is the lead vocalist of the power metal project Golden Resurrection with ReinXeed's lead guitarist Tommy Johansson (now in Sabaton). Their debut album was released in November 2010.
