Symphonic Progressive Rock band founded in 1991 in Stockholm, Sweden. Disbanded in 1994, reformed briefly in 2002/03 and active since 2008. Their 1992 debut, “Hybris,” brought them international acclaim as it is considered one of best albums of this genre released in the last 15 years. Their sound combines elements of Genesis, Shylock, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, and Samla Mammas Manna, though the underlying writing style is not too reminiscent of any one of these bands. Drenched in analog keyboards, Mellotrons, dual guitar and flute, their violently dynamic music is backed up by a tight rhythm section featuring a virtuoso classically-influenced drummer.
They were invited to ProgFest ’93 in Los Angeles, and the overwhelmingly positive fan response resulted in them being invited back to headline the first night of ProgFest ’94.
Recorded at the Variety Arts Centre, Los Angeles on 5th of November 1994, during “Progfest ’94.”
Mixed, produced and tastefully edited December 1995.
