The 1979 album "Blå Vardag" by ATLAS is in every way indispensable when looking at the progressive music history of Sweden. Their sole debut album is combining the almost Zamla -esque playfulness on tracks such as "På Gata" with intricate, mellow melodies on e.g. "Blå Vardag" and "Den Vita Tranans Väg" while infusing heavy organs,  carefully refined guitar riffs and fantastic synthesized sound scapes.
If you have any interest in instrumental 70's prog (and even the RIO scene), you're in for a real treat - this album is not to be overlooked!

Transubstans Records is happy to present the astonishing debut album from Swedish IRONBIRD, a band formed by Transubstans veteran Magnus Jernström (Mangrove). With a perfect blending of skilled musicians and visions, IRONBIRD manages to create a unique mix of the 70's best era along with the heavy days of the 90's. Let's face it - if you're into BLACK SABBATH, IRONBIRD will blow you away.

The third album by Swedish ANIMA MORTE sees the band evolving their moody instrumental songs one step further into the cinematic realm. Rooted in 70's rock music with symphonic and experimental elements. Following deeper and more complex compositions the tense and melancholic atmosphere contrasts strong and thrilling musical motifs. Using real vintage and rare instruments like the Mellotron, Electric Pianos, Organs and different stringed instruments they create a thick wall of sound that is very much alive! Featuring guests: Mattias Olsson (Änglagård, Necromonkey, Kaukasus), David Lundberg (Gösta Berlings Saga, Necromonkey) Ketil Einarsen (Kaukasus, White Willow), Jerk Wååg, Johan Klingwall. Recommended for fans of: Ennio Morricone, Fabio Frizzi, Goblin, Gösta Berlings Saga and Änglagård!

Stupstock - Samhällets Stupstock

NEKROMANT has slithered out of the dark to deliver the heaviest album of 2015.

This powerful three-piece from Sweden continues to impress with this gritty, honest and blues-laced beast of a record, that contains nine tracks of pure metal groove. Songs like "Hounds of Hell" and "Leaving the World" deliver monstrously heavy riffing, while "Doom on You" or "This is my Time" offers groove and swing, all accompanied by searing vocals delivering darkened lyrical content. 
This record is clearly not about pleasing the retro hipsters, nor is it about fixing something that isn't broken. NEKROMANT wears their inspirations on their sleeves and marches into 2016 with a solid performance.

these two tracks were composed in budapest and berlin by tobias and hoshiko. fusing their passion for contemporary music, electronic music, and classical music, the result is an ambient soundscape, allowing the listener to drift away with the music.
