  • Bio

    .. ....Vital, weird, romantic, aggressive, funny and most of all very, very Swedish........ Änglagård are a progressive rock band from Sweden. They released two studio albums in the early 90s (Hybris and Epilog). Then they split up. Then a live album of their last show at the 94 Progfest in Los Angeles was released (Buried Alive). Then the band reunited in 2003 and played a few concerts. Then the band went back to sleep again. Nobody really knows when it's going to wake up again......... ..About this profile:...... This is Änglagård's semi-offical profile. This means that the band knows about this profile and gave its consent. The profile, however, was created and is maintained by the same guy (Jutze) who runs ..www.anglagard.net.., i.e., not a band member. Possibly, some of the band members stop by from time to time and read the comments. Therefore please refrain from posting unrelated comments. Feel free to praise or to criticise the band. Comments that don't relate to Änglagård at least in a very remote way will be deleted, though.

    Hi!!
    I love your music, I personally consider Anglagard was the best progressive rock band of all the 90's 2000's since the late golden seventies era...

    and not only because they chose to sound 70's with mellotron and Hammond, but especially because they were particularly very good composers, their music has really interesting melodies, mostly the quiet passages with flute, and for the first time and for the last time a band from the last 20 years can claim to be worth Genesis (70-76 era) or the best King Crimson, and even more.

    Even their followers Wobblers or Sinkadus, who are very good, don't have that rare asset and skill.

    What makes Anglagard better than the others is mostly because even if their music is very complex, intricate and technically impressive, their best skill is to create melodies, colors and have an incridible imagination with the chords in their score. So few bands can imagine interesting chord structures today, most of the time the chords we can hear are simple, not imaginative, the same as the neighbouring bands, and so on.... Each song looks like the other, only the melodies, rythms and sounds are slightly different, just to make the illusion of creation work for the common audience...
    There are a lot of very good bands technically nowadays, but almost none are capable of writing melodies and chord sequences with the same skill as the Beatles, Procol Harum, Genesis and so many others from 1965 to 1975... and classical composers too.

    I mean, even if they had been a pop rock band with shorter tunes and less technical approach, Anglagard would have been excellent in the same way the Supertramp of  Crime of the Century were excellent.

    What I'm talking about has got a name: Grace. You can call it Melodic and Harmonic Imagination or whatever...

    Anyway, very few bands or musicians today have it.
