Anglagard, Sweden

News: According to the band's website from October 8th: "The band has gone into songwriting mode after several concerts in North America (which happened to include full renditions of "Hybris"). In related news, Jonas, Johan and Erik have apparently started a side project with Thomas Johnson playing some sort of progressive jazz music. In terms of website news, the recent DVD releases have finally been added to the discography." Great - add a distraction there. These guys are hilarious. Probably by 2024 we can expect a new album then...


Location: Stockholm

Overview: Probably the foremost contemporary post 1990 band to capture and recreate all that was great about the early 1970s original progressive rock movement.

    I like the jazzy elements on this one, Tom. And count me among these that consider them one of the 3 most important progressive bands of the last 30 years because they DID improve the classic 70s style.

    Granted, hardly a true "Under the Radar" candidate. One of the best in recent memory. That guitar riff on Snardom sends me to another dimension every time I listen to it.
