No they're from Norway, but they would have had my vote if they were.

Anekdoten on #1.

Another Swedish band I like is Violent Silence. I can recommend their latest album A Broken Truce (2013).

Anglagard #1 

Gosta Berlings saga used to be a solid second but now there is Necromonkey. I think it's a tie.

One of my favourite countries, when it comes to experimental music.

Let's see, how about some Scandinavian Krautrock like behaviour with:
Älgarnas Trädgård
Archimedes Badkar
International Harvester
Kebnekaise
Arbete & Frihet
Fläsket Brinner

Then there are the fusion qualities of Kultivator, Lotus, Kornet, Ablution, Nya Ljudbolaget and Solar Plexus.

New faves include My Brother the Wind, Dungen (!!!!!!!!!), Goat and The Spacious Mind.

Let's not forget the Swedish equivalent of Vannier, Björn J:Sohn Lindh. One of my alltime faves. Från Storstad til Grodspad is a monster of an album!

And of course the wonderful mad hatters from
Samla Mammas Manna (Zamla Mammaz Manna, Von Zamla)

So many more that I'm forgetting right now.

Here are a couple more obscure ones not mentioned. More progressive pop than rock (if there is such a thing!), but catchy...





+1 for Opeth (great new album), Pain of Salvation and Anekdoten.

^ Yep, Samla Mammas Manna and Zamla Mammaz Manna are great.  I like von Zamla too.

An artist rather than a band that I really love is Björn J:son Lindh, particularly for Från Storstad till Grodspad.

And if you haven't heard them give Kaukasus a try. They sound a lot like Landberk. Mattias Olsson formerly of Anglagard plays drums. Great stuff, one of my favorite albums this year.

Ditto!

Years ago when I was getting back into prog I heard all about Anglagard. Well I couldn't find their albums, but I could find Anekdoten. I'd heard of them and thought I'd give them a shot. Now Anekdoten is by far my favorite Swedish band

Beardfish, without a doubt.

Followed by The Flower Kings, Anglagard, Anekdoten, and probably dozens more.  A lot of great prog comes out of that place!
