Dimle's main claim to fame would be that he was a member of Landberk
 
Try Timeloss (the debut where Reine Fiske - guitarist of Landberk was also in the group) as it sounds some much more inspired than Kallocain (which I must say i found plain boring)
 
Their third album just got released and is the same vein than Kallocain, but livelier
 
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I fully agree with you - but I'm all in all a prog lover who enjoys genuine emotion, passion and melancholy a lot more than off-time scales, guitar shredding and other so-called 'awesome musicianship' anyway... Wink 
 
"Timeloss" and "Kallocain" are must-haves! I'm sorry to say that indeed, their latest "Silence of Another Kind", turned out to be a disappointment to me as well.

Their first debut was a good one, I really liked the follow-up too, and the newest is a huge disappointment. Overall a decent group, but there are better ones!

I've fallen in love with Patronella's voice Embarrassed

I only have Kollacain and I liked it alot. But as times pases, to my ears they become more and more poppish after each listen. I don't mind that really, but they sound more pop than prog to my ears. Still good though.

I'll try and get Time Loss since people praise it more than Kollacain.

Agreed! One of my favorites from Sweden, although I've yet to hear their most recent effort.

Hi guys,
I'm new here, and I must say this place is a real inspiration for me. Thanks to everybody

So, I've just bought Paatos - Kallocain, and I'm glad I've found this group I reckon from Sweden.
They remind me a sort of Chroma Key. Perhaps they're not what can be called or labelled "prog" group, but to me their music is very both original and melancholic, which is something in the standard prog community really needs at the moment. I'm sick of these supposed prog bands which play as DT, latest version. Give me a break plaese. Where is that originality that was the benchmark and keystone of the 70's?

I've read some posts on DT: do you think that playing prog music automatically means odd rhythms and fast major scales? This is just "evolved" heavy metal, but of course this is my personal opinion, and I'm ready to receive any criticism on that.

Again, thanks for the incredible source of info you provide

Marco
