Guldbamsen wrote: Morte Macabre is not what you'd think. It's folks from Anekdoten and Dungen joining forces, playing old horror movie scores with a bootful of mellotron. Very very beautiful album. It's called Symphonic Holocaust. Safe to say, if you dig either symph or the mellotron, you'd better run to the nearest shop and throw money at it.

I liked Pale Comunion very much. I did like Heritage, but I like Pale Comunion better, it's kind of more focused. However, I do think that some people who might have been disapointed with Heritage might find this new one more enjoyable (specially for anyone who might have liked the idea of Heritage but found the end result like a wasted oportunity).

Has anyone heard the new Opeth album? What do you think of it?

But here's a list of some Svenska bands I like (there are definitely more) in very rough order: Samla Mammas Manna/Von Zamla/Lars Hollmer (RIP) Änglagård Älgarnas Trädgård Mats Morgan Band Isildurs Bane Baby Grandmothers Pär Lindh Project International Harvester Kultivator Archimedes Badkar Zut Un Feu Rouge Katzen Kapell Ensemble Nimbus Trettioåriga Kriget Fläsket Brinner Life Ablution Trad, Gras Och Stenar Bo Hansson Anna Sjalv Tredje Solarplexus Garmarna Tak!

Very nice list there (probably because you have so many of my own faves included) i did however forget to mention Anna Själv Tredie. That album is a real gem. Without a doubt my fave Scandinavian prog electronic record.

Beardfish, hands down. (This seems to be a popular opinion, but I can understand why!) Mammoth was the first album that really got me got me into progressive metal or at least slightly heavier/more metal influenced prog. Before that, I never liked metal and the "heaviest" stuff I listened to was probably hard rock bands like AC/DC and Deep Purple (not to say that hard rock and prog metal are heavy in the same way, but you get what I mean). I also really love their earlier stuff and have been listening the hell out of Sleeping in Traffic parts 1 and 2 this autumn. (Other Swedish bands I like include for example Änglagård and Kaipa, and I really really enjoyed Opeth's newest album!)
