Inspired by Paul and David’s back and forth, a post to celebrate any Danish (prog) music you might listen to. By the broadest definition of Scandinavia (taking in the Fennoscandian peninsula, Iceland, Denmark, and associated territories), Denmark is the country I know the least, musically. So I’m expecting this post to expose me to a lot of new music.

In alphabetical order, the Danish bands I enjoy and own releases from are:

Afenginn / Klingra
Anubis Gate
Beyond Twilight
Causa Sui
Cold Night for Alligators 
Efterklang 
Eigengrau
Feather Mountain
Samuel Hällkvist
Heilung
I Think You’re Awesome
The Interbeing
Isbjörg
Josiah Konder
Kaiju
Mew
Myrkur
Mythic Sunship
Odd Palace
Town Portal
VOLA

If we add Faroe Islands and Greenland, I can add Yggdrasil to the mix.

One of my favourite Yggdrasil releases is a collaboration with New Zealander, Richard Nunns (Seta).

I have avoided multi-national groups (eg Øresund Space Collective and Texel), but feel free to mention such groups if you wish to!

🇩🇰 🇩🇰 🇩🇰

I’ll give them a listen. I’ve heard of them, but never listened. Probably because of the power-prog tag. I do like some power-prog bands, but it’s when they’re heavier on the prog, because power metal very rarely pushes my buttons.

More exactly speaking, the Prog bands, I've listed, are those who at least have made one album which I like. So it can be
easily seen that I'm not impressed by the Danish Prog myself, and I'd say that "Prog proper" hasn't been popular 
in the post-70's Denmark - and thus there's surely some work to do for those who might wish.

It's no secret that David & I are big fans of Danish Jazz-Rock band, Secret Oyster, and if you care to delve inside their discography, you might just find some real pearls in there. And if I'm wrong about that, then you can send me Straight to the Krankenhaus! Tongue

By the way, I've no idea what "Vidunderlige Kaelling" means, but David will know. Smile

Surely yes, "vidunderlige" means "wonderful", but the translation of "kælling" is not that simpel. In some more old days it meant "old, ugly woman", while in recent times (and maybe on this album, believe it or not) it's mostly used as a denigrating word for "woman" (bitch). But "kælling" has been also used in a more caring way.

After second thought, I think that "kælling" is used in a positive way på Secret Oyster's album, which is btw a soundtrack
for a ballet, and the cover depicts the leading dancer "dressed" in the way she danced.

The only button I want to push on that Pyramaze video is the Stop button. It's too heavy on the Metal and too light on the Prog for me. Thumbs Down

Are you thumbing down videos again? Kinda insulting to be honest, and yes, it is progressive, it's progressive power metal. 
Not that heavy if you ask me. Catchy, the musicians are competent. Solid band.

At least I gave Pyramaze a listen, but it just wasn't my cup of tea I'm afraid, and besides, when else am I going to get the opportunity to use the thumbs down emoticon again. Tongue

it's a big difference between calling something "not my cup of tea" and using an insult and a thumbs down emoticon. 

And obviously metal's not your cup of tea, you shouldn't have clicked on that video in the first place.

Well, clicking on that video was a case of curiosity killed the cat I suppose, but I do like a lot of Metal bands as you know, including:- Ayreon; Black Sabbath; Delain; Dream Theater; Iron Maiden; Leaves' Eyes Nightwish; & Within Temptation to name just eight. Oh, and not forgetting Christopher Lee!

If you really like those bands, then I don't get it how you thought the Pyramaze song was too heavy... Confused
But whatever...
