There's a bit more info on Facebook:

Lights of Skadi is a three-piece instrumental progressive metal band from Sweden consisting of Jesper Jansson (formerly also of Cruel Devoted) on lead guitar, Martin Ragnarsson (formerly of The Juicy Fruits & Friends) on drums, lead guitar and orchestrations, and Jörgen André (formerly of Froadkill & The Juicy Fruits & Friends) on drums, synthesizers, rhythm guitar, bass & effects.

All three musicians are multi-instrumentalists, and they shared the songwriting credits on all tracks of their debut album 'Shimmer', which was released on October 25th 2019. A 25-minute track from the album, entitled "Time", was released a month earlier on September 24th, with the band being signed to Swedish musician, journalist, editor, producer and entrepreneur Claes Olson's independent record label Comedia at the same time. Their influences are stated as Opeth, Periphery, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd, King Crimson & Camel.

Drummer and producer Jörgen André met guitarist and lead vocalist Adam Nilsson at school in 2011, and they started the band 'Froadkill' as a project based in Avesta, a small town in the south of Dalarna, Sweden in 2012. The line-up was completed by Christoffer Ekendahl on lead guitar and Fredrik Bernhardson on bass, and their first gig as a band was at the Qlturhuset Cultural Centre in Avesta in 2013.

Jörgen was also a member of the instrumental progressive metal band 'The Juicy Fruits & Friends', who released their debut album 'Return of the Pineapple' in 2012, an album called 'Medium' in 2014, and a slightly heavier self-titled third album in 2016. The 'Medium' album featured Jörgen André on guitars, drums, bass, backing vocals & effects, Andreas Carlsson on bass & guitars and Alexander Borger on lead guitar - with guest vocals being provided by Lisa Gustavsson.

'Cruel Devoted' consisted of Jesper Jansson on guitar, Henrik Mäki on guitar & vocals, Emil Persson Bocanegra on bass and Simon Rådman on drums, and they released a 5-track EP called 'Home' in June 2016, followed by an album called 'All It Takes is Two Words' in March 2020.

Lights of Skadi released their four track EP 'A Cinematic Experience (Orchestral versions)' via Comedia on 22nd November 2024, with the full album 'A Cinematic Experience', featuring contributions by guest musicians, due to be released by the same label in early 2025.
