Driving around yesterday, the song Where the river meets the sea, came up on my shuffling Ipod.
It was fantastic, so I played the whole first album Lady of the Light ( 2004) , reminding me how truly wonderful this Swedish band were.
Really great retro proto/hard rock that actually supersedes many of its obvious influences.
A virtuosic Uriah Heep comes to mind first, along with Deep Purple, Rainbow, Led Zep, Jethro Tull, Quatermas, Camel, Angel and the Beatles.
Today I'm spinning their sophmore release- Sound of the Apocalypse.
Any fans?
