Heavy Prog
Sweden
Briliant scandinavian progressive
LANDBERK is one of Sweden's darkest bands. Their sound is sombre and almost mournful. There is a subtle balance between the Mellotron sounds, the guitar parts and vocals full of melancholy and the rhythm gaps from bass and drums. Evoking KING CRIMSON KING to GENTLE GIANT.
"Riktig Äkta" (Swedish vocals) is an absolute brilliant album and strongly recommend it to fans of the Scandinavian scene. "Lonely Land" features a brave cover version of T2's classic "No More White Horses", and it's an all-round winner! Contrastingly, "One Man Tells Another" steps on to more KING CRIMSON styled realms, like a less complex more direct ÄNGLAGÅRD. Subsequent albums mellowed somewhat.
