Another Scandinavian band not mentioned much is Thule from Norway. Although they released an album in the late eighties I believe. Another dark and melancholic band that hits all the right buttons for me.

I'm thinking that some of the bands from Norway give the Swedes a run for their Kroner.......

Anekdoten, because it's the only one I've heard from this grouping. My question is what group on the list should I look into next?

Try Anglagard's Hybris and then The Flower King's Stardust We Are. Can't go wrong with either.

If you like Anekdoten, look into Landberk. They're more similar in style than Anglagard or TFK.

this poll is bad misrepresentasjon of Nordic as all e bands are Swedish ( e third largest music (western hemisphere) export markert after US and UK)
Sweden does not encompas all that is Nordic.

It's really sad that no one mentioned PÄR LINDH PROJECT, for me the best recreators of the early prog, they went even further getting inspiration from early baroque music and reaching the deepest haunting atmospheres with unique and sublime organ melodies, dark and spiritual at the same breath. Par Lindh really manages to keep that typical 70's fire and passion but in his very own way.

Landberk Anekdoten Anglagard Sinkadus The Flower Kings
Still have yet to hear Par Lindh Project--though I've tried many times! They sound like they'd be right up my alley!

Anglagard and I found Epilog and Viljans to not even be great. Hybris was that amazing.

White willow instead began in the mid-nineties (his first album is

Well, just to be precise here: Sinkadus' debut came in 1997, the first proper Flower Kings album in 1995 and the first Pär Lindh in 1994, so I don't see that having released a debut in 1995 should disqualify my humble band (White Willow). Jus' sayin'

I'm deadlocked between Anekdoten and Anglagard. I'll have to come back later.  |
