From Finland I recommend Absoluuttinen Nollapiste´s albums Pisara ja Lammas 1 and 2, also Risto´s album II. They´re all very great concept albums!

First of all, I wouldn't call all the bands mentioned here modern, but I suppose anything after the 80's goes right?
Secondly, I can't believe Gazpacho has not been suggested yet. Most contemporary art rock/neo prog, one of my personal favorite!

Everything Jacob Holm-Lupo and H. Froislie are involved for sure. So it does include chiefly White Willow (minus Signal to noise) and Wobbler. Then on a more "psyche side", anything having on board Reine Fiske the superb swedish guitarist would be valuable: From Landberk (Indian Summer is a classic) to the Amazing, including Morte Macabre (a meeting of Landberk and Anglagard, a feast of dark prog with mellotron a plenty) and Dungen his most popular vehicle. And for one of the leftfield, The Foundation, and obscure mid eighties band with a sole record to my knowing, quite inspired by Camel. |

I also love Scandinavian prog (mostly Swedish - Anglagard, Sinkadus, Kaipa, Beardfish, The Flower Kings, Par Lindh Project, Landberk, Anekdoten, Samla Mammas Manna), and I found there is something in common in them... maybe it's a subtle influence of Swedish folk music?

Another Norwegian band, Major Parkinson. They just released a new album, Blackbox, a few weeks ago and it has definite album of the year potential.

For me Wobbler and White Willow......big fan of Rites At Dawn by Wobbler.......I probably have played it too often over the last few years.....but it creates a really nice mood in it's pastoral prog and mysticism.

Beardfish are one of my favourite prog bands. Some Zappa-esque quirkiness thrown in for good laughs. I also recommend the latest album from leader Rikard Sjöblom's Gungfly. Now that Beardfish are sadly no longer going, this is the closest we'll get to new Beardfish material. It definitely continues in that trend.

I just heard and got Soup's last album (remedies) and was really pleasantly surprised for the extremely beautiful music from this mostly unknown band, even withing prog circles.

i would reccomend Rituals - The Hemulic Voulentary Band, very passionate and hits soft spot for fans of Moomin.
Also Mew is a band i never can not give PR for , Frangers is just such a remarkable album. Gåte is a band whom also i dare folks to check out. Edited by Icarium - November 08 2017 at 20:51 |

Second vote for A.C.T
Today's Report and Last Epic are great places to start. |
