a very early norwegian prog band with flutes and a calm sound, very close to Camel and canterburry, the songs have a steady evolution from calm to buissy
This is a short but sweet and Mostly instrumental live recording the only recording of this band so it seems Clocking in at only 23 minutes 39 seconds it's Prog-Rock with nice flute, some Great guitar leads and overall good musicianship with some very interesting moments .... the recordings as rare as gold-dust you wont find it anywhere! Hades - Hades {Norway, ProgRock 1974} @192kbps1) - 8-4-7 (4:40) 2) - Gullkrona (7:11) 3) - Hinayana (1:56) 4) - Saeheimsvalsen (9:52) Edited by aginor - March 27 2012 at 10:21 |

Interesting band, thanks for the recommendation.
I would support their inclusion in ProgArchives but IMHO they are not Prog Folk. Given the two samples above account for almost 3/4 of their total 23-minute recorded history, I'd feel comfortable recommending them for Eclectic or Heavy Prog.

Eclectic rejected this artist, so I will ask Heavy to evaluate. |

After listening the tracks from You Tube I could understand that Hades was a band somewhere between early Jethro Tull and Osanna. But without Folk or symphonic elements. In great substance... A great Heavy Prog band, sure!

Agi, they've been cleared for heavy for a while and now that I'm trying to add them, I'm having a hard time finding biographical info. Do you know where I can find some?

here is the musicians playing
4) Hades was a Norwegian prog rock group, hailing from the county of Vestfold. Their music has been described as a blend of Cream and Jethro Tull, with a distinct flute that makes up the melody lines together with the occasional strong bluesy guitar licks. Although they only released one vinyl/Mini LP (LP Colours COMLP 007, 1992, originaly recorded live in 1974) on Colours records in 1992 they sound remarkingly experienced on this recording. They sang in norwegian. The original vinyl is only in a 1000 ex., and must be quite rare nowadays. Thomas Karlsen -Guitar, vocals Karl Øyri -Guitar, vocals Fredrik Møystad -Flute Terje Brendsrød -Bass Guitar Per Eriksen - Drums Hades This recording originaly recorded in 1974, but was not released before 1992 at Color record lable Thomas Karlsen -Gitar, vokal Karl Øyri -Gitar, vokal Fredrik Møystad -Fløyte Terje Brendsrød -Bass Per Eriksen -Trommer |
