Formed during the mid 90's, this Swedish, heavy progressive quartet comprises Anders Lindgren (bass), John Lönnmyr (keyboards), Mattias Jarlhed (drums) & Ola Sivefäldt (guitars and lead vocals), with all four assisting with vocals.
The band's sound is difficult to categorise. The prominent, expressive rhythm section gives the band a Tool-esque, alt-metal feel, while simultaneously showing clear influence from both Anekdoten (primarily owing to their use of mellotrons), and ”Red” era KIng Crimson. This sound-scape underpins their often bleak, depressing, angst filled lyrical subject matter, especially on their debut album, 1998's ”Kingdom of Sadness”, which revolve around death and hatred; a general tone which continued onto their follow-up; 2000's more song based ”...And Then There Is Silence”.
