Prog music

Prog explorers, prepare for impact: Lars Karlsson steps out solo with crunchy rhythms and louder guitars — "like Song for a Gorgeous Blonde had a car accident with Gentle Giant and nobody knew how to put the pieces back together." I Am Gorgeous Yellow (Also) cranks up the prog, stomping dinosaurs and all, while Höstaffären conjures Gothic-Electro-Industrial beats with minimalist piano and strings — Phillip Glass meets Danny Elfman. Zen älskarinna offers an 8-minute ambient cinematic drift through Asian-influenced sounds, and Buzzard rounds things out with a war-themed doom folk metal double-shot pairing a heavy anthem with an acoustic acoustic tale.
