Some Renowned Scandinavian Prog Rock Music Groups

By Catherine Gibson


Over the years, this type of music has received massive support and love from fans in all parts of the world. It originated way back in the late sixties, thanks to Beatles Sergeant Pepper and also Pink Floyd. Bands like Genesis and Yes consequently sprang up, and ever since, there has been an upsurge in the number of bands making covers and also producing new metal music. These groups have largely facilitated the growth and popularity of the Scandinavian prog Rock genre.

There are many bands that came into existence to foster the dominance and growth of metal and rock music, with Sweden registering the lions share in the number of bands springing up. For instance, the Beard Fish Group, which was formed in two thousand and one, can stand comparison with giant likes Genesis and Yes. It has, upon its formation, been able to make a sterling composition of many different musicians.

Originating from Sweden also, is another group called the Flower Kings. This came into origin in the mid-nineties, by Roine Stolt, the popular guitarist. Since then, the band prides itself in releasing a total of eleven albums.

Another notable band with experience in the music genre in question is the Magic Pie of Norway. This group celebrates sounds that existed in the seventies, and blend them with modern rock music. The band used catchy guitar riffs, strong melodies, string melodies, vocal arrangements drums and tight bass, to give an ultimate finish. Their music is heavy, but gentle. The group sufficed in two thousand and five, and has since produced four successful albums.

Magic Pie is another celebrated band, from Norway. This is a distinct band that uses sounds that were produced in the seventies, and gives them a fresh sense by blending them with modern sounds. The group uses string as well as strong melodies, vocal arrangement drums, catchy guitar riffs as well as tight bass, to produce unique quality metal music that is not only heavy, but also gentle. The group takes pride in having produced four albums since its formation in two thousand and five.

From Finland, is also the Hydria Space Folk group. This is another spectacular group in the field, and has since been making great jams of psychedelic space metals. The group does not only use the usual instruments like guitars and keyboards, but also employs other instruments like flutes, violins, vibraphones, marimbas, and didgeridoos, among others.

The Moon Safari group is also another proficient group in the industry. The band has symphonic instrumentals that have somewhat complicated vocal harmonies, and these are the most vital components of their productions. They are widely known for their remarkable prowess in making acapellas.

Their performances are not restricted to a certain time frame, and some of their songs go up to ten minutes long. All these, including many more like Kingson Wall of Helsinki have played major roles in producing Scandinavian progressive music songs and albums.
