Anglagard ( 2 Albums)

Anglagard - Epilog (1994)

"Epilog! Dark, moody, mysterious, powerful, aggressive, beautiful. A wonderful album from a wonderful band. This album goes everywhere from dark medie.val folk, to incredibly dynamic, avant-symphonic prog rock, and mostly just those two, as is the fashion with Anglagard. The band does not really break down any barriers in comparison to the first album but rather refines its sound. This album sounds like a few extremely talented musicians doing exactly what they want to do, with some of the greatest execution I've ever heard. I can not say enough about this album except that it is without a doubt, a masterpiece of Symphonic prog." - endlessepic-ProgArchives

Anglagard - Hybris (1992)

"The band was formed in the summer of 1991 by guitarist and lead vocalist Tord Lindman and bassist Johan Högberg. The pair placed ads to form a band in the vein of the seventies progressive bands such as Yes and King Crimson, which were successfully answered by keyboardist Thomas Johnson and guitarist Jonas Engdegård. Drummer Olsson and flautist Holmgren were soon added and by the following spring the band were touring and logging studio sessions that would yield the well-received album Hybris..." - ProgArchives
