History
Änglagård is a progressive rock band from Sweden formed in 1991 by guitarist and vocalist Tord Lindman and bassist Johan Högberg. Their primary influences included bands such as King Crimson, Genesis, Trettioåriga Kriget, Schicke Führs Fröhling, Van Der Graaf Generator, and other bands of the 1970s. They released two albums, Hybris (1992) and Epilog (1994), as well as a live album (Buried Alive (1994), taken from a 1992 festival appearance) before breaking up. Their first two studio albums are among the most highly regarded progressive works of the 1990s by fans of the genre. Their music is entirely instrumental (aside from some sparse vocals in songs such as "Vandringar I Vilsenhet" and the bonus track "Gånglåt från Knapptibble") and features gentle passages for flute, mellotron, and acoustic guitar contrasted with louder passages of complex rhythms, angular melodies, electric guitar and Hammond organ.
Änglagård split up in 1994. They played some reunion concerts in 2002 and 2003, but no new releases.
