About Me

Vital, weird, romantic, aggressive, funny and most of all very, very Swedish
Änglagård are a progressive rock band from Sweden. They released two studio albums in the early 90s (Hybris and Epilog). Then they split up. Then a live album of their last show at the 94 Progfest in Los Angeles was released (Buried Alive). Then the band reunited in 2003 and played a few concerts. Then the band went back to sleep again. Nobody really knows when it's going to wake up again.
About this profile:
This is Änglagård's semi-offical profile. This means that the band knows about this profile and gave its consent. The profile, however, was created and is maintained by the same guy (Jutze) who runs www.anglagard.net , i.e., not a band member. Possibly, some of the band members stop by from time to time and read the comments. Therefore please refrain from posting unrelated comments. Feel free to praise or to criticise the band. Comments that don't relate to Änglagård at least in a very remote way will be deleted, though.
