Landberk - Indian Summer (1996)

The fourth and final album from this band from Sweden.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

Three guests added saw, cello and female vocals.

I have reviewed their first three albums in ProgArchives and in # 1 and # 2 of this blog. It was about time to complete my reviews of their albums...

Landberk was a forerunner of Anglagard who then again was a forerunner of Dungen. Anglagard was a brilliant band and I have yet to sample anything from Dungen. That will be done later this year.

The music is heavy, melancholic Swedish progressive rock with some King Crimson and some Genesis and Kaipa influences. 

The music is melodic and brooding. There is a lot of mellotron in their sound.

The vocals is very good and the mellotron adds a lot to their music.

The quality is very good throughout this album. This is a classic album from Sweden everyone into Scandinavian symphonic prog should and must have.

3.5 points
