 Melodic Death Metal Sweden MySpace Discography * "Two Feet Stand" – 1997 * "Soulburner" – 1999 * "Sindustries" – 2000  Gardenian was a Swedish melodic death metal band from Gothenburg that was formed in 1996 and disbanded in 2004. Gardenian was formed in April 1996 by drummer Thim Blom and vocalist/guitarist Jim Kjell. Eventually, guitarist Niklas Engelin and bassist Håkan Skoger joined the band. Later in 1996, the band recorded a demo and sent it to Listenable Records who gave the band a record deal and booked Studio Fredman that same year so that the band could record their debut studio album. In 1997, Gardenian released their debut studio album, Two Feet Stand. After the album's release, the band was pretty dormant due to lack of interest by their label Listenable Records. At this point Niklas Engelin decided to join In Flames for some tours. However, eventually the band decided they needed to break off their contract with Listenable Records and dedicate themselves fully to the band, something which bassist Håkan Skoger felt he could no longer do since he wanted to focus on his other band Headplate. After breaking off their contract with Listenable Records the band signed with Nuclear Blast. In 1999, Gardenian recorded and released their second studio album, Soulburner, which was also recorded in Studio Fredman. This album featured guest vocals by Eric Hawk (ex-Artch) and Sabrina Khilstrand (ex-Ice Age). After Soulburner's release the band toured with bands such as In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Children of Bodom, Hypocrisy, The Kovenant, and Evereve. In 2000, Gardenian recorded and released their third studio album, Sindustries. This album was recorded in Abyss Studio and produced by Peter Tägtgren. Shortly after the release of Sindustries, Gardenian felt disappointed with the way Nuclear Blast was treating them, so they broke off their contract. In 2003, Gardenian underwent major line-up changes and in 2004, the band eventually disbanded. wikipedia  year....1997 Tracklist^ 1. Two Feet Stand 2. Flipside of Reality 3. The Downfall 4.

Лоран Мерле, шеф легендарной французской конторы, открывшеймиру таких корифеев андерграунда, как ANCIENT, IMMORTAL, LUCIFERION, MYDYING BRIDE(!), отдохнув от дел подземных два годика, возвращается в большоймир. На этот раз он двигает талантливую и интересную шведскую группу GARDENIAN.Шведы, понятное дело, играют тотальную шведскую музыку, делают это гадкоедело по–шведски хорошо и виртуозно. В общем, все как положено. Чем трогательнывсе эти команды death/black (почему это так называется, похоже, не знаетникто), так это тем, что, кроме упреков в следовании тренду и во вторичности,больше им ничего не "пришьешь". Полностью справедливо в отношенииэтих, хмм, шведских newcomers. Но! "Two Feet Stand" намного интереснее75% соотечественных продуктов, даром что выпускаемых (и соответственнорекламируемых) более крупными фирмами. Любой металхэд, случайно иль осознаннозаимевший сей альбом, о своем выборе никогда не пожалеет: шведский продукточень хорош, плюс старательно "упакован" французами. Итак: скорость,агрессия, перфектная реализация и два с половиной вагона мелодичности.Sweden rules! © Музыкальная газета :: home page  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _____________________________________ |
