Anekdoten - The War Is Over

Howdy Folks,
Now to the next support band from the Meshuggah evening,

Anekdoten !
They take you back to late 60´s and beginning 70´s.
Classic Swedish progressive band from Borlänge, where the early 90's began as a trio under the name of King Edward. A year later they finished playing King Crimson songs and started writing their own, under the name of Anekdoten(Anecdote).
The group's debut "Melancholy". The band's vinyl album is now sold more than expensive wine on the various auction sites.

They have done 5 studio albums and 3 live albums.
Anekdoten also released a compilation album 2009.



Allmusic writes about em;
Anekdoten answers one of the great "what if" questions of art-rock: what if King Crimson hadn't broken up in the mid-seventies? Anekdoten is a remarkable sound-alike to Red-era King Crimson, which is hardly surprising given Anekdoten's roots as a tribute band. Its instrumentation of viola, distorted Rickenbacker bass, highly pitched drums, Frippy guitar, and mellotron all evoke this era of art-rock; the smoky English vocals only add to the effect.

They were somehow a bit odd in this gig with the brutal metal that Meshuggah and C.B Murdoc presented, but as I am an old progressive music lover I liked this as well.
But somehow I couldnt digest it in-between these 2 bands.

Here is some pics that Stones took at the gig :) Enjoy!

Okey Dudes and Dudettes, Here is Anekdoten!

Peace, Thetania

C.B Murdoc - 10199045

Heya Again.. Time for the supports band of the Meshuggah gig.

The first band was C.B Murdoc!



A band that really sounded good, hard brutal metal with a great melody.
I liked it a lot, havent really read much about them. Tryed to find out the names of em all...but it was harder than I thought haha Ah well Ill find out.

Stones took one pic of them, here it is.

I found a Facebook page and a Myspace page so u can get more info about em.

Starkmusic says this about them:
"I can definitely appreciate the groups that deliver music with brutal conviction, technical precision and a fury across all boundaries in an album. Live, however, tend to be a different story. You can cheat in the studio, but then delivers the entire package live is sometimes end in disaster. With CB Murdoc began with that I just stood and gaped over the guys extreme live delivery of technology, musical contortions, energy and consistent burst of energy.



A variegated collection of people on stage who delivered in full and that was really fun to see. I can happily say that the album, delivers! "Two in One" is two four-song recordings dated 2007 and in 2008 merged into a album. Looks like an album, sounds like an album, it is an album. The whole band, minus bassist John Hansen, was previously in the not entirely unknown band "Mörk Gryning". Certainly the death trends still there, but this is an entirely different musical delivery with technology, hardcore brutality".

I found a "only sound" videos with them and I picked this tune...

Cheers Folks, Thetania
