Album Notes & Community Reviews

A full decade after the release of its predecessor, the Swedish sextet returns with the highly anticipated 'Himlabacken Vol. 2'. The record is a masterclass in unabashedly joyful, symphonic progressive rock, characterized by intricate vocal harmonies and flawlessly executed technical instrumentation. It remains deeply rooted in the classic 1970s progressive tradition, bolstered by a pristine, modern production value.
