You Should be Listening to...Burst

Another doozie from Sweden, Burst formed back in 1993 and called it quits on good terms in 2009. In that time, they made stunning progressive metalcore music that is a joy for those of us who like our ears being offered the challenge of intense aural beauty. This below is from their 2005 album, 'Origo'. Enjoy Burst!

I'm not certain if any new bands are due to form from the respective members but I'll be sure to look out for 'em.

You Should Be Listening To... Truckfighters!

Sweden is the current source of the bulk of the best stoner rock going. The Swedish bands tend to a more involved and progressive style rather than simple ode-to-Sabbath fuzzery. One of the best of these is Truckfighters, who mix traditional heavy stoner rock with desert rock slickness and construct their songs with thought out tones from each instrument (even the vocals, often neglected by such bands) and wonderfully unique guitar harmonies.

See the Born Again Nihilist Youtube channel for a full playlist of 'You Should Be Listening To...' videos.
