The music of GÖSTA BERLINGS SAGA is an incredibly dynamic Nordic instrumental adventure, tilting from melodic, starkly beautiful lines shimmering like an aurora borealis over the desolate Arctic tundra, to powerful and aggressive riffs reminiscent of glacier calves crashing into rugged Scandinavian fjords.
Over the years the band's music has been compared to King Crimson, Goblin and Radiohead, mixed into their very own and peculiar sonic universe.
GÖSTA BERLINGS SAGA was formed in 2000 in the Stockholm suburb of Vällingby, taking its bandname from one of the most famous works in Swedish literature, the debut novel of Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf, which was published in 1891. To date GBS have released 4 albums as follows: "Tid Är Ljud" (translated "Time Is Sound") in 2006, "Detta Har Hänt" (translated "This Has Happened") in 2009, "Glue Works" in 2011 and most recentlly "Sersophane" in late 2016 via the band's own label Icosahedron Music.
GBS have now teamed up with InsideOutMusic as new worldwide label partner to launch their fifth studio album entitled "ET EX", which was recorded throughout a year-long period from May 2017 until May 2018 in various studios with the help of producer Daniel Fagerström and mastered by Heba Kadry at Timeless Mastering (Björk, The Mars Volta).
