Sörskogen

[mylovedenied]

Anyone know anything about them? Mike does the vocals and, well, that's about all I know. Does anyone know where I can find their stuff?

 

[NFU]

why do we even have an FAQ?

 

[mylovedenied]

I don't recall anything in the FAQ about them....

[EDIT]: OK, I looked through the FAQ...nothing on them, except saying that the chorus from one song was ripped from them.

 

[NFU]

alright, well my mistake. ill have moonlapse add that to the FAQ.


Sorkskogen was a small side project band of mikael and dan swano...paying homage to vintage 70s progressive rock. using guitars, vintage keyboards, and sung in their native language (swedish)...good material more or less...and as you already know, the chorus from "to rid the disease" is from sorkskogen.

 

[mylovedenied]

Ah, OK, thanks.

 

[dorian gray]

i played bass for them. not the easiest people to work with but good times nevertheless.

 

[Arnold Layne]

Where do i get some of these tunes?

 

[Ermz]

Strange, it's not listed under related releases on www.opeth.com. Alot of the side project info is on www.opeth.com that's why I didn't add much into the FAQ about it. Looks like it's time for an update though.

Where do i get some of these tunes?

You can get them on most of the major p2p programs, or you can IM me and I can send it to you....hopefully. Some weird firewall action going on with my computer.

 

[deliverance]

there was only one known sorskogen song recorded, so don't go nuts trying to find a full album or anything guys haha.

 

[Geyzer60]

Yeah, the only track recorded for Sorskogen is "Mordet I Grottan"

 

[Lord_AgathoN]

But that one is REAL killer....

 

[Anarkissed]

I heart that song! it's awesome.

 

[Demoke]

Sorskogen is the Swedish town where Mike grew up, I think.

Mylovedenied: Use this link, this was a Sörskogen thread, there you can find the song, the meaning/translation and even the lyrics in swedish. Hope that helps.
And as 9FU said, you'll notice the chorus from Damnation's To Rid The Disease is from Sörskogen.
