We are thrilled to welcome the band Åskväder to the Evil Art Family. New music coming soon!

Electrifying Swedish rock outfit ÅSKVÄDER delivers a high-voltage blend of blues-infused melodic rock, fusing raw nostalgia with a modern edge. Their sound is rooted in the spirit of the ’90s Scandinavian rock scene, driven by scorching riffs, bluesy leads, and shimmering harmonies. Thunderous drums and a grooving bass foundation collide with catchy pop hooks and gritty guitars, creating a powerful, no-frills rock experience.

True to their name—Swedish for “thunderstorm”—ÅSKVÄDER brings an explosive force of pure Rock ’n’ Roll. While drawing inspiration from iconic acts like The Hellacopters and Turbonegro, ÅSKVÄDER carves out a distinct identity, crafting a sound that feels both familiar and forward-looking.

Formed on Sweden’s west coast, the band released their debut EP Quick Fixes in 2018. In 2020, they teamed up with The Sign Records for their self-titled debut album. Their second full-length release, Fenix, followed in 2022, and in fall 2023 they dropped the EP Electric Tide.

In 2025, charismatic frontwoman Saga Flygare Täll joined as lead vocalist and guitarist, marking a new chapter for the band. A third full-length album is set for release in 2026 in collaboration with Icons Creating Evil Art.

Known for their electrifying live performances, ÅSKVÄDER has toured extensively across Scandinavia, Spain, and Germany, leaving a lasting impression on audiences everywhere.

Today, ÅSKVÄDER consists of Lucas Monryd (bass), Tim Ferm (drums), Saga Flygare Täll (lead vocals and guitar), and Martin Gut (lead guitar). Keep an eye out—the storm continues in 2026.

" The nine new songs go panoramic with a mix of warm psychedelic pop and melodic indie rock without losing their introspective core. The cohesion is impressive, atmospheric and persistently magnetic thanks to layered guitars, analog textures, and earnest, unguarded vocals." Read the full review from Add To Wantlist on the new Telos Vision album 'Decisions' (link in comments)

Swedish artist Ellen Benediktson steps into a new creative chapter, embracing vulnerability, independence, and artistic growth. In this interview with METAL Magazine, she reflects on evolving her sound, trusting her instincts, and shaping a more personal, honest expression beyond expectations.

Ellen Benediktson frames envy as something awkward, exposed and emotionally exact on “Jealousy”, opening a more vulnerable chapter before the arrival of her EP “WID4L”.
