ASKVÄDER

Electrifying Swedish rockers Åskväder makes thunder and lightning through music. Well balanced seasoning to the sound of the 90s Scandinavian rock scene mixed up with smoking hot riffs drenched in bluesy licks and catchy refrains. Adding thundering drum and bass groove with a topping consisting of elaborate vocal harmonies Åskväder is Swedish and can be translated into 'Thunderstorm'. That says it all. No fuss, just straight Rock N Roll.

 

While capturing some of the influences from the legends of our time such as The Hellacopters and Turbonegro Åskväder manages to stay in their own lane creating their own style of rock for a new decade. The new album takes the Åskväder sound heard on the debut EP to a new level, "We wanted to keep true to our roots but to try to capture how we sound live for the feeling of the new album" says Martin Gut who handles the guitar, also adding "To play live is where we are at our best". The mix was left to Robert Perhsson (Robert Perhssons Humbucker, Dundertåget, Death Breath) to handle and this truly put an intense vibe to the album.

 

Chemistry wise there was an instant match at the first rehearsals of the band and with a wide pallet of different musical styles and experiences Åskväder has evolved into a critically acclaimed live act with a big focus on concerts and live performances.

 

Åskväder was formed in 2018 consisting of Alex Mayr with his lightning speed bass grooves, August Waernelius on drumrolls, Albin Sörensson on lead vocals and Martin Gut bending guitar strings and singing harmonies.

 

Hailing from the West Coast of Sweden Åskväder is here to stay. With the singles God's Grace and Nothing To Lose Åskväder really set their mark on the rock n roll scene and presents music that will stick around. Look out for Åskväder who released their debut album through The Sign Records in March 2020.
