The winner of the raffle (see last updated) has been drawn. Congratulations to Assef Vestin, who's won a copy of Hybris! 73 people have subscribed to the newsletter so far. 48 of them wanted to win an album. 38 wanted to win Hybris; only eight wanted Epilog. Two couldn't decide. Thanks to all subscribers, especially those who took the chance and commented on the band and/or the homepage.
That's all for today, but I'll be back early next week with a special treat: Mick, who did the interview for Ptolemaic Terrascope back in 1993, sent me Tord Lindman's original (handwritten) answers. I'll scan them this weekend and then add them to the site.

No news, but (finally) a newsletter! So now you won't have to visit this place every other week just to be disappointed by the lack of news. The newsletter is only for important band-related news, so if the band remains is inactive as it is these days, there might actually be no newsletter to be sent out, at all. But let's hope, the sun will shine again.
I updated the links-section and deleted some dead links. I also tried to figure out which mailorder is still carrying any Änglagård releases. Unfortunately, "Buried Alive" is the only album that's still available from several vendors. The vinyl of "Epilog" and video tapes of the "Progfest '94"-sampler might still be out there, as well. Going through the links I came across an interesting interview with Chad Hutchinson (co-organizer of NEARfest) over at Progression Magazine in which he talks about the problems with the release of an Änglagård's live album. I also added a remark from a reader on the translation of some of the lyrics to the Prolog page.
To "celebrate" the newsletter-premiere I'm giving away one Änglagård studio album ("Hybris" or "Epilog", Exergy re-release CD). If you want to be the winner, write something like "I want to win Hybris!" or "I want to win Epilog!" in your "subscribe" email and include your name and country. I will randomly draw one of these on March 30th 2007. I know that some of you already have the albums. It'd be very nice if you didn't participate in the raffle. You're more than welcome to subscribe to the newsletter, of course - just don't add the "I want to win"-part. You get the picture. Some of you are desperately looking for the albums; I'm aware of that. Please play fair and subscribe just once. Again, it's a bit difficult to control for double entries (therefore please include your name). If I discover any of them, I'll be very sad and a bit angry, too. And the respective person will be excluded from the raffle. Der Rechtsweg ist ausgeschlossen, as we say in Germany. I'll contact the lucky winner via email (who can then decide whether he/she wants his/her name mentioned here). Final note: If I come to suspect that one or more people keep cheating (read: their mails drown my mailbox), I'll cancel the whole thing and think of some other way. But I'm sure you're all reasonable enough so that won't happen.
PS: If someone prefers a mailing list where everyone can chime in and discuss, feel free to create a Yahoogroup or something similar. I simply don't have the energy and time to maintain such a thing on the long run.

Not replying to any outside pleas of reissues of old albums or releases of newer live stuff. On a personal note I find it very sad and embarrassing that the band isn't even polite or verbal enough to reply to any of these very flattering requests but as I have said on many occasion…If you want to be shot in the foot you might as well do it yourself. For this ignorance I apologize. I would love to see at least the old albums being available instead of them fetching ridiculous prices on ebay. There is a time and place for everything... when it comes to Änglagård that place is dark and the time is never."

Some more from January 6th 2007: "Jonas and Thomas from my old prog band Änglagård who dropped by as they were in the neighbourhood. We shared a couple of bottles of Clairet and had a great time."

So Happy New Year everybody...

PS: Due to some heavy traffic I had to take down some of the bigger sound files, sorry. It's just temporary, though.
