Agents of Ahriman

"In fine continental style Greenleaf mix classicist early '70s hard rock, tinges of proto-prog as it jettisoned from psyche/acid rock, and a youth spent listening to energetic rock (regardless of hairstyles) into a pure rock reality." -- Lollipop Call it talent, magic, or whatever you want, but Greenleaf's got it. A supergroup of the stoner rock scene, the band was formed in late 1999 by guitarist Tommi Holappa (Dozer), drummer Daniel Liden (Demon Cleaner, Dozer, And Machine Said Behold), and engineer/bassist Bengt Bäcke. Featuring a revolving cast of fellow musicians who share a love of heavy fuzz rock--including Fredrik Nordin (Dozer), Daniel Jansson (Stonewall Noise Orchestra), and Peder Bergstrand (Lowrider)--Greenleaf has consistently defined what rock `n' roll was, is, and should be. Like the band's past releases, Agents of Ahriman is a righteous kick in the ass and a testament to the almighty riff. This time, the band is joined by Oskar Cedermalm (Truckfighters), Erik Bäckwall (Dozer), Jocke Åhslund (Payback), and a handful of guests. This new lineup keeps Greenleaf moving forward without losing track of what made the group great in the first place. Take note--this is what rock bands should sound like.
