Fanatism

***Fanatism hails from Stockholm, Sweden and are part of the same collective that spawned the psychimprov bunch Kungens Män, yet musically it is a different beast. You will find Fanatism somewhere at the crossroads between Stooges Street, Can Road, Sabbath Blvd and Morricone Avenue. You are in classic rock territory with a psychedelic twist. Fanatism started out in 2013 after Tomas Bergstrand (guitar, vocals) and Mikael Tuominen (bass,vocals) decided to continue making music together after their old band Switch Opens disbanded after 13 years. Soon they were joined by synth wizard Peter Erikson and drummer Jonas Yrlid, and a few years later Gustav Nygren sharpened the edge with his guitar and saxophone. After a couple of recordings under a different name, as well as some sporadic gigging, they finally releasedthe debut album The Future Past on Drone Rock Records (UK) in 2018.
