Structural Disorder

"Definitely one of the coolest bands we've heard in a long time. Structural Disorder's sound is rooted in a quirky Swedish progressive rock melodic style with a strong does of modern metal and uses the electric accordion as their keyboard! One of the best new Swedish prog bands since Beardfish." - progmetalzone.com "[...] musically though, it’s a straight up monster, delivering on so many aspects of what I love about progressive music. And in the mix, they manage to throw in some unique elements, with the electronic accordion for a keyboard (really want to see that live) and the folk touch that really adds color to the overall picture. This is one new band I will be keeping a serious eye on for sure." - ladyobscure.com "Visst kan dessa killar hantera sina instrument på ett ytterst skickligt sätt, men det handlar aldrig om rent uppvisningsspel utan snarare om känsla, timing och inlevelse. Extra skoj med Johannes West som lirar alla keyboards genom ett elektroniskt dragspel. Ett klart udda inslag som säkert ser ascoolt ut live. Totalt sett har dessa unga musiker levererat ett riktigt jäkla bra debutalbum som ger klar mersmak, och som skulle vara riktigt kul att få se och höra live i sen helhet." - artrock.se "From the get-go there are massive lashings of modern prog as well as the occasional hungry gravellings of voice combined with some good vocal work. The great thing though is that they sort of go beyond anything the other two would almost dare to try. I mean I don’t think in all the albums I’ve heard there has been an acoustic guitar and accordion combo following some heavy metal thrashing, but this is a taste of what ”The Edge of Sanity” brings to the table." - rockfreaks.net Structural Disorder is a progressive metal group formed in Stockholm, Sweden in September 2011. The band consists of Markus Tälth (Guitar/Vocals), Jóhannes West (Electric Accordion/Vocals), Hjalmar Birgersson (Guitar/Vocals), Erik Arkö (Bass/Vocals) and Karl Björk (Drums). The band was formed during the summer of 2011 by Erik Arkö, Johannes West and Markus Tälth. The band was later completed with the arrival of the drummer Karl Björk and guitarist/vocalist Hjalmar Birgersson. The work with the EP ” A PRELUDE TO INSANITY” began instantly once the band was complete and on january 1th, the recording session began. The recording session took place night time during the period january 1th – january 5th at Högskolan Dalarna in Falun. The EP was in part produced by the band, but also by sound engineer John Nilsson Tysklind, who has recently released an album with his band Rhinestone. Co – engineer Scott Crocker had also a large part in the form that ” A prelude to insanity” took. The EP was recorded during four ten hour shifts, followed by a month of mastering, mixing and general exploring of numerous ideas that came to mind during this phase in the production. The EP was released on the 9th of march 2012. With more material and higher ambitions the band once again entered the studio in Falun in january 2013, this time with Scott Crocker as the sound engineer. The recording took place in the studio as well as in Stockholm. Eventually, the Full lenght debut, entitled "THE EDGE OF SANITY" was released on the 4th of february 2014. The band has since november 2013 been rehearsing new songs, and so far the contents for the potential second album stays in the progressive vein, with a slighty different - but yet familiar - sound compared to the one on "The Edge of Sanity".
