Artist description Reveling gleefully in overdriven guitars, over-indulgent wah pedals, and over-the-top swooshy noises, Scylding's heavy spacerock is on course to inner-space more than outer-space, leavened with a measure of traditional folk influence and the occasional medieval legend. And why not?

Music Style Guitar-driven spacerock from the past and future..

Musical Influences Saturn V rocket engines, stone circles, vats of hot fudge, the Northern Lights.

Similar Artists Hawkwind, The Levellers, DarXtar, Monster Magnet, Bedouin, Dark Sun, and probably some other people.

Artist History Scylding (we pronounce it "Shild-ing") was formed by Carl (with a little help from his friends) in order to demo some songs he had written. We haven't ever managed to mix the tracks (!), but several of them have been played on college radio stations. Hey, you gotta start somewhere!

Group Members Carl Anderson (guitar/bass), Larry Boyd (drums), Chris Anderson (synths/samples), Tania Ruiz (vocals).

Instruments Gibson LP Std, Rickenbacker 4001, drums, synths, voice.

Albums Er, none! Just these raw, vile-sounding, unmixed demos!
