Hybris was the first studio album by the
Swedish Prog-Rock group
Änglagård.Released in late 1992 it would become one of the most influential albums of the new wave of
progressive rock in the
90's. It begins with Jordrök (which means earthsmoke), the only fully
instrumental piece on the album. The music is quite similar to 70's
Prog-Rock groups such as
Yes,
Cathedral and
King Crimson, but
Änglagård has also succeeded in creating their own style, much thanks to Holmgren's folklore-sounding flute play and Olsson's highly distinctive drumming (he was only 17 in 1992). There are also obvious similarities to the obscure 1970s band Cathedral's one-shot album Stained Glass Stories.
