Frostens Band has only one album to
their credit, most notable for featuring guitarist Hållbus Totte
Mattsson who rose to fame in the 80's with folk rock band
Hedningarna. Guitarist and singer Jörgen Näslund also has
Hedningarna connections, he wrote ”Täppmarschen” on their third
album.
”Frostens Band” was once dubbed the worst progg album ever but that's not fair, it's not even close. What this band does lack
though, is personality and passion. Ingrid Torarp's cello is a nice addition but
the songs are mediocre and the performances are bland with prissy
vocals all around. The best feature is Tommie Andersson's baroque guitar playing on ”Frostens band”, the track. He later dedicated himself entirely to early guitar and lute music, and moved to Australia in the mid-80's.
