Anekdoten is a Swedish progressive rock band, composed of guitarist/vocalist Nicklas Barker, cellist/keyboardist Anna Sofi Dahlberg, bassist/vocalist Jan Erik Liljeström and drummer Peter Nordins.[1]. They are notable for the use of the mellotron and their heavy sound dominated by a pounding bass guitar. Their music is associated with the tradition of 1970s progressive rock music, especially that of King Crimson[2]. Their album A Time of Day was #6 in the Global Progressive Rock Radio Network's Top 100 Progressive Rock discs of 2007.

[edit] Morte Macabre
In 1998, Nicklas Barker and Peter Nordins of Anekdoten, along with Stefan Dimle and Reine Fiske of fellow Swedish progressive rock band Landberk created the album Symphonic Holocaust. The album is comprised mostly of covered themes from horror movies, such as Cannibal Holocaust and Rosemary's Baby. Its music is characterised by improvisation, and the plentiful use of mellotron and synthesizers.[3])
