[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])
