Mårran is a Swedish rockgroup formed in 2010 in Stockholm, Sweden.

History

The band formed in 2010 by the two then 20-year olds Morgan Korsmoe and Ludwig Larsson (both born 1989). Morgan grew up playing bass in his father's band Larz Kristerz but had an heavy urge for the rock music of the 70's and wanted to start a group playing hard-rock/blues-rock. Morgan and guitarist Ludwig recruited drummer Björn "Binge" Inge (born 1952) from the legendary Swedish hard-rock band November (the Swedish Cream and the first band to sing hard-rock in Swedish around 1970), Hammond organ player Max Lorentz (known for his work as producer and musician for very many artists in Sweden and Denmark) and the legendary rock vocalist Göran Edman, world known for his work with amongst others Yngwie Malmsteen. The group decided to write their own material in their native tounge of Swedish.

October 2011 saw the release of Mårran's debut single "Gärdesbrud" on Blind Boyscout Records in a limited edition of 500 copies an din March 2012 the debut album Mårran was released in Sweden on S-Rock Records produced and mixed by Max Lorentz.

The songs on the album are:

1. Än sen (Rough English translation: "So What")
2. Folkvisa från Helvetet (Rough English translation: "Folk Ballad From Hell")
3. Syster Blå (Trollpolska från Älvdalen) (Rough English translation: "Sister Blue (Goblin Dance From Älvdalen")
