Arabs in Aspic | Artist

Arabs in Aspic is a Norwegian psychedelic-progressive rock band formed 1997 in Trondheim, Norway, by guitarist and vocalist Jostein Smeby and rhythm guitarist & Theremin player, Tommy Ingebrigtsen. Ingebrigtsen left the band to focus on being a champion ski jumper, and Smeby recruited Erik Paulsen (bass), Stig Arve Jørgensen (keyboards, vocals) and Eskil Nyhus (drums). They describe their style as "heavyprog with a love for good melodies and the 70's - might contain traces of classic rock". Certainly similarities to classic era Black Sabbath and King Crimson are evident in their sound. To-date they have released seven consistently good studio albums plus an excellent live album. Standouts include their four albums issued between 2010-2017: Strange Frame of Mind, Pictures in a Dream, Victim of Your Father's Agony and Syndenes Magi, plus Live at Avantgarden from 2018.
