About me: Halcyon Magazine is an online music magazine. We seek to valiently forge newfound musical gems and unsheath epic relics from music’s untapped Akashic records- from in depth interviews with artists, live show reviews and listings, album reviews, as well as highlighting obscure auditory gems with great healing powers.
Halcyon dwells within the stupendous and sublime, the limitless void, a kingfisher’s nest upon the wind and waves. It is a shelter and a peace majestical in a region mute with age and peopled only with the dead and ruined dust of music’s tired muses from long ago.
Halcyon shall surge forth its silver flame and once again restore justice, tranquility and prosperity to music’s Dark Age. From the tallest mountain thine inner mind shall ring and cry, with the music strange and high, and revel in the grandeur of its name:
Halcyon recently caught up Graveyard's Axel Sjöberg after their American tour. Hailing from Gothenberg, Sweden, Graveyard plays psychedelic rock n'roll recalling Pentagram, the heavy riffs of ever-influential Sabbath, updated with the blues-fueled sounds of Heavy Cream. While Graveyard has been acccused of being conjoined twinsies to Sweden's other Pentagram-inspired doom metal favorite, Witchcraft, I think they stand on their own- though perhaps in the same mystic forest as their Swedish compatriots. Graveyard, for one, has a slightly jazzier feel, with more open areas of free-spirited explorations, freaked-out drumming and bluesy, improvisational sections. Their recent album, was recorded in analog by Don Ahlsterberg (Soundtrack of our Lives, The International Noise Conspiracy, Division of Laura Lee), lending them that classic Swedish-garage grit that still manages to maintain a certain pop sensibility.
Daniel recently saw Dungen play on their home turf in Stockholm, Sweden. Be sure to check out his review and catch some Swedish videos of the band he mined using his superior Elvish language skills.
