Memory Garden

Best described as a doom band with some uptempo moments (or, alternatively, a power metal band with strong doom overtones), Memory Garden has released four albums in their career thus far, highlighted by Stefan Berglund's vocals (occasionally sounding like a less operatic Messiah Marcolin, at other times perhaps reminiscient of Solitude Aeturnus' Robert Lowe). Though their last album was in 2000, they are still active as of this writing, releasing a single in 2004 and occasionally playing live. A new album, Carnage Carnival, was supposed to be released in 2007, but that hasn't happened yet.
