Swedish progressive rock band from the early 1990s, noted for Hybris (1992), Epilog (1994) and a mellotron- and flute-driven symphonic sound.

Änglagård are widely cited as a key act in the 1990s revival of symphonic progressive rock. Their early albums Hybris and Epilog are critically acclaimed for vintage instrumentation (mellotron, Hammond, flute) and Nordic atmospheres. A live document Buried Alive and a later comeback album Viljans Öga (2012) are covered in the provided reviews.

DeBaser reviews celebrate Änglagård's symphonic progressive revival and Nordic melancholy. Critics praise mellotron- and flute-driven textures and compositional ambition. Hybris and Epilog receive particular acclaim; Viljans Öga is noted as a strong comeback. Live imperfections (Buried Alive) are seen as adding soul rather than detracting.

For:Fans of 1970s symphonic prog, mellotron enthusiasts, listeners of atmospheric Nordic progressive rock

 Anglagard means "angel's garden", a name more than suitable for artists of such caliber.
