Swedish pop/eurodance group led by Alexander Bard, noted for extravagant visuals, camp aesthetics and a mix of dance-pop with gothic and religious references.

Formed in Sweden in the late 1980s; core figures include Alexander Bard and Jean-Pierre Barda; performers have included Camilla Henemark (La Camilla), Michaela Dornonville de la Cour and Dominika Peczynski. Best known for the international hit "Crucified" and for a highly stylised, theatrical image.

DeBaser's reviews praise Army Of Lovers as a deliberate, highly visual pop act that turns camp into art. Alexander Bard is identified as the project's mastermind. Key albums and songs (Crucified, Say Goodbye To Babylon, The Gods Of Earth And Heaven) are highlighted for combining catchy pop/dance with gothic and religious allusions.

For:Fans of 90s pop, camp aesthetics, artfully kitsch eurodance and visually driven music projects.

 Unlikely alchemists capable of transforming camp into art, tightrope walkers able to float on a very thin wire without falling into the void of trash and kitsch; fun, explicit, gaudy and cunning; a bright meteor that burned out in a few years (and many hits) in a dazzling whirlwind of sequins and glitter, in three words: Army Of Lovers.

 "A great poet, a truly great poet, is the least poetic of all creatures. But lesser poets are enchanting. And the worse their poems, the more attractive they seem to me. The mere fact of having published a volume of second-rate sonnets makes a man irresistible."

 Army Of Lovers? Concept album? No, gentlemen, I’m not crazy, or at least not more than usual, and I assure you that an album like "The Gods Of Earth And Heaven" can be considered as such with full dignity.
