VIVID.presents: Sagor Som Leder Mot Slutet (SE) + Monograf

Sagor Som Leder Mot Slutet is a Swedish instrumental post‐rock/post‐metal band crafting immersive, narrative‐driven soundscapes that balance heaviness with fragility.

Independent since 2014, the band has released four acclaimed studio albums - I, II, II and IV - and composed the award‐winning soundtrack for the film Iris.

Their dynamic, atmospheric performances have earned them recognition at festivals such as VIVID. a post-rock festival and Dunk! Festival, establishing them as one of Scandinavia’s most compelling voices in modern post‐rock.Music: https://linktr.ee/sagorsomledermotslutetIf Scandinavian noir had a post-apocalyptic soundtrack, it would sound like MONOGRAF.

On their second full-length album, Occultation, the Norwegian collective conjures asoundscape that draws on the brooding intensity of Grails and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, while threading through the haunting melancholy of Scandinavian folk instrumentslike the nykkelharpa and fiddle.

The result is music that feels as vast and desolate as the Nordic landscape itself, dark, cinematic, and hauntingly beautiful.At the center of MONOGRAF is composer Erik Aanonsen, whose unique background shapes the band’s singular sound.

With roots in the black metal underground as a former member ofAntestor, collaborations with acclaimed Norwegian folk singer Pål Moddi, and a degree in film scoring, Aanonsen brings a rare breadth of vision that straddles heaviness, melancholy, andcinematic drama.Music: https://monograf.bandcamp.com/
