Baronen & Satan ARE BACK: Quartet Release New Single
Baronen & Satan is a quartet from Gothenburg, Sweden. They call their reverby sound “Garagedeath”. Philippe and Linda met in 2013. They began to make love and music together. The project grew into a band in 2017 with the addition of Stefan and Marie. Influenced by hardcore, punk, garage, psych, and new wave, they are now produced by legendary Detroit producer Jim Diamond.
So what is “Garagedeath” exactly? We think, it may have a sound that exercises the demons of The Cramps and Siouxsie and the Banshees into a whirling dervish of dark, spirited tones and ferocious guitars. Singer Linda Rydelius’ haunting vocals possesses the ethereal and angular choral instincts of Debbie Harry, Nico, and Kate Bush with a subtle golden hair of sweet angelicness, deeply seeped in its own powerful kind of wickedness.
The guitar savagery from Phillippe Sainz bleeds viscerally into the mix, while the bottom pulse of Marie Bergkvist bass steadies and guides the flow along with the backbeat anchor of Stefan Olsson’s razor sharp drums.
