Search - Greenleaf :: Nest of Vipers

In theory, forming a rock group seems like a
no-brainer: a group of musicians who have a shared
love of certain bands, and who can get along with
each other for at least an hour. But in reality it s
a lot tougher, and the essential ingredient what
makes the group truly unique and memorable is
something that can t be defined, learned, or bought.
Call it talent, magic, or whatever you want, but
Greenleaf s got it. A supergroup of the stoner-rock
scene, the band was formed sometime in late 1999/
early 2000 by guitarist Tommi Holappa (Dozer),
drummer Daniel Liden (Demon Cleaner, drummer on
Dozer s Through the Eyes of Heathens, and current
member of AND The Machine Said Behold!), and
engineer/ bassist Bengt Bäcke.
Featuring a revolving cast of fellow musicians who
share a love of heavy fuzz rock, including Fredrik
Nordin (Dozer) and Peder Bergstrand (Lowrider),
Greenleaf has consistently defined what rock n roll
was, is, and should be. And now it s time to rejoice,
because Greenleaf is back with Nest of Vipers. Like
their past releases, Vipers is a righteous kick in the
ass and a testament to the almighty riff. This time,
Tommi and Bengt are joined by Oskar Cedermalm
(Truckfighters) on vocals, Olle Mårthans (Dozer)
on drums, Johan Rockner (Dozer) on guitar, and a
handful of guests. This new lineup keeps Greenleaf
moving forward without losing track of what made
them great in the first place. Take note: this is what
a rock band should sound like.
