Spiritual Beggars  

Spiritual Beggars tapped into the stoner metal scene in a big way in the mid-nineties, with a sound borrowing from Kyuss and late-period Trouble, augmented by some wonderful Hammond organ work on their more recent albums. This is a showcase for guitarist Mike Amott's versatility, as he's more well-known for his work in bands quite different from this, such as Carcass and Arch Enemy. They're recording less frequently now, with their last album in 2005 but a new one presently being worked on for a 2010 release.

Current Members Apollo Papathanasio vocals (Evil Masquerade, Firewind, Meduza) Michael Amott guitars (Arch Enemy, Candlemass, Carcass, Carnage) Sharlee D'Angelo (Charles Andreason) bass (Arch Enemy, Dismember, Illwill, Mercyful Fate, Sinergy, Witchery) Per Wiberg keyboards (Krux, Opeth) Ludwig Witt drums (Firebird, Grand Magus)

Former Members/Guests Spice (Christian Sjöstrand) bass/vocals (Kayser, Mushroom River Band) Janne Christoffersson vocals (Grand Magus) Roger Nilsson bass (Firebird, The Quill)
