Abstrakt Algebra
Abstrakt Algebra was formed by Leif Edling, following the initial
breakup of his former band,
Candlemass.
Desiring to move somewhat away from the pure doom of Candlemass,
the material here is more in the technical power metal mold,
along the lines of
Nevermore or perhaps
Hexenhaus.
The album is quite good and received some good reviews but didn't
for whatever reason failed to set the world on fire.
Work began on a second album with a different lineup, but the
Candlemass name still loomed in the background (read:
a "new" Candlemass album would sell better than another Abstrakt
Algebra record), and so Edling took some of the ideas for that
second album, as well as drummer Jejo Perkovic, back to Candlemass,
where they materialized on the
Dactylis Glomerata album.
Thus, Abstrakt Algebra was over.
