Mogg (Sweden) - 1986 DemoMOGG were an incredible Swedish melodic metal band from the early /mid '80s!! This 1986 4-song demo was the band's classic debut demo (they released their first vinyl single soon after this recording). MOGG made their mark in Sweden throughout the '80s and then the band moved to Hollywood, CA in 1989/90 and were a top-drawing band at Hollywood and LA Valley clubs for the next few years before returning back to Sweden.
The music is traditional Swedish early '80s classy, melodic metal in the vein of early Europe, Rising Force, Treat, 220 Volt and Madison. This featured Mogg's first lineup with bassist Bjorn Melander (who went on to form the great Swedish/German band Hungry Heart in the mid-90s). Great musicianship all the way around and incredible melodic metal songs!! A very classic rare Swedish metal masterpiece!!
