Swedish punk'n'folk band, with a slice of
heavy metal in it, formed in 1993. Most of its members came from
Strebers, but after that
band
broke up, three of their ex
members formed Dia Psalma. They released ten
albums of which the last was a
compilation of some of their old
songs. A few years ago, Dia Psalma was considered an
underground band, not very well known. The band unfortunately broke up in 1997, and as of now, there are no plans for a reunion.
Discography:
- Hon Får... (May '93)
- Gryningstid (February '94)
- Stora Bollar av Eld (April '94)
- Tro Rätt Tro Fel (June '94)
- Balladen om Lilla Elsa (September '94)
- Noll (October '94)
- Hundra Kilo Kärlek (May '95)
- Efter Allt (October '95)
- Luft (November '95)
- Sell Out(March '96)
Now, these guys weren't
robots who spewed out more
music than
MS releases
crappy software, their albums only had
about 5 songs on each, with the exceptions of Gryningstid and Efter Allt, which both had 11 songs on each.
Their lineup was as follows¹:
Micke "Ulke" Johansson --
Guitar and
vocals
Fredrik "Ztikkan" --
Bass and
backing vocals
Pontus -- Guitar
Stipen --
Drums
Ulke's vocals deserve a special
mention, his voice is
coarse but still
smooth, and he uses it in the best possible way, you're bound to like it.
Now, if you're feeling the need to get yourself a few Dia Psalma songs, these are my recommendations:
- Ack Högaste Himmel
- I Evighet
- Hon Kom Över Mon
- Höstmåne
- Sol Över Oss
- Vi Svartnar
I hope you're not firing up your favourite
P2P application now, go buy the albums instead!
Home taping is killing music!

I have been unable to find all of their last names, if you know them, /msg me with them and I'll put them here.
Thanks to bewe for Ulke's and Ztikkan's names.
