Greenleaf

Greenleaf is a stoner rock band hailing from Sweden, known for their heavy riffs, psychedelic overtones and a solid footing in the Nordic rock tradition. The band initially emerged as a side project in the late 1990s, sprouting from the fertile Swedish rock scene that also gave rise to celebrated bands like Dozer, with whom they share past members. With Tommi Holappa from Dozer at the creative helm (guitar), Greenleaf steadily evolved from a loosely organized collective into a fully-fledged band over the years.

Breathing life into the stoner and psychedelic rock genres, Greenleaf has crafted a rich discography that showcases their knack for combining memorable melodies with the weight of earth-shaking rock. Their progression can be traced from the early jams and raw energy of their initial works, like "Revolution Rock" and "Secret Alphabets," to the more refined and exploratory sonic landscapes of the later "Agents Of Ahriman" and "Nest of Vipers." The 2010s saw the band reaching new heights of creativity and recognition, with albums such as "Trails & Passes," "Rise Above the Meadow," and "Hear the Rivers" garnering critical and fan acclaim. Their 2021 album "Echoes from a Mass" further solidified their standing in the global rock scene, displaying Greenleaf's maturity as songwriters and their commitment to capturing the raw spirit of rock, tinted with echoes of the mystical and arcane that resonate through their characteristic sound.
