GAUPA (Swedish for "lynx") is a progressive rock band emerging from the fertile musical landscapes of Sweden, known for their eclectic blend of heavy rock, psychedelia, and folk. Since their inception in 2017, GAUPA have captivated audiences with their unique sound and haunting vocal performances by frontwoman Emma Näslund. The band channels a mix of dreamy atmospheres and riff-heavy walls of sound, effectively combining the surreal qualities of bands like Pink Floyd with the raw power of groups like Black Sabbath.

Their discography carries listeners through a diverse array of sonic terrains, as evidenced by compelling tracks such as "Myriad" and the haunting "Diametrical Enchantress." GAUPA's live performances have also gained notoriety, showcasing their dynamic on-stage energy, particularly in releases like "Mjölksyra (Live 2020)." Their penchant for storytelling through their music is evident in conceptually driven pieces like "Mammon" and the energetic "Feberdröm." Throughout their releases, including the immersive "Live Session at MonkeyMoon Studios," GAUPA continues to solidify their standing as a noteworthy name within the international rock and metal scene, offering a gripping and otherworldly auditory experience to all who venture into their realm of sound.
