Our small rural region in Sweden is well known for its music scene and the bands that it has fathered. Hypocrisy, Dark Funeral, Pain and Sabaton are only a few of the well known bands who were procreated in the midst of the snow driven forests and dairy farms. Our city of Borlänge ,about 40,000 people strong, has been a large contributor to that music scene and that music scene is a large part of Borlänge’s identity. On April 7, 2018  a book “Dancing the Whole Way Home ” was released culminating 70 years of music in our town.

METHANE is very proud to be a small part, to even be mentioned among the thousands of musicians who have been spawned here Dalarna County. Jimi Masterbo (Methane guitarist) has been a staple in the music scene here for a long while and his formeer metal band Hell Patrol ,along with Christopher  Säterdal and Jonas Arnberg of  Viking folk metal band Fimbultyr and Stephan Pizza Eriksson who later would go on to play bass in Volturyon and Civil War, has a full 2 page feature in the Swedish language Publication.

Don’t miss Jimi and Methane on tour in Europe this spring.
