I don't know many bands from Sweden. I know the Cardigans and Kent are.

Unisex are Swedish and they have released a very good album.

Others I know are the Hives, the Wannabies and of course Roxette.

I know a lot of electro stuff like Plej but this is the rock section.

Is Opeth Swedish? I think they are. I like them.

lol...I remember these guys.

I was into them in the early 90s with their Second Coming album. Tracks like "Heartbreak Blvd" and "Sexdrugsrock'n'roll" were the shit back then.

The singer, Tim Skold, then went on to form his own project, Skold, and released a self-titled debut album in 1996.

With the recent departure of Jeordie White (Twiggy Ramirez) from Marilyn Manson, Tim Skold stepped up to the bass duties for MM's latest studio release, The Golden Age of Grotesque. He's the blonde one with the messy red lipstick.

If you enjoy the Shotgun Messiah album(s), I highly suggest the Skold album. It has a more industrial feel to it and the majority of the songs are pretty solid.
