I recommend starting with Michael Idehall's album "SOL".

Joakin Westlund of Aerial/the Giant's Dream has a new solo project called Alpha Mound and this right here is his debut. Look for the album "Burning words" to be released later this year.

Get past the goofy intro and dig some solid blackened sludge from Norway's Black Hole Crew.
No denying that Mustasch are patently uncool and aggressively dumb, but I can't deny I still dig 'em sometimes.
Solid new punkrock from Northern Sweden featuring members from UX Vileheads.
