Swedish synthpop in the end of the 90s. One band really stood above the others. A band that played virtually everywhere there was a stage to be played. A band that actually even reached outside the "synthpop scene". Everywhere they played people were singing along to their catchy tunes. Then... they more or less just disappeared. Many years has passed without a trace. But now on April 27th Progress Productions are proud to present the return of classic act SAFT. A brand new limited edition CD-single called "Aldrig som förr" with the B-side track "Allt som allt" is avaiable for order now. Limited edition to 500 copies. 2-track CD single avaiable in the Progress shop now! Listen to a soundclip HERE!

Half of the detailed pieces are totally original for the release, others are Berzinsh classics cunningly tailored to the themes of the album, which are themes rife with heady witchcraft, be it persecution, retribution or unfettered spiritual liberation. The female form is rampant throughout the artwork, unashamedly displayed in its classical rendition of beauty... and horror.”

When offered the chance of rearranging a selection of their best tracks to be performed by a full symphony orchestra for the third installment of the popular "Gothic Meets Klassik"-festival, it was like a long-held dream come true. And when performed with the sonic prowess of an orchestra, what were once club-compatible Electro-tunes suddenly unfolded a completely new form of emotional energy which left everyone, including the band, completely flabbergasted.
