Artist Detailed Info: Vatten

Vatten were a Swedish Christian progressive rock/blues rock group formed in Gothenburg in 1970 by composer and guitarist Tomas Ernvik and were one of the first Christian bands to play heavy blues rock.

In 1975 the debut album "Heavy Water" (Tungt Vatten) with strong blues rock was released. In the 1980s the group started in Stockholm. Tours were conducted in Sweden and the rest of the Nordic countries, as well as in England. The band took part in the Greenbelt Festival twice and a track by Vatten is included on the live album released in 1979.

With his blues funk rock, Vatten was a musical style maker for many subsequent music groups. Vatten's lyrics (mostly by Tomas Ernvik) often deal with peace, environmental and social issues from a Christian perspective.
