Almost legendary in Swedish post-rock circles, they’ve been sculpting emotional thunder since 2003. Their debut album Give Me Beauty… Or Give Me Death! (2006) didn’t just launch a career — it set a standard. A sweeping, cinematic blueprint that helped define a genre.

Over the years, albums like I Am Responsible, Mourning Golden Morning, and Ceremonies cemented EF’s place in post-rock history, while their intense, immersive live shows — 400+ across Europe and Asia — earned them a devoted global following. And with 2022’s We Salute You, You and You! on Pelagic Records, they proved they’re still pushing limits, not just playing memories.

For over two decades, EF has been shaping their sound — sweeping dynamics, emotional depth, and cinematic intensity. Their music blends raw power with delicate detail, crafted to move both crowds and hearts. A band in constant motion, always pushing the boundaries of what instrumental music can be. Viva Sounds 2025 will be a unique opportunity to see the band perform the debut album Give Me Beauty… Or Give Me Death! in it's entirety!

Longtime fans will feel the love. New ones? Time to fall in.
