History

Sällskapet is a Swedish electronic post-industrial rock band that appeared in 2007 and is headed by the rock legend Thåström. Other band members include Pelle Ossler and Niklas Hellberg. The band existed as a secret hobby band for three years before appearing publicly in 2007 with the release of their first, self-titled, album. The album contained ten songs and a bonus DVD with music videos for five songs and the bonus track "Nattportiern". Sällskapets music is described as industrial, dystopian and with Kraftwerk influences. Jan Gradvall of Dagens Industri described it as what blues would have sounded like if it would have its roots in Ruhr instead of Memphis. Half the songs are completely instrumental.

On April 10, 2013, the band released their new album Nowy Port.
