Fuzz-science fiction rockers Skraeckoedlan are set to do a international release of their debut album 'Äppelträdet' (The Apple Tree). Äppelträdet was recorded in 2010, in Truckfighters' Studio Bombshelter. Originally released in Sweden 2011. Skraeckoedlan's debut album 'Äppelträdet' will once again see the light of day, when it returns on CD with the original artwork. Äppelträdet' have been a hard gem to find. The release is now available for the first time ever world wide. Also emerging anew are Skraeckoedlan themselves. While still singing in their native tongue, telling stories about mythological beings and cosmic wonders, having just come out of hiatus the band recently made the transition from quartet to trio. The as of now three-piece shares the following words concerning the reprint: "The reissue of Äppelträdet is, in a somewhat allegorical sense, a celebration of what has been and to a certain extent of what still is, but it also serves as a kind of bridge to what will be. These are our roots and they grow deep."

Track Listing

Press Quotes

An album deserving to be part of stoner metal history and worthy to be released twice.

     —GRIMM Gent, https://www.grimmgent.com/skraeckoedlan-appeltrade

Sweden's Skraeckoedlan were really just kids when they made their debut in 2011 with Äppelträdet. Kids who kicked ass.

     —The Obelisk, http://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2018/08/07/skraeckoe

Skraeckoedlan and 'Äppelträdet' are good for those who enjoys the echoes of the 1970s.

     —Metal Addicts, http://metaladdicts.com/site/skraeckoedlan-appeltr

Dieser internationale Release des Debüts schenkt der Platte noch einmal die verdiente Aufmerksamkeit. Ein Album, an dem man sich nicht satt hören kann...

     —Burn Your Ears webzine, https://www.burnyourears.de/reviews/alben/stoner-r

...if you don't like this one, then perhaps rock music just isn't your thing.

     —Heavy Planet, http://www.heavyplanet.net/2011/09/album-review-sk

The extinction of dinosaurus is now questionable. We are witnesses that they still work the ground up there in Sweden and judging by everything, their future is bright.

     —Prog Sphere, http://www.prog-sphere.com/reviews/skraeckoedlan-a

[Guitarists] Henrik Gruttner & Robert Lamu have put together some mammoth riffs here, none the more monstrous than on the instrumental title track, as the two, along with bassist Tim Angstrom, really churn out some serious bottom end.

     —Sea of tranquility, https://www.seaoftranquility.org/reviews.php?op=sh

Not kidding when I say it's one of the best albums of 2011.

     —More Fuzz, https://morefuzz.net/reviews/skraeckoedlan-sagor/

Skraeckoedlan is not just another Sweden stoner band. Nothing new...but something special.

     —The Soda Shop, https://thesodashop.wordpress.com/2011/05/31/revie

„Äppelträdet' vereint alles, was man braucht, um ein schmackhaftes und schwungvolles Stoner-Rock-Album zu kreieren.
