Flax (2)

Norwegian Hard Prog Rock Band from Oslo. Flax were formed in 1971, a seven piece, which included a horn section. Soon they become a quintet. Flax disbanded in 1975, some months before their debut album was released, but a new line-up appeared in 1978. The resulting “Flax Tapes” (1980) showed some musical improvement, but was indeed closer in content to heavy rock than to progressive rock. Disbanded definitely in mid-80s.
