In the mid-seventies, some of the Scandinavian groups developed their own brand of poetic progressive rock, using their native tongue. Among these were Trettioåriga Kriget, Saga, Kaipa, Bättre Lyss, Høst (who were Norwegian) and Blåkulla, a group from the Gothenburg area. Their music had a very enthusiastic and heartfelt approach with loud guitars and organ, somewhere between Junipher Greene (1971) and early Deep Purple. Some of Blåkulla's lyrics were written by Swedish poets and sung in a high-pitched, earnest voice by Dennis Lindegren.
