PER WIBERG

“I’m a big music nerd,” says Per Wiberg. The Swedish multi-instrumentalist has done everything from prog to death metal, stoner to heavy blues with artists from Opeth and Arch Enemy to Kamchatka and Spiritual Beggars. With his third solo release, The Serpent’s Here, Wiberg gives vent to his progressive impulses, throwing in everything from two basses to freaky jazz breakdowns.

“I would like to think it’s an ongoing process,” he says about his developing sound. “You start out listening to music and playing music when you’re a kid, and then you build from there. The backpack gets bigger and bigger every year.”
