Acclaimed Swedish metallers GARDENIAN reunited for a one-off concert last night (Saturday, January 5) at the inaugural edition of the Gothenburg Sound Festival at Trädgår'n in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Fan-filmed video footage of the "Ecstasy Of Life" performance from the 1999 album "Soulburner" can be seen below.

The double-CD reissue of GARDENIAN's "Soulburner" and "Sindustries" (2000) albums came out in February 2008 via Metal Mind Productions. The limited-edition digipack release (limited to 2,000 copies) was made available on golden disc, digitally remastered using 24-bit technology.

GARDENIAN was yet another spawn of the Swedish metal community, but unlike many other bands from the Gothenburg region, they managed to stand up to the fathers of the genre and deliver a huge dose of solid melodic death metal, at the same time presenting a sound of their own.

The two GARDENIAN albums that were originally released through Nuclear Blast — "Soulburner" and "Sindustries" — received an impressive number of positive reviews over the years, but GARDENIAN sadly never managed to get the acclaim it deserved, resulting in the band's breakup in 2004.

GARDENIAN is:

Jim Kjell - Vocals, Guitar
Niklas Engelin - Guitar
Thim Blom - Drums
Håkan Skoger - Bass
