Magtens Korridorer

About

Magtens Korridorer are a Danish rock band formed in Copenhagen in 1995 by students at the University of Copenhagen. The five-piece - fronted by Johan Olsen alongside guitarists Rasmus Kern and Niklas Schneidermann, bassist Terkel Møhl and drummer Anders Ramhede - built their reputation on sharp, poetic lyrics and a sound that mixes melodic rock with post-punk. Their 2005 platinum album Friværdi broke them into the mainstream, and they have since been a consistent presence in the Danish Top Five.
