 Oxiplegatz - Satan Stole My Teddybear
Alf Svensson certainly has the noblest of intentions and hopes, but execution of these things is still not quite gelling properly.
Granted, points are given to Alf for the sci-fi bent lyrics as I'm a bigger fan of Dan Simmons sci-fi than Robert Jordan fantasy.
Lyrically the album can't be beat; Svensson has an advanced command of the English language and a wonderfully creative mind (consider his artwork gracing the cover and layout).

Alf: I'm currently working on the next Oxiplegatz project, no title is yet decided, but it will be an album more or less consisting of one long piece of music.

Haegglund, 45, replaced Alf Svensson, who led the party for 31 years, the longest tenure of any party leader in the Scandinavian country.
Haegglund said many Swedes who share the party's views refrain from voting for its candidates because the party is seen as too closely tied to religion.
Svensson, 65, received several standing ovations as he gave his farewell speech at the party convention.

Alf Svensson is likely to become the best Prime Minister Sweden never got.
He is by a large part of the electorate seen as the most attractive Prime Minister candidate, but on the other hand he is leader of a party that will get only some ten per cent of the votes.
Mr Svensson - in spite of any weaknesses he might have - has in his fight for the Christian Democratic Party given a clear impact on Swedish politics for some thirty years.

One of the more melodic death metal bands to expand beyond Sweden and spread their sound across the world alongside peers such as Entombed, At the Gates played a significant role in the death metal genre before breaking up in 1996, leading to the formation of the Haunted.
The group's first line-up -- Tomas Lindberg (vocals), Anders Bjorler (guitars), Adrian Erlandsson (drums), Jonas Bjorler (bass), and Alf Svensson (guitars) -- formed in late 1990, recording the Gardens of Grief EP for the Dolores label.
In 1993, they replaced Svensson with Martin Larsson on guitar, released their second album, With Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkness, and toured the U.K. with Anathema and Cradle of Filth.

 Eudoxa: The wrong way to institute a DNA-register
The Swedish track record on privacy is not encouraging: it was the first country in the world to issue personal identification numbers, there are little or no legal limitations for the use of them and the government has its own agency selling comprehensive information about the citizens to any paying customer.
The Christian Democrat party leader, Alf Svensson, is just one in a long line of politicians preaching the benefits of a DNA register.
The Christian Democratic Party professes to be the protectors of virtue; Alf Svensson should make an ethic assessment of his own suggestion, rather than make vague assumptions.

 CoC : Oxiplegatz - Sidereal Journey : Review
Alf Svensson, former member of the legendary At the Gates, presents us with another epic opera of sci-fi metal.
As if this description wasn't strange enough, Svensson uses a very synthetic sounding drum machine and an unusual (and rather weak) guitar sound, together with plenty of strange rhythms, sounds and sequences.
Sara Svensson's varied and well performed vocals are what I find most interesting here, and she fortunately appears in just over half the tracks.

 Boston.com / News / World / Emotions run high as Swedes nix euro
The results countered some analysts' predictions that the stabbing death of Lindh would emotionally sway voters to adopt the currency used by 12 of the 15 European Union members.
"We have evidently not been able to firmly establish the European idea among the voters," said Alf Svensson, leader of the Christian Democrats and a euro supporter.
The Swedes' reputation for doing things their own way is probably responsible for the euro setback, said Ulrica Messing, minister for communications and regional policy.

 At The Gates
Formed in late 1990, the five piece recorded their 'Gardens of Grief' EP for the Dolores label, with a line up of Tomas Lindberg (vocals), Anders Bjorler (guitars), Adrian Erlandsson (drums), Jonas Bjorler (bass) and Alf Svensson (guitars).
Following prolonged Swedish touring with the likes of Dismember, Bolt Thrower, Massacre and Immolation, AT THE GATES attracted the attention of Peaceville Records and after signing soon produced their debut album titled 'The Red in the Sky is Ours'.
Replacing Alf with new guitarist Martin Larsson, they had by now built up a reputation for being a hard working touring act, and this was further enhanced by their debut UK show at Nottingham Rock City which was filmed for an MTV Headbangers special.

Poorly produced but full of spirit, The Red in the Sky is Ours was the first full-length recording for one of the great bands of the 90's and despite it's shortcomings in the sound department, it still stands as a brilliant piece of metal.
The At the Gates sound at this point in their evolution was built around the guitarwork of Anders Bjorler and Alf Svensson.
They wrote long, melodic riffs, often tremolo-picking harmony or counterpoint lines to create a sound that was skeletal and at time,s abstract.

 Catholic World News : Swedish Sterilization Program Ignites National Furor
The reports on the policy drew startling parallels to Nazi ideas of racial superiority, and it in fact stemmed from the pursuit of eugenics, a once-popular movement to improve humanity through control of genetic factors in reproduction.
Alf Svensson, leader of the Swedish Christian Peoples' Party, wrote in a letter to Prime Minister Goran Persson that a parliamentary commission should be established to shed light on the revelations.
"Terrifying facts are now being placed before the Swedish people about a sterilization law that permitted forced sterilization for such a long time," Svensson wrote.

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN - Swedish voters decided Sunday to reject the euro and keep using their own currency, the krona.
"People still seem to believe that we live in a Europe with national borders and national currency, but the reality is something else," said Christian Democrat Leader Alf Svensson, a euro backer.
The result ran counter to recent opinion polls, which had shown support for the euro, and to the sympathy vote that was expected to swing Swedes towards the currency used by 12 of 15 European Union members.

Though the ensuing musical growth was not necessarily apparent in their earliest material, songs like “Stealing the Fire From Heaven” still stand as powerful testaments of metallic melancholia.
Later that year the band’s first line-up solidified, consisting of Kristian Wåhlin (vocals/guitar), Johan Österberg (guitar), Alf Svensson (bass, ex-AT THE GATES) and Daniel Erlandsson (drums, Eucharist), but by the beginning of the following year both Daniel and Alf would depart due to other pressing commitments.
After a few months of inactivity, the band resurfaced with a powerful new line-up consisting of Kristian, Johan and new blood Bino Carlsson (bass) and Hans Nilsson (drums).

 Computer Graphics World - Economy of Scale
However, the MindArk team, which consisted of a mere nine people at the height of development a year ago, today sits at five: one concept artist, one user interface/visual effects artist, two 3D artists who build static objects and environments, and one art director/animator, Alf Svensson, who creates the animation and oversees the team.
The greatest artistic challenge for the MindArk team was creating a sufficient number of diverse environments and creatures to entice players to invest time exploring the entire world.
In fact, by taking this approach, MindArk has not only achieved different looks for its game environments and non-player characters (such as animals and monsters), but also devised a system for creating avatars (personal, playable characters) and a unique "real-world economy," which set Project Entropia apart from other MMORPGs.

The Social Democratic-led Swedish government proposed the law after a parliamentary research committee found that gay couples would have the same ability to care for the children.
Alf Svensson, the leader of the opposition Christian Democrats, had appealed to lawmakers to "make sure that adopted children will be spared experiencing something that every child should be guaranteed not having to experience, that of having only two fathers or only two mothers."
Gay activists applauded the bill, saying it will bring them closer to gaining the full benefits of marriage.
