The Quill are a Swedish stoner rock/heavy metal band. The Quill was formed in the early 1990s by singer Magnus Ekwall, guitarist Christian Carlsson, drummer George Atlagic, organist Anders Haglund
and bassist Peter Holm.
The Quill played the Swedish barcircuit the
following years. Peter Holm left the band at the end of 1993 and was
replaced by Roger Nilsson. After writing material for half a year they entered Berno studio in Malmö and recorded their self titled debut The Quill in three weeks. The Quill are often referred to as a stoner rock and stoner metal band but they can also be regarded as a heavy metal band. They are influenced by late 1960s and early 1970s bands such as Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, but also sound like 1990s grunge and stoner metal bands such as Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Monster Magnet, Kyuss and Corrosion of Conformity. Especially vocalist Magnus Ekwall who is often compared to Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell. The official The Quill MySpace states they sound like "groovy hard/heavy rock".
