After playing an eclectic range of music in a variety of forgettable bands for more than a decade, Torsten Edwinson and Mattias Westin joined forces to form a psychedelic trance duo, Masada, in 1999. In an attempt to describe their music, alt-rock magazine, Ward 42 wrote, "thumping, resonant, booming, fast, smooth, ker-plow! (a Batman ker-plow! no less), dance, sweat, hot, movement". ~ Craig Harris
