There are 4 bands named Madrigal

1) Madrigal was founded in 1998 in Gothenburg, Sweden. They were teenagers back in those days and played in different local bands. They started rehearsing and a year later they won a new bands competition. The first prize was to enter a studio and record a demo. The demo was sent out to mp3.com and it was really successful. They were number 3 in the Gothic chart ahead of bands like Lacuna Coil and Moonspell.

In early 2000 Madrigal had the chance to open up a show for In Flames in Gothenburg. They received a great response and In Flames Singer Anders Friden was very impressed with the band. He invited them to the Studio Fredman (which he owns) to record their debut album „I Die, You Soar“.

Anders played the demos to the Nuclear Blast A&R´s - In Flames record company – who thought that Madrigal was a newcomerband that deserved a deal! So the story began...

2) Madrigal was an obscure psychedelic and experimental rock band from New York City, active in the late-1960s and early-1970s. Little is known about the band and its two members. Their only release was a 1971 self-titled album (Spyder 136), of which only 50 copies were pressed. Their sound has been described as similiar to the fugs, and as a cross between Suicide, Moolah and the Index.
3) Madrigal was also an even more obsure British folk band formed in 1973. They released an album entitled Beneath the Greenwood Tree.
4) Madrigal Canadian psychedelic pop band who released the album "Sunshine & Baked Beans" in 1970
