Anders and Mattias met in 1996 when the band Vacuum recorded their first album "The Plutonium Cathedral". They work out of their studio "Home" situated in central Stockholm, Sweden but are constantly on the move to wherever their work takes them.
In 04 Vacuum released the album "Your Whole Life Is Leading Up To This". It was followed by two singles "Six Billion Voices" in 06 and "Walk On The Sun" in 07. Due to high demand as song-writers, Vacuum the band is only active from time to time. The band still enjoys a huge fan-following.

History (unofficial version)
The group was formed in 1996 by Alexander Bard and Anders Wollbeck.
The history of the group can be divided into two distinct parts: before the departure of the group's leader Alexander Bard in 1999 and after his departure, since which the singer Mattias Lindblom has become the group's new leader. The first two full albums of 1997 and 1998 were characterized by classical music influences and socially-, politically- and even astronomically-themed lyrics, which are very unusual for synth pop music; the 2004 album "Your Whole Life Is Leading Up to This", written by Wollbeck/Lindblom, steered away from synth pop to trance/techno and personal lyrics dealing with love and the meaning of life.

Vacuum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In search of my reality
To write a page in history
Centuries live in me.
I walk and breathe nostalgia
A prisoner of time
I do, yes I do
Show me your paradise
Reside up high my paradise
Memoirs I do
The spear of destination
A classy colonnade
My path to contemplation
The monument I made
The glass I drank was shattered
The wound has left a scar
I pass my dream in silence
My sunset boulevard
I've been around the world
In search of my reality
I sign my page in history
Memoirs I do
Leave me to pray the past
I contemplate the role I cast
And meditate the play to last
Future plans progress fast
The nation that I dreamed
Of a prophecy came true
The culture that I leaned
On replaced by something new
I leave the past behind me
Emotional divorce
The future is my saviour
A magic tour de force
The lyrics of Vacuum's song "Prussia" describe the emotional journey of the singer as he reminisces about his past experiences and searches for his own reality. He has traveled the world in search of something that is authentic and written a page in history that will be remembered for centuries. However, he feels trapped in his own nostalgia and is a prisoner of time.
The lyrics also suggest the singer's longing for paradise, which he keeps hidden behind the disguise of his persona. He has created a monument to his contemplation, which is represented by a classy colonnade. However, the glass he drank was shattered, leaving a scar that he passes in silence. His sunset boulevard represents his journey towards the end of his life, which he contemplates with a mixture of reflection and melancholy.
The lyrics also suggest that the singer is moving towards a new phase in his life, with future plans progressing fast. The nation and culture that he once dreamed of have been replaced by something new, and he must leave the past behind and undergo an emotional divorce. However, he is optimistic about the future, which he sees as a magic tour de force.
