In addition to their work as a group, the three members-Axwell, Steve Angello, and Sebastian Ingrosso-have also worked as DJs and producers in their own right such they will be doing again now that they have separated. A musical trio who actually formed in 2005, Swedish House Mafia had international dance hits with songs like "One," "Save the World," "Greyhound," and their parting shot, "Don't You Worry Child," which went #1 in three countries and charted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #6 in the U.S.
Even LCD Soundsystem, whose Shut Up and Play the Hits had a similar eulogizing tone, managed to pull off more than that.īut here we are, faced with Leave the World Behind, a document of Swedish House Mafia's fifty-date world tour to lay their musical endeavor to rest. They released their first single in 2010, never really made a proper album, and basically only toured one other time before their farewell in 20. While, yes, superstars in their own genre and celebrated globally for their various singles, Swedish House Mafia operated in a very small window of time. 'm going to tread lightly here because I don't want my inbox blowing up from angry electronic music fans, but it's weird watching a celebratory farewell movie about a band who, in the grand scheme of things, is barely a blip on the radar.
Behind all the glamour and fame, Swedish House Mafia has a story to tell: come March, we will be eagerly ready to see how it all unfolded. Taking to their twitter to announce the premiere of the full documentary at SXSW, the Mafia will return for a brief moment as fans will have the opportunity at an inside look at their convoluted, breathtaking, grand climb to the top. A sadly sweet composition of “Leave This World Behind” plays as Ultra’s main stage fireworks burst into Miami’s night sky, and Swedish House Mafia says goodbye. The trailer brings goosebumps as “One” accentuates footage of the rock star lifestyle, and takes a turn for the somber as footage captures the three best friends being torn to pieces by the very same lifestyle. Arousing rumors, excitement, and nostalgia all at once, Clip One brought back a rush of emotion for fans all over the world. In October of 2013, just as it seemed the dust had been settled, a trailer for the tell-all documentary of the trio’s journey through unfathomable super-stardom surfaced. However, closure for fans is just around the corner: Swedish House Mafia has announced that their documentary Leave This World Behind will premiere in March at this year’s SXSW in Austin.
Closing out last year’s Ultra Music Festival, the world said goodbye to The Mafia, who left behind a legacy much larger than life. Since Swedish House Mafia parted ways in March of 2013, the heartbreaking void where the three modern day rock stars once stood together has not been filled.
The holy trinity will officially leave this world behind come March.
