Brighter Death Now
While the project has never compromised its original vision, it is fair to say Brighter Death Now has evolved into one of the few bands upholding the black flag of industrial music. True to his roots – Roger Karmanik is still living in accordance with the only law he can follow. The NO rule. While people should be seriously more worried about the grumpy old nihilist. Nothing left to lose or to gain. His bare and tarnished feet continues the one-man funeral procession through the cold and desolate Nordic landscape. His back against the world.
7 years since the last album, this new full length is yet one of the ultimate albums from someone who has been around since before most were even born and he will cling on with nails and teeth until the last of us have given up or surrendered. This is bad news for all of us.
raison d'être
raison d'être (Sweden) formed in 1991 as a tool of expression with the goal of self-realization. Behind the project is the highly respected and multi-talented sound artist Peter Andersson. For almost three decades now, with a vast number of album releases, raison d'être has been creating music with overwhelming dark ambient drone industrial qualities that left marks on most listeners. In recent years Andersson works mainly with field recordings and acoustic instruments like gongs, cymbals, bells, flutes, piano, various metal plates and string instruments; recorded and manipulated in the digital domain to make the sounds unique and perfected. Raison d’être have become the pinnacle in the dark ambient field and one of the most famous, respected, and influential artists within the genre. A majority of the raison d’être albums were released on the Swedish legendary Cold Meat industry label. 'The Empty Hollow Unfolds' album was voted as the single best release in the history of Cold Meat Industry, making it an important milestone and point of reference. Recently Peter Andersson received a recognition award from the state authority The Swedish Arts Grants Committee for his music achievement. Experiencing raison d'être is like diving into the obscure hidden domains of one’s inner self. Whether it is like a good dream, or a nightmare is up to you. But this is not all. Peter Andersson host not only one but up to ten other projects representing different sides and sounds of the Andersson character. The most well-known except for raison d'être being Stratvm Terror, Necrophorus, Bocksholm and Atomine Elektrine.
Desiderii Marginis
Desiderii Marginis has been at the very forefront of dark ambient music for almost 30 years. Ever since its inception in 1993 and the first appearance on the legendary swedish Cold Meat Industry label in 1995 Johan Levin, the sole member, has been exploring and refining his universe of profoundly dark, yet deeply emotional and evokatively dreamlike soundscapes. The catalogue of Desiderii Marginis spans over twelve albums and represents a consistently atmospheric and intimate body of work, meticulously crafted using a wide variety of sound sources - from analogue to digital electronics, field recordings, found sounds and acoustic instruments. The focal point of Desiderii Marginis music lies right at the intersection between inner and outer ambience, nature and human nature, and their ever fascinating, constant interactions.
