DEADWOOD

SUPREMATISM, SYMBOLISM, BLACK INDUSTRIAL, EXTREME BLACK METAL, DARK AMBIENT, NOISE

Daniel Jansson. Deadwood is a one man project that was created in 2003 under the name Deadwood Murder, its only purpose was/is to satisfy my lust for raw and filthy black industrial music. It has been a slow process with the re-making of several songs and no vocals recorded until summer 2004. A demo was made and sent out to several labels, the response was excellent. That same summer a split tape with black metal band blodulv called The Havoc We Seek was released on the French BM label Forgotten Wisdom productions. And a few weeks later Cold Spring records agreed to release the first full length deadwood album named "8 19".

DRAKH / DRAKHON

ABSTRACT SYMBOLISM, BLACK AMBIENT INDUSTRIAL, NOISE

Drakh started his musical career back in 1995 when the classical Swedish industrial outfit Machinenzimmer 412 was reformed as MZ.412 and the concept of true black industrial created. During his musical journey he has explored several different ways of musical expressions and constantly changing boundaries and challenge clichés within the scene. This has e.g. resulted in releases like Symmetrical Sodomy (as Sublime Musing), The third power of Alfta (as Al-Wahaar Dhin) and Psychoacoustics (as L/A/B together with Henrik N Björk and Petri Laukka). In 2001 he teamed up with scientist/artist K.Meizter and started the duo Beyond Sensory Experience who instantly set out to explore and change the musical universe of dark ambient. Together with his fellow MZ.412 colleague Henrik N Björk he also form the duo Nordvargr/Drakh who has released several albums of cold, dark and desolate ambient with profound guitar work.
