Thus, this reissue is the first activity of the duo for almost ten years, we can speak about conditional activity since the re-release contains also exclusive material.

    «Massive and ugly-gloomy landscapes of the true atmosphere of black metal from the founders of the already legendary Swedish industrial scene. The ghouls, groans, and voices of the united forces of death trapped in the underground cells of Bohult. Attention – this can be dangerous for your health! No jokes, no hopes …

    Nordvargr ‎– The Secret Barbarous Names


    Nordvargr ‎– The Secret Barbarous Names
    Label: Malignant Records ‎– TUMORCD102
    Format: CD, EP, Reissue
    Country: US
    Released: 20 Jan 2017
    Style: Dark Ambient

    Active since the late ‘80s as a member of MZ.412 and Pouppée Fabrikk, few names within the realm of dark industrial and blackened ambient carry more weight and presence than Sweden’s mighty Nordvargr. Though side projects Muskel and Körperwelten have been released on Malignant, The Secret Barbarous Names is the first solo recording done for the label, and Nordvargr’s first physical release since 2013’s The Dromopoda Transmissions on Old Europa Café.

    A vocal based work inspired by the Draconian and Typhonian traditions, the title refers to the hidden meanings of the countless manuscripts that have been kept secret for millennia – their supposed effectiveness resting in their utterance, not their meaning. The words of power, vibrated at the correct frequency and amplitude in the correct setting and time, have the power to manifest anything. As such, these are an incredibly haunting and formidable invocations, built upon richly timbered, incantatory vocals and deep, liturgical chants, and occasionally augmented by ominous orchestral swell and ritual percussion. All of it is endlessly stretched out into lightless passages of primordial malevolence and suffocating dread, completing an album that will stand out as a highlight, even within such a lofty and illustrious discography as Nordvargr’s. Lavishly packaged in a digipak designed by Margaux Renaudin (Anima Nostra).

    Kongo – Blubber


    Kongo – Blubber
    Label: Ur Muzik ‎– UR010
    Format: CD, Album
    Country: Poland
    Released: 22 Dec 2016
    Style: Industrial, Experimental

    Henrik Nordvargr Björkk and Peter Nyström are both well known figures in the realm of dark soundscapes. They have been providing their obscure sonorities for decades now and each new release by either of the two legendary artists is an awaited treat. With their new project KONGO, Björkk and Nyström set off on a journey where they delve deep into early industrial music: using cut-up technique, processing speech samples, looping distorted melodies and making Blubber the ultimate homage to Severed Heads and Cabaret Voltaire’s works. It’s hectic, obsessive, and crazy. And it’s got that punk feel to it – a perfect soundtrack to the fucked-up world we are living in. Comes with an amazing artwork by Kellerman Design in a digipack edition of 300 copies.
