Some kind of musical dreamteam?
I’ve sort of grown up with, the awesomely productive, Peter Dolving and his projects (The Haunted, Bringthewarhome, Peter Dolving Band, Mary beats Jane, and so on, and so on…), mainly the Gothenburg death metal act The Haunted. A band I’ve seen numerous times through the years, most recently at the Emmaboda festival (a show which ended with Dolving throwing his clothes out in the audience, leaving the stage naked). But I can’t help feeling that me and The Haunted has grown apart, or rather: me and death metal has grown apart. So I get, kind of excited when, this morning, the scandinavian-music-news-blog Itsatrap, served me with following rumors.
Peter Dolving apparently is in the middle of a project, at the moment described as such: “some kind of NeurosisKentDiscoBowieStoner with LOTS of guitars”…
It is also said (in previous linked blogs) that this project involves (among others, I only mention the names I recognize):
Jesper Liveröd, who we know from such bands as Nasum, and more recently Burst (Burst is apparently going to call it quits after the upcoming transatlantic-tour).
Scott Reeder, from american stoner-rockers Kyuss.
This glorious mess is then produced and mixed by Fredrik Reinedahl. Who (I’ve, sadly, never heard about him) previously worked with Burst, and the fucking most incredible band ever: Abandon.
The project seems to be funded by Paypal-donations through various myspace-pages, so it might take a while to pull off, I figure. If I’ve had a job, I’d consider donating.

The last couple of weeks I’ve been looking into stories about black metal, Once upon a time in Norway. True norwegian black metal. Stuff like that. Fascinating stories about fascinating people in a fascinating culture..
Perhaps this is why I seem to have, pretty open heartedly, welcomed the following into my life and ipod.. And since no one seem to understand: I (yet again) felt the urge to write it of my chest (I’ve already tweeted it, facebooked it and told everyone I’ve met).
I was sitting, probably at home, browsing through my Google reader, when I came across a post from one of my favorite mp3-blogs. Gnaw their tongues is here described as “some kind of weird experimental black metal / noise hybrid thing, fucking EVIL music.”. A description which always gets my attention.
And this is truly evil music. I am not a person who is comfortable with phrases like: “good”, or: “evil”, but this music is evil. And it apparently poisons my mind.
It scares me, makes me feel uncomfortable and fascinates me.
Massive soundscapes, with what feels like, a constant layer of terrified (and terrifying!) screams and howls (at least it feels constant, or maybe just endless..). When there’s vocals, they’re distorted, harsh, in complete harmony with the rest of the horror unfolding. It may all sound like clichés (especially from me, king of exaggerations and temporal hypes), but I cannot stress the fact enough, that this is evil in it’s purest (audio)form. Horror. Darkness. The soundtrack to the end of the world, the musical theme of nightmares, it is fucking made out of serial killers! Quotes quoted from http://gnawtheirtongues.blogspot.com/: “The evilest sounding band in the history of music.”, “the aesthetic and general sense of utter misanthropy is abundantly clear”, “stab forth again and again until all the blood is spilt and total carnage is all that remains. Pure dread put to music.”.
Then, when it all comes to an end, I cannot think of anything else to do than to play it again… experience it again. And I feel sick. Awesome.
Hype of the week!

I’ve managed to follow three different twitter-feeds since I got my account. One of those being The mae shi. A group I learned to love during my days in the post office of Kortedala, with the office stereo.
So this is just in!:
