“In 1987, Roger Karmanik – a veteran musician of the Swedish industrial scene – founded Cold Meat Industry. Over the next decade, the label grew from a bedroom passion project into a world-renowned record company. Whilst CMI grew exponentially, Karmanik’s underground mindset and work methods remained largely unchanged. Plagued by setbacks in both his personal and professional life – as well as deteriorating mental health – Roger Karmanik eventually hit a wall. CMI was declared bankrupt in 2011. Then, thirty years after its conception, people from over 40 different countries gathered in Stockholm to celebrate the label’s anniversary – and something unexpected ensued.”
Grymt bra jobbat av Claudio (Marino) och andra inblandade. Dokumentären var ruskigt bra och intressant även för dom som inte var där när det begav sig (som jag). Visste inte så mycket om denna scen förräns jag hamnade på Cold Meat 30 års kalas 2017. Mortiis kände jag nog till och var ett stort fan av Karjalan Sissit från Eskilstuna men det var det, typ.
Förutom Roger K. själv och Claudio så är det en hel del intressanta inblandade som har jobbat med detta projekt som Vlad (Death Disco), Bardo Methodology Niklas och Mattias Indy Pettersson. Dom syns inte mer än i credsen (vad jag minns) men har en stor betydelse för produktionen. M. från MGLA och Erik WATAIN dyker upp i intervjuerna tillsammans med en massa CMI artister. Själv har jag bidragit med några foton inbakade här och var i filmen. Efter visningen blev det Q & A på scenen med Ika Johannesson som frågade ut Claudio & Roger.
“In Slaughter Natives (created by Jouni Havukainen) is the pioneer band in the symphonic industrial field. Their music is a mix of heavy electronics, martial percussions, religious chants, orchestral samples and gruesome demonic vocals. After releasing some great albums on Cold Meat Industry and Staalplaat, the project remained dormant since many years but kept getting on stage from time to time”
“Raison d’être is a Swedish dark ambient project formed by Peter Andersson. The name of the band was taken from a sentence in a book by Carl Gustav Jung: “the individuation is the raison d’être of the self”. Dark ambient atmospheres, drone elements, industrial sounds, ecclesiastical hymns are all blended together to constitute the music of Raison d’être.”
“Maschinenzimmer 412 (currently known as Mz.412) are the inventors of the so called “black industrial”, a dark and haunting music which mixes industrial noise, ritual ambient and black metal atmospheres. The mastermind behind the project is Henrik “Nordvargr” Björkk (often credited as Kremator), aided by different people with each release.”
A fire alarm cut the performance short after about 14 min´s.
ORE about the latest release (May 2022) “In a world where the idea of hero and tyrant never has been more urgent. In a world where disinformation has become the new gospel. In times where the concept of good and evil is colored by crayons in various shades of grey. Nihilist Notes kindles the last fires of hope and takes us on a perpetual quest 4 meaning in nothing.”
Ina (Attera Nox) collaborated with ORE before but never seen her on stage. Just magnificent!:D
“Sephiroth was created in the year 1990 by Ulf Söderberg, through a genuine and burning interest for myths, rituals, and enigmatic monuments and places erected by mankind itself. Influenced by Graeme Revell, Lustmord and Nurse With Wound, Sephiroth relate stories about the inexorable and destructive power of Time, mankind’s futile attempts of resistance, and the sunken cities, fallen towers, and overgrown ruins that this has resulted in. Dark eerie soundscapes and ritualistic drums are combined with own field recordings from places like Cairo, Iceland and gloomy Nordic forests. ”
“There´s a big gap between what exist and what possibly could….. Deutsch Nepal try to fill that gap by concidering what is true, what is pure and possible. With an conviction of the purity of it´s own distorted creation Deutsch Nepal twist the truth and turn the impossible into a reality existing only inside your head. Never mind this statement …. mind the gap!” – Deutsch Nepal (Official)
**The name “Deutsch Nepal” is derived from the track of the same name released in 1972 by German krautrock legend Amon Düül II. **Lina Der Baby Doll General is an alias for Peter Andersson **Lina, along with Brighter Death Now’s Roger Karmanik co-founded the label Cold Meat Industry.
Sista spelningen ever med Deutsch Nepal?? Verkade så:/
“Nilsen become interested in experimental music at an early age, creating his first solo project, Morthond, at just 15, while playing guitar and bass in local bands. His first album, Death Time, was a cassette released on Sound Source, the now defunct debut-only sub-label of Sweden’s Cold Meat Industries, in 1991. Parent label Cold Meat Industries, one of the oldest experimental music labels in Sweden, released Nilsen’s next missive, The Crying Game, on CD the same year. In 1992 Nilsen changed the spelling of his moniker to Morthound and recorded two more albums for the label, Spindrift (1992) and The Goddess Who Could Make The Ugly World Beautiful (1994).” – tunedcity.net
