FOLKSTORM(swe)

In the late seventies Björkk became aware of music recorded by bands such as Kiss. After this he began buying music on a regular basis, staying true to the metal scene throughout his early teens. His taste and thoughts changed when he heard the German band Kraftwerk with their electronic sound and cold drum rhythms. When he was 16 he bought a Roland SH-101 synthesiser and began working on music inspired by bands such as DAF and Front 242. This led to Björkk recording with friends producing what would later be the band Pouppee Fabrikk.

In 1988 Nordvargr became part of the influential black industrial combo Maschinenzimmer 412 (later Mz.412). The first album, Malfeitor, was released in 1989 on the Cold Meat Industry label. This first album was limited to seven hundred copies. Since then, he has systematically explored the broad field of post-industrial music scene, releasing solo records covering noise, power electronics, militant, dark ambient, drone, blackened noise, experimental and avant garde. In parallel to his band activities, he has pursued a solo career with a vast amount of record releases. He is widely considered one of the most influential and productive post-industrial artists ever. Some of his projects include MZ.412, All Hail The Transcending Ghost, Toroidh, Pouppee Fabrikk, Vargr, Goatvargr among others. 

He has collaborated with artists such as Merzbow, Beyond Sensory Experience, Drakh, Kenji Siratori, Arditi and many more.

Nordvargr’s early work was characterised by The Wire as „cultish Dark Ambient“, but became more experimental. He has made industrial music (Mz.412), and ambient black metal (Vargr).

FOLKSTORM started out as a martial industrial project of Henrik Nordvargr Björkk in 1999. Over the years it has progressed into a more refined beast, mixing punkish rhythmic noise with aggressive vocals. Folkstorms newest album „Folkpop“ will be released this year on Old Europa Cafe.

FOLKSTORM will perform exclusively at TOWER TRANSMISSIONS III.

IRON FIST OF THE SUN(uk)
Hailing originally from Druids Heath in Birmingham, Iron Fist of the Sun (IFOTS) is the current sonic project of extreme noise protagonist Lee Howard. Live power electronics, experimental sonic terrorism and Black Metal are all encompassed in an unforgiving soundtrack to your most brutal nightmares… just don’t dare call it “Art Noise”
Personal obsessions skewed by drug use, codes of behaviour observed by a misanthropic mind. Bitter and cold. Nihilistic and scornful. Elitist and Pure. Birmingham Nihilism!
IFOTS has benn releasing experimental power electronics and sharp, cold industrial via some of Europe’s most essential underground labels for many years. IFOTS will be bringing his distinctive approach, combining power electronics with electro-acoustic compositions, to his debut German show at Tower Transmissions III.
