Two interesting recent releases on Malignant Records by Des Esseintes and Kristoffer Nyströms Orkester.
Mondo Macabro collects all Des Esseintes vinyl releases and 3 unreleased tracks. 12 tracks in total, spanning the Muse (2000) and On/Off (2002) 7”s, the split LP with Magmax (2001), and the split 10” (2001) with Negru Voda.
Brakehead is the end result of a post-gig improvisational get together last Summer. Kristoffer Nyströms Orkester (KNO) is a collaborative project between Peter Nyström (Megaptera/Negru Voda) and Kristoffer Oustad (V:28).
