27 August 2010: So I have been trying to get some stuff online after virb.com decided to become a commercial mess (fuck it). I have decided to upload
experiments and soundclips on Soundcloud. I also sometimes Twitter nonsense, look for @nrdvrgr.
22 August 2010: Vacation... from work that is. Not from music. Been busy doing remixes and collaborations with Surachai, New Risen Throne, MB just to mention
a few. Also still waiting for the Goatvargr album to arrive from Cold Spring - that CD has suffered a lot of delays due to printing issues etc.
Now it is time for some real vacation away from e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. See you in September.
15 June 2010: Been spending months on remastering the old MZ. 412 albums, the results are fantastic. The "relaunch" on Cold Spring will be massive.
Better sound, new and old restored tracks, alternative takes... in a way you could say that the albums finally have been completed - these versions are
THEE ultimate statement. When buying a MZ. 412 remaster you are not just buying a better sounding version of the same old album, you are buying a new and completed album.
Massive updates on my studio has been made over the winter. New toys = new music.
The collab CD with Surachai has been released by OEC. A great mix of my dark brand of ambience combined with Surachai´s wierd electronics.
The second Goatvargr CD will be out any day on Cold Spring, a bit more rythmic than the first one, but still a gritty and noisy animal.
A new Toroidh + Arditi collaboration is also in the works... (as well as reissues of the first collab on Neuropa)
The first 205 Recordings release that is not directly linked to me will be released during the autumn - news will follow shortly!
21 April 2010: A big thanks to The Harvestman and Crowphonics for endorsing me.
15 April 2010: Here is a one hour radioshow/podcast focusing on my work.
Also, finally some good old vinyl has been released - Column One/IDPA/MZ. 412 LP on Tourette and Armatus/Vargr 7" on Werewolf... go get them.
5 April: Due to heavy demand I have decided to do another small run of "Interstellar 2 High End Version" in 100 copies. This one is enhanced with a
bonus track, other than that it is identical to the first pressing. Look out for "Interstellar 2+", only at my royal suppliers OEC or Malignant in a few weeks!
21 March 2010: Finally back on my legs after some annoying flu crap... if you have sent an email and havent heard back, now you know why.
Coming soon:

17 March 2010: American artist Bridget Driessen is currently putting the final touches to
the artwork for the forthcoming Nordvargr/Surachai album.
1 March 2010: Been working all February with the MZ. 412 remasters that will be out on Cold Spring later this year.
We have been browsing through hours of old DAT-tapes for different versions and unreleased materials, and I promise that these
remastered, redesigned and improved versions will be packed with bonus materials.
The split Vargr/Armatus 7" will probably be released soon, true underground style, on Werewolf... I guess April.
Also, the limited Nordvargr boxset (3x3" or whatever it will end up becoming) "The walls are closing in" on Small Doses is about to
go into production. Expect a one hour long harsh assault of noise/ambient/walls. Will also include a Vomir cover.
The spring looks very grim this year.

26 January 2010: Go to the 205 Recordings section of this website and behold... a new 205 Recordings release is coming soon!
I will ship the bulk of copies to distros (Malignant, OEC, Tesco and hopefully a few more), so happy shopping.
21 January 2010: Lots of stuff happening here, but I choose to be silent and mysterious about the major things...
The new Goatvargr CD should be sent to the pressingplant during the spring. "The wolf instinctively hunts through the frost,
and the goat is blamed for human transgressions, yet during the Black Snow Epoch, the true hunters will pursue!"
The recordings of the forthcoming ultralimited Nordvargr release "A wilderness of Cloades" (OEC) is still ongoing.
Surachai´s involvement in these recordings has been quite extensive which has made it a very special thing... stay tuned
for more info on this topic as things progress (hmmm...wooden box...yes)
Mr Ekholm has decided that he has no time to become a rockstar and has decided to pursue new opportunities, and thus quits
his involvement in Resignation. That leaves only me left as soul survivor... On the bright side of things though; a new album
has been recorded and is now finished and ready to unleash. The style is very similar to the first album "1897", but it has
more rythmic additions and might be considered a little bit more accessible. More info on when/how/where later.
