1349 Rykkinn

Norwegian black metal band

Few people can with more authority than Bård Torgersen claim to have been one of the real innovators of the Norwegian electronic music scene. Starting back in 1983 and ending in 1996, Torgersen spent over 12 years in the service of providing people with homemade bass and thunder, releasing a string of critically acclaimed albums, touring Norway and abroad with groups such as Nemlig Hemlig, Masters of Møh, SUPERskill and Lord Bård. In 1996 Torgersen left the scene due to a heavy depression. He went traveling around the world, bringing along a mini-disc and video camera. He collected a huge mass of images and sounds, resulting, inter alia, in the release of «Brown Ring of Fury».
