Project Information
The project was inspired by an old native American legend which is mentioned in Leonard Cohen's book 'Beautiful Losers' : "his name was Oscotarach - and his task was to remove the brains of trespassers, to prepare them for eternity".

Bandinfos

Skalpell
Project from Zürich (Switzerland) which roots in the so-called „Industrial Music“ of the early 1990ies. Skalpell have travelled far through the sub-styles of this genre: from harsh-noise walls to Dark Ambient with occasional quotes of popular musical elements. The project was founded in 1995 to transfer the anticipated reality into an adequate musical context. Skalpell is trying to project and dissect images from subconsciousness to an audible level. The band is reknown from their Mini-Clubhit “Wasserleiche” and from their highly successful album “In Between”.

Carsten Vollmer
Uncomprehensible dense and murderous squeechings, knockings, bone-sawings. A huge carpet of ant-like noises. Terms like beauty, asthetics or musical standards are simply ignored. There is no evidence that these thick layerings of eletronic, yelling sounds represent violence - this sound doesn't remind oneself of war. It rather resembles the everyday life in an inhumane industrial world. We are nothing but observers.
