I only stumbled across The Skull Defekts around 6 months ago when I discovered their split with Wolf Eyes. This week they make an appearance on the mighty fine Riot Season imprint with their brand of black drone. They've had stuff out on Utech, AA and Conspiracy. 'The Black Hand' is dark experiments in feedback, drone and electronics. LP only and the first in a series of 3...

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

The Black Hand is the first part of a trilogy on black vinyl investigating the power of deep drone and extreme sound and the beast that is creativity and sound.
The Skull Defekts were for this recording Henrik Rylander on no-input mixing desk and feedback units and Joachim Nordwall on Drone Machine and effects. Cover design by infamous artist Fredrik Söderberg.
The Skull Defekts was formed by Henrik Rylander and Joachim Nordwall in early 2005 . Rylander had been
experimenting with feedback for a few years after the death of the infamous Swedish garage rock outfit Union
Carbide Productions where he was the pulse, rhythm and founding member.
Quickly they teamed up with legend Jean-Louis Huhta who’s been a key character in the Swedish underground music scene since the mid 80’s, and the quartet was complete when Daniel Fagerström joined after Eric Olofsson left the band after the recording of Blood Spirits & Drums Are Singing (Conspiracy Records).
