Bushmen's Revenge are an incandescent norwegian power trio of: Even Helte Hermansen (guitar), Rune Nergaard (bass) Gard Nilssen (drums).
"Lovers of unhinged noise though we are, we must confess that Norwegian guitarist Even Helte Hermansen..s band Shining once drove us from a venue in a panic, so chaotic were their prog-fusion eruptions. This trio are a very different, thrillingly physical prospect, plying a skilfully attenuated blend of freeform jazz, psych rock and extreme metal, that..s equally respectful of Sonic Youth, Albert Ayler, Black Sabbath, Grisey and Zappa. More importantly, they kick ass." Time Out
"Another healthy dose of Scandinavian jazz/improv from the reliable Rune Grammofon. Bushman's Revenge are three young lads on guitar, bass and drums who drop the usual overused names of Black Sabbath and Albert Ayler but manage to trascend influences with an overheated, paint-peeling onslaught of their own." Plan B
The Trumpets of Death are: Karl D'Silva (alto saxophone, clarinet), Alastair Neilson (percussion), Laura Parsons (keyboard, voice, percussion), Ben Wetherill (voice, guitar, clarinet, keyboard).
"Benjamin Wetherill, playing with the Trumpets of Death, steps right out of the ordinary immediately, treading a fine line between madness and marvel. His tremoringly intense persona is drowned beneath drones, scattered rhythms and quite inhumane saxophone playing, and takes persistence to follow. Constantly sinister, crawling and depraved jazz harmony...Wetherill pummels his chromatic freak folk with real meaning, and baffling energy." The Skinny
