Nordvargr

In the late seventies Björkk became aware of music recorded by bands such as Kiss.[3] After this he began buying music regularly, staying true to the metal scene throughout his early teens.[3] His taste and thoughts changed when he heard the German band Kraftwerk with their electronic sound and cold drum rhythms.[3] When he was 16 he bought a Roland SH-101 synthesiser and began working on music inspired by bands such as DAF and Front 242.[3] This led to Björkk recording with friends producing what would later be the band Pouppée Fabrikk.[3]

In 1988 Nordvargr became part of the influential black industrial combo Maschinenzimmer 412 (later Mz.412).[2] The first album, Malfeitor, was released 1989 on the Cold Meat Industry label. This first album was limited to seven hundred copies.[4] Since then, he has systematically explored the broad field of post-industrial music, releasing solo records covering noise, power electronics, militant, dark ambient, drone, blackened noise, experimental and avant-garde. He has pursued a solo career with many record releases in parallel to his band activities, .

In 2009 Nordvargr collaborated with Tim Bertilsson to produce the new project titled All Hail The Transcending Ghost. The album of the same name was released by Cold Spring.[1]
