Chances are you've never heard of Ingen Vag. I myself had never heard of this tiny Swedish label until very recently, but this DIY imprint has put out a really cool mix of

minimal black drone and mutated death rock alongside more abstract, experimental sounds that I got a chance to explore a bit for the shop. All of the stuff that I've gotten

from Ingen Vag is now out of print from the label, so you'll want to take note of that fact if any of this stuff does happen to pique your interest...

The Snittet tape comes from an obscure, minimal blackened synth-drone project from Rickard Daun, a member of the Swedish psych-rock band Flowers Must

Die and the experimental psychdrone duo Fria Konstellationen. With Gaerra, Daun scrapes away just about everything from his dark industrial drone-music but a pulsating

radioactive core, and the resulting minimal black drone ends up inhabiting the same delirious terror-zone as the best minimalist horror film scores. This tape features a single

twenty minute track that's spread across two sides of the cassette; the first side of Snittet begins with a murky haze of layered warbling synth drones and

ominous looped machine noise that gives off an older industrial feel, akin to early SPK and Bianchi with it's simple, repetitive form centered around a central high pitched

feedback drone, and the utterly claustrophobic atmosphere that takes shape over the course of the piece. This continues on across the entire side, the sound shifting slightly

from a grinding mechanical rhythm to a less structured dronescape, but with the central feedback drone and faint movements of eerie, minor-key chordal drift maintained

throughout the entire piece. Really dark, minimal, and desolate industrial dronecreep spread over rhythmic mechanical rumbling, I've been returning to this tape a couple

times since it came into the shop...

The equally minimal packaging includes crude, primitive collage art on the fold-out cover, and like the other Ingen Vag tapes is extremely limited, issued in an edition of just

thirty copies.
