KIM SøLVE

interview: Avant-garde Metal - Stories: KIM SøLVE - Unto Unreality

Directly or undirectly, seriously or unseriously, I would guess at least a great bunch of you AGM readers have heard of Kim Sølve before. Apart from visually working with cutting-edge bands from all genres, the man has also given birth, over the years, to a vividly strong body of musical work. Ambient, experimental, electronica, neo-industrial, disharmonic metal, ballet composition - you name it, you got it. At first my intention was to specifically cover his more metal parkways, but you can't limit such a diverse artist to one side of the coin. Swarms and Pronounced "sex", for example, are two of his bands which recently got released world-wide, but so much more is brewing at night as we speak. So please do follow our steps, and let's see what you'll find out among these unreal worlds.
