Adam Lehrer/Safety Propganda Honestly one of my projects that Kristian has ever done. Its true crime conceptual narrative is only the selling point, the music contained within is hypnotic, dulling, and jarring. There’s lots of breathing room here, space angst ridden thoughts can be projected onto.

about

FJÄLLDESPERADON

The debut cassette of Ghoulbog - a project of Kristian Olsson (Alfarmania). "Fjälldesperadon" is a conceptual album dealing with the case of "Fjälldesperadon", an incident which took place in 1951 in the remote areas of the Lappland mountains. 25 year old Norwegian outsider / loner Torbjørn Hansen, had grew tired from trying to exist in a carnivorous civilisation. He packed some literature and his rifle, then took off into the Swedish mountains. In the process he opened fire towards two hunters and also murdered two pilots. These acts were followed by a police hunt in the snow-covered and desolate terrains.
While undergoing his military service in Norway 1946, Hansen was hit in the head by shrapnels from a grenade. Following this incident he became gradually more and more of a misanthropic character - or in his own word "människoföraktare och rövare" (an outlaw type with endless contempt for mankind). An experienced man of the wilderness, it took the long arm of the law quite some effort before they caught him. Two separate mental examinations took place after his arrest and they both concluded him to be mentally sane.
Besides being a trained mountain hiker and precision sharpshooter, he was also a young man lost in his thoughts and haunted by hallucinatory visions. The whole idea when recording this concept album was more an attempt to portray things from the perspective of the assailer, from the angle of the outsider. Unable to coexist with the rest of the herd in civilisation, he takes off into the mountains to shield himself away from the society of the spectacle. Escaping into the most hostile wilderness Scandinavia has to offer, accompanied by demonic voices tearing apart what remained of your sanity.
