Stian Skagen is a capable guy. Has done a lot of interesting stuff. Bøe I haven't had the pleasure of checking out live, think he lives in the Mediterranean or something. Have heard some solo works. Ok stuff. Recently went to an Origami Satanika concert (which was great btw)- this is a band project spawned from Bøe's initial Origamika Boe- a collective platform for noise and shared expression. He explains it like this on his webpage: "Through music, text, publications, videos, stage or gallery appearances. It now counts over 300 agents, who in turn have published hundreds of releases and performed well over a thousand concerts and actions live, all more or less obscure according to "the almost invisible art of" meme". http://origami.teks.no/boe/ (http://origami.teks.no/boe/) Though I quite don't see eye-to-eye with this Origami project, I find it interesting within its own context.

Not everything is noise/noisy but it's good.

I just remembered Maskinanlegg: a guy playing harsh noise a few years back; i met him in Oslo years ago and we worked on a split that never came out.
I'm not sure if he's still active. I think his name is Bjørn?
Mind + Flesh mentioned? Pretty good CD out on Force Majeure. Solid death industrial meets contemporary PE sound.

Maskinanlegg, yes Tisbor, good band. You are thinking of Bjørn Hatterud (http://www.discogs.com/artist/Bjørn+Hatterud (http://www.discogs.com/artist/Bj%C3%B8rn+Hatterud). Medtioned him previously. Know him, pat me on the back if you want to reinstall the work on the split. Can forward contact info.

Thanx FreakAnimalFinland, no they are not listed. I presume you are talking about Mind & Flesh. If I am not mistaking Kim Sølve is involved in this project. Great guy. He is also involved in Blitzkrieg Baby and numerous other constellations and co-running the design venture Trine + Kim design studio (check below for link). Think M & F released an album this year as well. Its on my listening list.

Were Waffelpung mentioned? Fantastic name, and the music wasn't bad either from what I recall. I used to have a promo or demo CDR that I seem to have lost, sadly. I think they were associated with Ryfylke... shared a member or something.

Thanx, Waffelpung haven't been listed. Thanx Post-Morten. If my memory serves me right Sten Ove Toft (also of Ryfylke) is a member here. Haven't had the pleasure of listening to this, but will surely press Toft for this next time I see him. Fun & Fanatstic name indeed.

i talked to sten the other day, seems like all waffelpung releases will be made availible soon. keep your eyes open!
no contribution to this list but while we're on nörwegians heres a true story:
some years ago local noiseman "anonymous SS" gave other local noiseman "anonymous XX" a cdr "melting snow" (2004) from the aforementioned tore honore böe, .... "take it, its no good" ... some years pass... then one evening while i drop by XX's we end up talkin bout no-good records and how they end up in the trash can or get smashed into new art or whatever... "here's a pile of crap cd's, take what you want, if there's anything" and i end up with the cdr. 2days later i been rippin that cdr in my player since i got home, fukin xlent!! and coincidentially BOTH guys SS and XX happen to drop by for different reasons but at almost the same time. so here we stand, all 3 guys, with tore honore boe blasting non stop. both guys start like "what a killer record, who is this?? is this (insert famous artist here) or maybe even (insert another famous artist here)???" i didn't tell them.... only later i showed them the cover... amazement and surprise on both faces. "i gave this to you years ago" said SS. "i gave it to him" (points at me)....
i win!! fuck you!! one more example of how disconnected one can be from PURE listening experience, unharmed by "who" or "when" or "what album" or "was this the live version or the remix version" or whatever etc etc etc
so yeah... tore honore boe!!
and my favorites MoHa!
