There exists few ancient topics on Survival Unit, but here's a new one dedicated for Olsson's activities.
Lately I've been listening a lot Dödens Ö/Die Totenisel CD. One long dark ambient track with author Bo Cavefor's spoken word parts at the beginning and end. Other parts of the album has kind of familiar, rugged post-mortem sound that is hard to get enough. This being my new favorite, I think Olsson is at his best when the material is veering towards dark ambient. Like splits with Projekt Hat, Alfarmania's Skräcken, Genfärd tape, the track on Hour of the Wolf etc. It's hard to come this kind of morbid atmosphere. Clew of Theseus's (might be worthy of it's own topic) excellent Death Urge has similar feeling, but other than that it's kinda rare. Regarding Döden's Ö, it's also interesting that Martin Bladh released The Island of Death CD almost at the same time. I haven't heard that album yet, but seems they are both based on Cavefor's book. I didn't find much information about it.
Olsson used to run Bolvärk label. Irkallian Oracle was the only band I'm familiar with and remember liking it. Any comment on these releases?
I remember there was some talk years ago, about his collage works being published as art book by Autarkeia(?). As he's a master of collage art, a proper art book would be needed. Any rumors this might actually happen?
