"This is a feral, scorched blast of industrial metal. So for all those of you who voted electronic black metal as this year's thing, throw down that Kovenant CD, stay your Ulver and Arcturus albums and get into this NOW." -Terrorizer
Oslo’s Red Harvest are the most unpredictable and groundbreaking of all Norwegian bands. Because of this, the band has gained cult status and a dedicated fanbase the world over. Red Harvest can not easily be pigeonholed, drawing their inspiration from a multitude of sources and merging them together into their own unique vision of what the band calls "aural apocalypse". Red Harvest may be best described as "Apocalyptic Industrial Cyber Metal".
Since their formation in 1989, Red Harvest has issued 6 critically-acclaimed releases on various labels. The band have become one of Norway's (and the world’s) best live acts, their stunning performances leaving an indelible mark on those who witness. Four complete European tours have solidified in the minds of many what those familiar with Red Harvest already know...the band’s live show has to be experienced; a massive wall of loud, brutal and uncompromising Industrial Metal.
Plug into the post-apocalyptic world of Red Harvest! If "Cold Dark Matter", the band's fourth full-length, were a cinematic score (and it certainly is crafted like one), the movie would be a gritty fusion of Bladerunner, Matrix and The Blair Witch Project. The bands most recent release shows a more brutal approach and a more uncompromising and bloodthirsty side of the band. The Norwegian quintet churns and grinds elements of industrial and noisecore with cold, grim black metal, creating a unique soundscape that's suffocating and visceral yet atmospheric and introspective. Darkthrone’s Fenriz guests on the album somewhere...but we don’t know where. "Cold Dark Matter" is an ultra-sonic journey through the dark rusted recesses of industrial-metal, where heavily contaminated guitars, vocals, drums and keyboards intersect on a damaged musical highway. Resistance is futile.
