Kristoffer Nyströms Orkester

Kristoffer Nyströms Orkester is a collaborative two man project between Kristoffer Oustad from the death/black metal band V:28 and Peter Nyström of Megaptera fame. Musically this band is a reasonable blend between atmospheric dark ambiance and mild noise experimentations. It’s been over half a decade since Kristoffer Oustad and Peter Nyström joined forces for an initial release entitled “BRAKEhead” that saw the light of day in a mere edition of 20 copies before Malignant Records picked it up and re-released it the following years with an additional track. Once this was available, the project seemed to go on an indefinite hiatus, essentially offering up nothing but dead air for 6 long years until the project unexpectedly once again found it’s footing and offered up this new release in “Overlook Hotel”, again to be found on Malignant Records. Most should be already well-aware of Hans Peter Nyström and his impressive level of experience as he is a monolithic figure due to his work with Megaptera and Negru Voda. Of course, it should also be mentioned that he has collaborated like this before with Mathias Josefson (Moljebka Pvlse) under the Negru Pvlse alias for a one-off, highly underrated album on Old Europa Cafe entitled “Madeira”, so he is no stranger to the world of interesting collaborative efforts. The unique factor in this one, though, is the presence of one Kristoffer Oustad, known in the Avant-metal community for his, at least early on, extremely impressive work under V:28 (and V:O:I:D) whom spent their entire careers on Vendlus Records with the exception of a remix/cover album on Cold Meat Industry entitled “Total ReConstruction” prior to effectively disbanding.
