The ever-dynamic outskirts of Oslo and their music scene always has something exciting to offer the deeper you explore, and the Norwegian rock unit MoE, which has been around since 2008, is one of them. Often described as Experimental and Noise-infused with avant-gardish Sludge undertones, they are bound to incorporate DIY approach in their creative process and present minimalist compositions in alternative and experimental ways. Well-known for involving challenging approaches in Rock and Noise settings, they aim to break boundaries in the stereotypical spectrums surrounding those two genres, aiming to provide their listeners a sonic experience laced in the depths of full-blown intensity.

ALBUM REVIEW: Saint Karloff – Paleolithic War Crimes
Norwegians Saint Karloff formed in 2015 and their debut full-length All Heed the Black God followed in 2018. The latest album Paleolithic War Crimes (Majestic Mountain Records) comes as something of a bittersweet release following the sad loss of bassist and founding member Ole ‘Karloff’ Sletner in 2021 (RIP). The writing for this record had started in 2019 with Ole very much on board and to quote the band ultimately, “reflects a band in transition and exploring new paths, but at the same time it retains that proper heavy Karloff-vibe.”
