Nowadays, of course, metal gigs in New York and London galleries aren’t so extraordinary thanks to artists like Banks Violette and Matthew Barney’s use of metal musicians and imagery. KILLL is the side-project of four active Norwegian musicians; Martin Horntveth ( Jaga Jazzist), Espen Hangård ( Diskord, NoPlaceToHide), Erlend Mokkelbost ( JR Ewing, Montée) and Are Mokkelbost ( Single Unit, ARM). Filmed with everything from surveillance cameras to cell phones to steadycams, the movies are to a large extent based on material donated from the audience and organisers. The stage design was a collaboration between light designer Kyrre Heldal Karlsen and I, animating a patterned backdrop by using LED lights and colored strobes.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead of trying to reconstruct a moment, the KILLL movie presses the digital to the breaking point, and even a bit further - then, cut as tightly and uncompromisingly as the music itself.

A Black Metal concert at one of Norway’s most prestigious cultural institutions on a Sunday afternoon? Evoking a state of emotion that ranges from total confusion and emptiness to blissful enthusiasm and a strong sense of belonging.

One year later Norwegian Megatrends released a live LP from a show at the Henie Onstad Art Center in Høvik.However the Killl live experience is closer to an early Acid House rave than a traditional rock concert. I don’t understand some of the negative feedback Chalkys get - I have never had any problem and would absolutely recommend them. KILLL consists of 5 members, all coming from some very diverse backgrounds: ARE MOKKELBOST is visual- and sound artist, his brother, producer and musician ERLEND MOKKELBOST used to be a crucial force in the deceased (may we say: legendary? Everyone from indie kids to headbangers navigated Norway's fast-growing festival, which featured not only local favorites like 120 Days and the New Violators, but Morrissey, Beck, the Knife, Yoko Ono, and many more.

Norway, however, is understandably still a bit touchy about the genre following a spate of murders and church-burnings in the early 1990s, events that involved members of the Black Metal bands Burzum, Mayhem and Emperor.In stark contrast to the slick hi-res standard of many live videos today, the KILLL footage is characterized by the use of early models of digital cameras and their lacking ability to process hardcore strobes and hyperactive LED lamps. Anyone wandering into this large white room prior to the concert could easily mistake the stage set as an installation: there’s no actual stage.
