In its earlier incarnation DEAD RAVEN CHOIR was a creepy barbaric folk project with occasional outbursts of exceedingly harsh black metal. It was originally formed in 1996 as a duo consisting of Smolken and a mysterious woman. The idea was to play virulent black metal with lyrics taken from “Winnie-the-Pooh”. Fortunately this resulted in only one half-finished song before the mysterious woman disappeared. In 1998 Smolken and another mysterious woman set more A.A.
Milne poems to quieter, more restrained music. DEAD RAVEN CHOIR evolved from that point, growing increasingly more raw and dramatic. In August 2004 after two CD releases and over twenty CD-Rs, Smolken abruptly ended all dead raven activity. However, old material continued to be released and reissued, including the Cask Strength Black Metal triple LP box set. 2006 brought the rebirth of DEAD RAVEN CHOIR in an even grimmer form. A new album is currently being recorded for a 2007 release.

None of the related artists are anything like Dead Raven Choir. That goes to show how difficult is to categorize this stuff. I love that. Smolken is genius.

Good interview with Smolken at Left Hand Path... the guy is not as fucked up as some of you seem to assume. He actually seems fairly normal. People just have a dark side that doesn't necessarily come from being abused or victimized in some way... deal with it. http://www.thelefthandpath.com/lefthandpath/index.cfm/event/read/entry/Interview_D_Smolken

Ultra-romancism, hyper-expressionism and anti-urban reasons =P But I like it. Looks like the Scandinavian artists that plays psych folk/drone, but without any psych passages.

...it's like a slightly masochistic schizophrenic armed with a cello and a large amount of PCP went into the woods with a 4 track and came out with this. Quite interesting.
