Alfarmania: Skuld [C60 - Styggelse 032 - 2009 - 200 copies]
Damaged oscillations and migraine post-mortem accompanied by abysmal vocals, loops, chain heeling, echo, walkman abuse in perfect balance, still in constant slow transformation. Dishonest ecstatic misery. Accelerating in intensity, just to fall into pointlessness and despair.

WAR & HATE FESTIVAL:
Borlänge is a small Swedish town that has become known for their annual "Peace & Love" festival. Finally some local scumbags organized "War & Hate". Those who are only into industrial sound will be disappointed... it is a two-day open-air festival with käng / crust / grind bands, then of course post-mortem havoc from Alfarmania.

METZGER:
Our close friend and session member M. "Metzger" Forsberg, died on June 2nd 2009. He was a central figure in outlaw circles of Sundsvall and also active within power electronics scene since early 90s. Last appearance he did with Alfarmania was on new years eve 2008 (can be heard on "Alfarmania Knivmördar Sundsvall" tape). He was a true fanatic until the end whose deeds and work never will be forgotten. Mors certa, hora incerta! Farväl broder!
