3) Karst (orchestra Miskolc) (Hungary) exists since 13 June 2009.

>>The members would be pleased if its genre was described simply as 'extreme rock'. Due to full respect to all the real black metal classics we grew up on, and later True-to-the-Spirit stuff we love: please stop labeling this band as black metal!!

We have clear influences from other genres as well and the soundscapes of Karst does not represent the original black metal bleakness, any form of Satanism, etcetc. We love those atmospheres, but still we cannot confute the listeners and ourselves.<<

The 'forefather' of the orchestra was Nebulosus Fatum(2005-2009), which had 33 concerts, released 3 materials and produced 9 ex-members. Swapping the name shows the changes, because the previous name (meant "Nebulous Fate") didn't fit the athmosphere of the music anymore. It needed to have a shorter, more practical and abstracted name. So the new name may evaken a large variety of associations and also expresses our adoration to the hills the orchestra lives amongst.

4) Minimal noise drone by George Proctor (Mutant Ape/Murder Book).

5) KARST is a free improvisation and (sound) poerty quartet; intermingling objects and instruments, creating an

architecture of percussions, squeaks, frictions, unreal impulses, instinctive mathematic sounds in constant

reorganization.

KARST is a landscape; carved by corrosion, with sharp, underground cavities where thousands of roads offer

themselves to the adventurous listener.
