Brighter Death Now
Brighter Death Now is the artist name under which Roger Karmanik, the founder of the Swedish record label Cold Meat Industry, releasing death industrial, power electronics and dark ambient music.

Whereas early Brighter Death Now recordings tended to be largely instrumental and atmospherically oriented, present-day releases often feature screamed vocals, distorted beyond comprehension. Throughout its history, Karmanik has kept his music's thematic elements focused on such topics as sadism and psychosis. 

Desiderii Marginis
Desiderii Marginis has been at the very forefront of dark ambient music for almost 30 years. Ever since its inception in 1993 and the first appearance on the legendary Swedish Cold Meat Industry label in 1995, Johan Levin, the sole member, has been exploring and refining his universe of profoundly dark, yet deeply emotional and evocatively dreamlike soundscapes. 

raison d'être (Sweden) formed in 1991 as a tool of expression with the goal of self-realization. Behind the project is the highly respected and multi-talented sound artist Peter Andersson. For almost three decades now, with a vast number of album releases,
raison d'être has been creating music with overwhelming dark ambient drone industrial qualities that left marks on most listeners. In recent years Andersson works mainly with field recordings and acoustic instruments like gongs, cymbals, bells, flutes, piano, various
metal plates and string instruments; recorded and manipulated in the digital domain to make the sounds unique and perfected.
