Bushman's Revenge
The power trio is rock's most malleable form. It can run the gamut of rock's emotions, from a three minute pop song to a freeform freakout, as practitioners like The Jimi Hendrix Experience proved. Norwegian trio Bushman's Revenge have taken the blueprint and reinvented it with previous unconnected sources. The free jazz of Ornette Coleman (who always slung his horn like a guitar anyway) is wedded to the heavy sludge of stoner rock. Guitarist Even Helte Hermansen has crafted a language of monolithic riffs, No Wave scrubs and molten Metal wails. These confront the listener in full force on the riff-heavy "Count The Notes In Your Head" or the staccato pummeling of "Bølehøgda Rock City". However assertive the guitar may be, power trios stand and fall by their drummers. Gard Nilssen is equal to the task, particularly on the flailing "King Of Hello" where the guitar becomes a halo of feedback encircrling a maelstrom of drumming. Credit goes also to bassist and third-leg Rune Nergaard who matches his group mates blow for blow. Volume is far from the sole motif. The track "Hell Is For Hello" is built from absence. Its echoes and rumbles are light moving through mist, the sounds left when the riff is removed. Likewise, on the subdues "Ghostwriters In The Sky", Nergaard switches to upright bass to anchor the heavy silence. Nor is the album free of melody beyond riffing. The closer, "Champagne For My Real Friends", with its anthemic chorus and euphoric chords, is a well-earned, triumphant conclusion to an arresting album.

Lord Kelvin
"Lord Kelvin" is a band consisting of two hornplayers and one drummer. Erik Johannessen plays the trombone, Eirik Hegdal plays the saxophones and Gard Nilssen plays the drums. All three of them compose the music and it changes from free jazz to rock to classical chamber music and so on.
The Lord Kelvins are educated at the jazzdepartment of the conservatory of Trondheim in the middle of Norway, and they play in a great variety of bands, see list below.
The bassless trio gives a lot of freedom, but also some challenges regarding composing the music. This results in some unusual solutions in the arrangements, and a whole lot of great new music.
Hope you like it.

Mere praise…
