Norway

The respected Norwegian band Red Harvest has thrown various strains of electronica and industrial into their dark metal cauldron since the their formation in the late '80s, and they have gradually built a cult following due to word of mouth and a consistent release schedule that has never found the band repeating itself. Unfortunately, the band didn't have any of their albums distributed in the United States until Relapse picked up 2000's acclaimed Cold Dark Matter for re-release in 2001. New World Rage Music (2001) and Sick Transit Gloria Mundi (2002) followed; both records were released on the Nocturnal Art Production label and received no Stateside distribution. ~ Andy Kellman
