Bio
Carpathian Forest was formed in 1990 by R. Nattefrost (a.k.a. Lord Nosferatu) and J. Nordavind (a.k.a. Lord Karnstein). The band is enjoying near cult status in the scene. Emerged at first with the demo tape "Bloodlust & Perversion" (1992), they received sudden enthusiastic responses from the underground. Their obsessive, morbid and grim sound has always been a firm trademark.  In 1993 they recorded "Journey Through the Cold Moors of Svarttjern". In 1995 they signed to Avantgarde, who released "Through Chasm and Titan Woods" MCD. Their first full-length "Black Shining Leather" was out in 1998 (it featured Lazare from Solefald on drums). In 2000 they entered Sound Suite Studio to record "Strange Old Brew", the first of their two-album concept. It was concluded in 2001 with "Morbid Fascination of Death". During that period the line-up stabilized - A. Kobro (In The Woods, Green Carnation) became the permanent drummer, Tchort (Emperor, Satyricon, Blood Red Throne, Green Carnation) joined on guitar/bass and Vrangsinn (World Destroyer) on bass/synth. The album contained a couple of extras like Mayhem cover "Ghoul" or new versions of the bands own classic's "Carpathian Forest" and "The Last Sigh of Nostalgia" (originally on Promo 1993). It was also the last album recorded with J. Nordavind, the band co-founder, who decided to part ways with the band. After a huge European tour with Behemoth Carpathian Forest entered the studio to record "We're Going to Hell for This - Over a Decade of Perversion" (out in 2002). The album was a compilation of brand new tracks, live tracks, covers and demos. After that released the co-operation with Avantgarde expired and the band moved to Season of Mist. In summer 2002 "Defending the Throne of Evil" was created in Sound Suite Studio (released in March 2003). Bloodpervertor joined the band on the guitar and in the new line-up the band performed at Wacken Open Air 2003, in front of 400.000 audience. In 2006 the band released their fifth studio album entitled “Fuck You All!!!! Caput tuum in ano est”. Carpathian Forest’s forthcoming album, “Universal Evil”, is going to be released in December 2009.

Iron Kim Style is an explosive Seattle-based jazz-rock improv quintet featuring guitarists Dennis Rea and Thaddaeus Brophy, trumpeter Bill Jones, bassist Ryan Berg, and drummer Jay Jaskot. Drawing on influences as diverse as Olivier Messiaen, electric-period Miles Davis, Terje Rypdal, heavy rock, and North Korean martial music, Iron Kim Style conjures spontaneous sonic epics that encompass everything from stomping grooves to grinding noise to passages of eerie beauty.

Named after the martial arts approach espoused by Grandmaster “Iron” Kim, and taking playful aim at deranged North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il, Iron Kim Style’s eponymously titled debut CD is a totally improvised affair that stands in stark contrast to most specimens of the free-improv genre. The quintet has no purist ideological axes to grind here, but gleefully blends structure with abstraction, lyrical melodies with scalding noise, sizzling funk with weightless balladry, and jazz phrasing with bracing experimentalism to create a rich and meaty sonic stew. The resulting music frequently sounds as if it were composed, due to the finely tuned listening skills of the participants after years of collective music-making.
