CARPATHIAN FOREST

Vrangsinn provides music for horror

Musician and producer Daniel Vrangsinn (VRANGSINN, CARPATHIAN FOREST, SECHT, NATTEFROST, A WASTE OF TALENT) has provided some of his own music for the soundtrack of the Danish horror film "Rovdrift", whose English title is "Bleed With Me". Written and directed by Emil Ishii and produced by Anne Worm, "Bleed With Me" (Doghouse Films in association with Cetus Productions) has been three years in the making, originally under the working titles of "Predatory Instinct" and "Hellride" and will make its international debut during the 13th International Weekend of Fear Film Festival which takes place on May 1-2 at the Manhattan Kinos in Erlangen, Germany.

This is not the first time that executive producer Kim Sønderholm, who also stars in the film as the chauffeur hell-bent on making female lead Camilla Metelmann's life as frightening as possible, has used Vrangsinn's music, having previously featured it in "Horror Vault". Vrangsinn states, "Most people automatically link me and my music with the black metal scene because of CARPATHIAN FOREST, but in fact my own music is very different in sound and atmosphere. 'Helvete', the piece that is used in 'Bleed With Me', wasn't written specifically for the film, but it's a piece that that happens to have some very dark and disturbing undercurrents to it, and when Kim Sønderholm heard it, he thought it would be perfect for the film. Writing film scores is something that has always interested me though, and it's definitely something that I would like to explore further."

Vrangsinn is currently working on a new album entitled "Phobia", which will be released in an audio-visual format through Misantrof ANTIRecords, the "non"-label he heads, and which makes all its releases available for free download. Although reluctant to reveal too much about the project, since something similar has never been attempted before, "Phobia" will include not only Vrangsinn's own music, but also the work of various artists from different disciplines who will be contributing their own visual interpretation of various "phobias."
