Heid was an industrial/dark ambient project hailing from the forested outbacks of northern Sweden,

started by Kristian Olsson and Tolufim (Daniel T. Eideholm) in 1997 (originally under the name Gimla).
Their first release was the cassette "Beneath The Wing Of Shadows" that was printed in a very limited amount of copies.
In the process of making their first album, Peter "Parasoleil" Lindahl and Stefan Östlund joined.
"Submitting To The Uprush Of The Unconscious" only taken three weeks to complete

and released as a limited edition CDr in 1997 on Bastet Recordings,

creating a dark, dystopian sound, that rendered them a formidable reputation among fans and scene.
After the release of their debut album, Heid signed to Malignant Records, but Stefan Östlund left the project.
Their second album, titled "Arktogäa", took over a year in making and contains a more structured, 

mathematical approach, and incorporated novelty elements like musique concrete and ethno-tinged passages.
After the release of "Arktogäa", Tolufim left the project.
Kristian Olsson and Peter Lindahl had plans to continue, but Heid dissolved definitely in July 2001.
Cold Meat Industry released a retrospective compilation CD entitled "Pilgrim Of The Sublunary World" in 2002.
Heid's legacy was carried later on projects like Survival Unit (Kristian Olsson) and L.E.A.K. (Peter Lindahl and Tolufim),

that opted to focus on different facets of what Heid comprised.

"Aldebaran" is the first pillar of Inade´s Audio Mythology with walls of solid pulsating sound waves,

crushing explosions of stellar noises, wails and voices dragged from the very depths of space itself, 

along with blanketing swathes of night-encrusted atonal skitterings echoing in dark cathedrals.
The album focuses on the German Vril society myths of "Aldebaran",

the black sun of the secret knowledge, from which universal spirituality is said to originate.
The ultimate document of deep and cavernous dark ambient.
