Megaptera is a long-running dark ambient/death industrial unit
and one of the first to be associated with Sweden's Cold Meat Industry label.
They started on the proto CMI-cassette label Sound Source and then released material on several cult labels
like Slaughter Productions, Art Konkret, SSSM, Release Entertainment, Malignant Records and of course Cold Meat Industry.
From their very first release they were noted as one of the early pioneers of death industrial.
The band's sound combined a dense, hypnotic and heavy cinematic/soundtrack-based industrial atmosphere,
with occasional bass-driven metallic machine rhythms.
Megaptera was created by Mikael Svensson and Magnus Åslund (Pettersson), with Peter Nyström joining them soon after.
Their music was influenced by the CMI related sound and bands like The Klinik, Test Department and Cabaret Voltaire.
"The Curse Of The Scarecrow" was recorded by Mikael Svensson and Peter Nyström
with the help of Magnus Sundström (The Protagonist, Des Esseintes, Third Eye) on his Amiga 500 and EPS sampler.
A slightly different version of the track "The Curse Of The Scarecrow" was available on the compilation "Territoires Sonores" while the track "Don't Desecrate The Dead" was featured on CIM's compilation "The Absolute Supper"
and helped with the promotion of Megaptera.
The band is still active today with Peter Nyström being the only remaining member
and in 2019 he released the latest album entitled "A Horse In The Eye Is Part Of The Art".
