AA+ DRONE OPERATØR RADIØ #11 hits heavy this time. The mix is laden with drums, guitars and noise. Some 70'ies Japanese Free Jazz, some distorted blast beats, some nerve-wracking electronics all spiced up with some musical pearls. Our special guest the American experimental extreme metal ensemble and contemporary composition collective EHNAHRE presents one song from their oeuvre plus songs picked by each band member that they felt was formative in developing their musical sensibilities.

Ehnahre has been pioneering an effort to rethink and redefine what metal, extreme and new music can be, since their debut release in 2008- to equal parts acclaim and condemnation for their sins against the tradition. Originally conceived as a one-off recording project, the artistic success of the first session inspired the group to forge ahead, and it has evolved over time from a weirdo death metal outfit into an extreme new music ensemble that employs an unlimited variety of techniques, instrumentation and atmospheres. While the ensemble retains a vestigial tail of their formative elements, they are always in search of innovative and interesting new approaches, concepts and projects to give life to.
