Mono October the 5th: Fakta fra verden-release w/This Sect & Nazca


This Sect joins in to celebrate the release of Fakta fra verden: Kors på halsen (View cover), an amazing hardcover comic book collection of the series best known from the pages of Larsons gale verden. Fakta fra verden has a deliciously condescending aftertaste that will leave you feeling like an alpha male for days and days after reading it! Karstein Volle is the man with the plan, he’s the fella behind the series. But it doesn’t stop there, he’s also the only Norwegian in Nazca, whom we have played with in Helsinki. And they’re playing the same night! In fact, their gloom-laden and complex sauna-rock is the headlining act! This Sect is proud to be their loyal minions. You can probably also expect some kind of multimedia thingies from Karstein, like comic book art projected on the walls, or something.


But the plot thickens! Gorak wrote the prologue to the book! We’ve shared moonshine in a sauna! We were lovers in a past life! Baby, it never ends.

This Sect recruits stylist – Gorak transformed



Image is everything. The world of pop culture is a shallow biatch where appearance counts the most. This Sect is an ever-adaptable machine swinging to each consumerist blow the mass media may bring forth. The latest branch of the mutating tree that is This Sect is the decision we’ve made to hire a full time stylist. Her name is Trinek. She’s fast paced. She’s jetlagged. She’s aware of the latest Cosmopolitan fads faster and smoother than you can say “I’ve got a tumour and it’s got a name”. The first Sectist to undergo the utter ultra-chique style-transformation from her knowing fingers was lead singer Gorak. Formerly a frail, tedious and agoraphobic shell of a human being, he is now an efficient and confident take-no-bulls**t front figure. Nature can sure be dazzling, but by adding some make-up and strategic laser surgery it is finally complete, the way This Sect intended it to be. Call it natural progression through surgical and predatory perfection.
