"The Black Hand is the first part of a trilogy on black vinyl investigating the power of deep drone and extreme sound and the beast that is creativity and sound. The Skull Defekts were for this recording Henrik Rylander on no-input mixing desk and feedback units and Joachim Nordwall on Drone Machine and effects. Cover design by infamous artist, Fredrik Soderberg. The Skull Defekts was formed by Henrik Rylander and Joachim Nordwall in early 2005. Rylander had been experimenting with feedback for a few years after the death of the infamous Swedish garage rock outfit, Union Carbide Productions where he was the pulse, rhythm and founding member. Quickly they teamed up with legend Jean-Louis Huhta who's been a key character in the Swedish underground music scene since the mid-'80s, and the quartet was complete when Daniel Fagerstrom joined after Eric Olofsson left the band after the recording of Blood Spirits & Drums Are Singing (Conspiracy Records). They have collaborated with Damo Suzuki, Wolf Eyes, CM Von Hausswolff and Lasse Marhaug."

...Feedbacking Gothenburg and Chicago. "The Skull Defekts, represented by Henrik Rylander and Joachim Nordwall, were invited in late September 2006 by the Chicago non-profit organization Lampo to make their U.S. debut. With them they brought recorded sounds from their home on the Swedish west coast, Gothenburg. A city breathing culture, it is also Sweden's most important export harbor. While spending close to a week in Chicago, Rylander and Nordwall carefully prepared a piece to be presented on the Lampo event on September 30th. The duo recorded more sounds, searched for the Skull sound of Chicago, and found inspiration from the city itself and the people they met. They traveled with ten mixing desks and Nordwall's custom Drone Machine, ready to complete the project with sharp psychedelic & analog noise treatments. They also investigated the CM von Hausswolff 'There Are No Crows Flying Around The Hancock Building' thesis. A crow was found below the building, it did not seem to be able to fly. The Skull Defekts recorded it while it was playing and testing its wings in a nearby park. When the Skulls left, the crow was still on the ground."
