Skelektikon
**300 copies, 2019 stock** Six years after his last album on Miasmah, Schattenspieler, it's great to find Marcus Fjellström resurrected after several long years spent composing his audio-visual opera Boris Christ.

Being no conventional composer in any way, Marcus stumbles…
Schattenspieler
**300 copies, purple vinyl** In 2010, Swedish composer and multimedia artist Marcus Fjellström's debut Miasmah release followed two critically acclaimed full length albums on Lampse (2006's Gebrauchsmusik and 2005's Exercises In Estrangement).
