2025
2025 was a musically slow year for Miasmah, but nonetheless one with some very special records. Most of which happened earlier in the year. I had the honour of releasing the debut album by the brilliant Olga Anna Markowska (ISKRA) in January. A record that was a long time coming, and that really hit on a deeper level. Olga also performed at our Berlin space, mi – so around the time, which was an absolute stunning performance. I managed to catch her again at Unsound festival, which took her sound to a different level at the Lynchian 89 Club / Hotel Forum. Truly mesmerising. Make sure to catch her live whenever you have a chance.
As the only other release this year, my (Erik K Skodvin) score to Swedish horror movie “From Darkness” came out digitally early January since it was nominated for best score at the Swedish guldbaggen award (the Swedish version of the oscars). I wasn’t even sure about releasing the score, but it got rushed out because of this. It was an absolutely bizarre experience to attend the award ceremony as a in-n-out trip to Stockholm first thing of the year. Even if I’ve released some digital only things before and recently, it somehow doesn’t feel real if there’s no physical media version. So the decision was made that I would try to basically compile my own super LTD version, to make it doable. The double-screen print, hand compiled LP version came out in November.
In-between this, our debut album as Deaf Center, Pale Ravine turned 20 in 2025. This required some special attention, and a CD re-issue was released in May – similar to the 2LP bonus edition from 2016. THEN, something strange happened. After finding all the sample material made for the album, inspiration hit and several new pieces were made in the spirit of Pale Ravine. Two of these pieces were released as the EP “Lucy’s Dream” as a bandcamp only self-release.
2026 sees Miasmah turn 20 years, and we have several exciting things planned. Some which will happen already on the very new year. Also, Olga Anna Markowska, Svarte Greiner and DJ Kreng will perform at the 20 year celebration event at AB / Brussels on March 7, 2026. I hope to see some of you there.
Thanks to you all!
