Run Level Zero - EBM/Industrial from Stockholm, Sweden

Run Level Zero is a band creating electronic music in the same vein as the European and Canadian ebm/industrial masters. The inspiration comes from all sorts of music though. Art and literature and whatever we think is important enough to put into a song eventually end up into the soup.
Easy to swallow for some - noxious to others.

The band hails from Stockholm, Sweden. Current line-up is Hans Åkerman (vocals), Ville Hising (keyboards) and Ola Sundell (live drums).

Run Level Zero has released several discs in both Europe and North America. Memento Materia, who own the world rights, has license deals with DSBP and Minuswelt. RLZ has appeared on many compilations and remixed artists such as Pzychobitch, Punto Omega, Clan of Xymox and Psyche.

The band has toured Europe twice (supported VNV Nation in 2001 and Assemblage 23 in 2005) and will tour the United States in 2006.

In 2001 the band were voted "Best Newcomer" at SAMA, Swedish Alternative Music Awards.

Line up at the time of the last album:
Hans Åkerman - Composer/Vocals
Oskar Lygner - Composer/Producer
Ville Hising - Keyboards
Ola Sundell - Live drums

Manifest
by Run Level Zero





We merged our shadows.
Brought it to light.
Pick up your bow
Stand up and fight.
There’s fog on the field.
and the field is your body
and you are the knower
of that somebody.

The braided self
a construct from birth,
born from dirt and gold
for what it’s worth
Reflection is flat
the moon in the pail
again we stumble
ok to fail

I’m on my way
to liberation
I will not sway
a joyous sensation
I’m on my way
to liberation
I will not sway
a joyous sensation

Treat others the way
that you want to be treated.
To think you are wise,
and you are defeated.
Every time you believe you are near
reality will give you fear.
This is your journey; enjoy
manifest, do, and deploy

I’m on my way
to liberation
I will not sway
a joyous sensation
I’m on my way
to liberation
I will not sway
a joyous sensation

Bring me home
by Run Level Zero






H O M E
lyrics
Sectioned and
Locked up
She was the Buddha
Electric treatment
Belted and beaten

She owned no knowledge
She owned no knowledge

The landscape painted white and blue
Like wet candy
The form is singing
Carving a picture
already gone

Do you hear the noise from the train
The steady beat
Hey! Listen!

The drums
syncopated
The events
dictated
Bring me home
Bring me home
