Hellvete produces hypnotic ballads on harmonium and electronics, flowing freely in the spheres of minimalism, drones and folk music. Hellvete is the solo project of Glen Steenkiste, a member of psych outfit Sylvester Anfang II and Bow Aether Group.
Steenkiste’s music is like taking an endless shower of sunbeams − warm, comforting and mind-altering. Music that makes time stand still and focuses on shifting details and textures, but massive in sound and presence, an intense blast of segmented energy that will guide you to the outskirts of your mind.
Since his first morc-release (a split cd with Urpf Lanze and Edgar Wappenhalter ) he continued to amaze everyone with lp’s on blackest rainbow and deep distance,his split 10” with Luster (also on morc), a string of consistently great tapes, and mind-altering live performances with the likes of Om, Amenra, Terry Riley, Caspar Brötzmann or Lichens.
