RUNHILD Gammelsæter Solo Album AMPLICON Out On Vinyl

RUNHILD Gammelsæter boasts an impressive resume of accomplishments, both musical and otherwise. At 17 years old, while a foreign exchange student, she formed the influential doom metal band THORR'S HAMMER. Since that time she has gone on to create music with a variety of collaborators, including the drone doom project KHLYST and SUNNO))). As if her musical accomplishments are not enough, Gammelsæter also holds a PhD in cell biology from the University of Oslo, is a Fulbright Scholar, a model, and a painter.

In 2008, she released her first solo record, Amplicon, on Utech Records. Now, thanks to Little Black Cloud Records, Amplicon is finally seeing a digital and vinyl release, both for the first time, and with new cover art done by Gammelsæterr herself.

The first pressing is limited to 100 copies on clear vinyl with a clear center label that must be impaled through a record player's spindle to puncture a hole in order to play it. Each of the first 100 LPs also comes hand-cocooned in soft cotton webbing with a handwritten lyric line and autograph by Runhild herself. A digital download card is included. Pre-order is now available on the Little Black Cloud Records website here.
