When MINUS formed in 1998 their sole intention was to make 'disgusting music'- they are indeed 'grossly beautiful'. Minus are savagely blissful, avant garde, abstract and mysterious- they are Arctic cacophony.

A MESSAGE FROM MINUS

When viewing the landscape of Icelandic music you see a wasteland. Endless blocks of ice entombed in darkness. The four seasons of the year having lost all control of time, the fall and winters long with icewinds, carrying the message of the emptiness from beyond, fierce but still swaying from the occasional green spots where life fights for survival in the fast rising spring, where fruitful plants grow and strange animals run around enjoying the warmth of the short summer.

If you would allow yourself this vision you would see MINUS as the spring, you would see MINUS as the beginning of one of the melting pots of life. Coming up gasping for air, screaming against the facelessness of their surroundings. Standing up to the storm, jumping into the lifeless day with power coming straight from the heart of someone who understands the beauty of chaos. It is that beauty that MINUS thrives on, that is the beauty of everything that is real about life.

THE CULT OF MINUS

With their music they have inspired a whole generation of bored youth as well as those who had gone into musical seclusion having accepted the escapism of popular music. The blind see and dead men walk to the power and the brutality of the electronics that MINUS have under their control. MINUS are a new chapter in the history of Icelandic rock music.
