I once tried to compliment him on his lyrics and the strength and cogency of his delivery, you know, the whole Lou Koller thing, and he just kind of smiled and shrugged his shoulders. Not one for hyperbole and flattery. He was not too cool for school, just a good guy who didn't think anyone was better that anybody else just because they had made something special or was connected to some cool band or club or clique. His opinion the one day was the same as the next. He called bullshit, but in a warm, amused way. When I told him, in front of Kris and Dennis, how important he'd been to us he looked mildly uncomfortable, nodded and said thanks and then started talking about something else.

He was great and it would have been great if he could've stuck around but this is the deal, you get the time you get. He did a lot with his years and we are many who will miss him.

Lou Koller, not exactly a light-weight.

Listen to Maladjusted today, it's possibly the best hardcore song of the nineties. by @durasduras

FEATURING
◼ BACKENGRILLEN ◼
A COLOSSAL WEEKEND 2026

Backengrillen is not just a band – it’s a sonic anti-fascist and anti-racist riot. This highly explosive ensemble featuring members of Refused, TEXT, INVSN, Fire! Orchestra, and the jazz-rock collective Nirvana unleashes a sound that is equal parts punk defiance, jazz anarchy, and doom metal weight. Their self-titled debut (2026, Svart Records) – written, performed live, and recorded in just 72 hours – is a manifesto of raw, unfiltered creation: A brutal, beautiful collision of saxophones, bass, drums, and vocals that refuses to be confined by genre or expectation.

Here, Mats Gustafsson’s saxophones shriek and spiral like a storm of broken glass, Magnus Flagge’s bass rumbles with the weight of a collapsing bridge, and David Sandström’s drums hammer with the precision of a machine on the edge of collapse. Dennis Lyxzén’s voice – sometimes a snarl, sometimes a chant – cuts through the chaos, pulling the listener into a whirlwind of sound and fury. Backengrillen doesn’t just play music; they detonate it, leaving only splinters of jazz, punk, and noise in their wake.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Backengrillen transform the stage to a zone of controlled anarchy, a live wire of improvisation and defiance. Saxophones wail like sirens, basslines crawl like living things, and drums explode in rapid-fire bursts. There’s no script, no safety net – just pure, unfiltered energy. This is not a performance – this is an cathartic exorcism.

MUSICAL PATH: DEATH-JAZZ / FREE-FORM JAZZ PUNK / ANTIFASCIST NOISE

BACKENGRILLEN is a part of the ACW 2026 Friday programme. You can check out other announced Friday acts, the full lineup, and ticket availability through the link in our bio.

Experimental, avantgarde, new music, free form, modern classical, whatever you want to call it, sank it's teeth in my cerebellum sometime in late 1990. Coming from the metal/punk underground it was fascinating to discover that gifted and classically schooled musicians also had a flair for the grotesque, violent, ugly, furious, dissonant and absurd. I had had the good fortune to discover both Captain Beefheart and John Zorn in my mid-teens and before my teens were over everything from The No New York-compilation, Einsturzende Neubauten, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Ikue Mori, Swans, Glenn Branca, The Residents, Anton Webern, Can, Ornette Coleman, Diamanda Galás, Alfred Schnittke, The Kronos Quartet, John Cage, Pere Ubu and The Butthole Surfers had been revealed to me. What had prepared me to embrace these strange and novel sounds was the attitude with which I had approached playing music to begin with. The very first time I was in a rehearsal space, me and my friend @lapis_niger_productions just improvised for an hour, and it wasn't until several weeks later that we were capable of reproducing anything resembling an organized song. So the wild, the free, the unexpected was where we came from and however organized our respective musics became in different periods, both of us have always kept one foot in the fantastical.
Metal was my first love, specifically the metal known as death, and when I discovered non-metal musicians exploring the same timbres and sounds as the maniacs in Morbid Angel, Carcass and Entombed, I was thunderstruck. Very different breeds of musicians were drawn to this crossroads: punk and alternative musicians taking the abrasive and provocative aspects of their respective subgenre further than previously attempted; jazz people playing scholarly chaotic metal/punk from sheet music; cool, downtown NY rockers experimenting with anti-rock sentiments and, famously: members of the esperanto-speaking, brutally suppressed japanese oomoto religion making "music" that was barely visible from the fringes of the western avant-garde. A very fertile intersection in any case, that brought us Naked City, Last Exit, Ruins, Boredoms ... by @durasduras

BACKENGRILLEN’s death-jazz debut album out today via Svart Records

⚫️ ”Music and art without definite labels is a necessity for a better living - create your own individual genres and open up for more death-jazz-core-noise-metal-poetry to enter your world of destroying the local and global stupidities around us” -Mats Gustafsson

”We really hope this slab of stupid, violent death rock will ruin someone’s day. Haha.”
-David Sandström

Backengrillen is a new ensemble with their roots in HC, punk, noise and free Jazz. All members from Umeå, with roots in the original version of Refused – and one with starting points in the jazz-rock ensemble Nirvana (1980). With a solid and yet varied background in the creativities of Refused, TEXT, INVSN, Fire Orchestra, The International Noise Conspiracy, The End, Serpent, The Thing, Final Exit and other classic jazz combos we will now start our journey of 4 colliding locomotives, creating a new form of beauty and energy.

Anti-fascist, anti-racists, free form Death Jazz – in the memory of Lars Lystedt – Backengrillen arrives with new perspectives on jazz. And punk. In-your-face HC jazz inspired by The Cramps, Little Richard, Albert Ayler, Polly Bradfield, Entombed, John Zorn, Misfits, Stooges, Lars Gullin, Can and much more.

Backengrillen’s self-titled debut album is today, January 23rd, 2026 on vinyl, CD, and digitally on Bandcamp via Svart Records.

Backengrillen is:
Dennis Lyxzén – vocal and effects
Mats Gustafsson – saxophones, flutes and live electronics
Magnus Flagge – bass
David Sandström – drums and electronics by @durasduras
