Sergiy Fjordsson has recorded/published many experimental/noise releases under name of Moloch in the period from 2006 to 2009. Many of them had very limited edition and originally positioned as private records of various experiments with sound. In fact, almost all of them were written for private archive, but later published in various demos, EP's and splits, because Sergiy believes that music is dead until it will be heard by someone else besides the author... Despite the fact that these experimental/noise releases were issued under the name of Moloch, they should be regarded as a kind of the other side of Moloch. Only in 2009 Sergiy provide noise experiments in a separate project called Saturn Form Essence. Most of the Moloch tracks were recorded in the forest home studio of Sergiy Fjordsson and many of the vocal and keyboard parts recorded live in the forest, dungeons and abandoned places. Also Sergiy used analogue two-inch and seven-inch tape recorder for most of the recordings. Many of the Moloch albums are completely analog and most of them based on the live field recordings.Although the band is from the Ukraine and all lyrics are in native ukrainian language, the song titles are in German. Album "Verwüstung" has the lyrics written in old english and latin languages.The first logo of Moloch was inspired by Darkthrone and created in 2002. In 2007 Sergiy changed the logo. New one was influenced by and has elements of ancient slavonic "Буквица". From 2014 Moloch also use a simplified version of the logo (which can be seen on cover of "Verwüstung" album) as well as the logo created in 2007.The first live show by Moloch was played during the autumn 2009 in the Carpathian woods as a closed dark ambient ritual for a select number of people together with Silver Sphere Moon, Saturn Form Essence, Gjollheimr, and Anu. The second live event was during the winter of 2010, also in the Carpathian woods with -15/-20 degree temperatures. A live demo was recorded at the last show which was spread to a select few members. In 2012, remastered version of this ritual released as full-length album "Abstrakter Wald".Moloch has only 1 official video clip "Philosophie der Depression" recorded and filmed in 2009. Taken from interview with Sergiy: "This video should NOT be perceived in a view of banal suicide. The idea implicit here is a deeper journey into yourself and resonates with the world around us. All elements here have many metaphors. And to understand them, you should ignore the primitive thinking". Few more videos vere made in 2007. but not concidered as "official".In 2002 a rehearsal demo tape was recorded, but it was never officially released due the very bad quality. There also exists a single copy of a nameless 7'EP vinyl with 2 dark ambient tracks. Founder of Depressive Illusions Records and De Profundis Productions.By about 2009 Sergiy started project Saturn Form Essence specially for all noise experiments in order not to release them as Moloch. So this project can be considered as an embranchment of Moloch living its own life. The first releases contained Harsh Noise sounds, but later the music transformed into Ambient Drone with some noise elements. Many of the tracks based on a specific sound and static noise. All tracks are recorded in analogue way with help of many various specific stuff, like old soviet radio-static equipment, two-inch tape recorders, duophonic analog keyboards, tube amplifiers, various recordings of space noise/signals ets. Most of the albums were released on old recycled audio cassettes, vinyls, cheap CD-r and ever diskettes. Some albums were recorded in mono mode. Project inspired by cosmic noise, universe, outer space, ancient astronauts, UFOs, and other common themes..."Cosmic noise characteristics are similar to those of thermal noise. Cosmic noise is experienced at frequencies above about 15 MHz when highly directional antennas are pointed toward the sun or to certain other regions of the sky such as the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy. Celestial objects like Quasars, super dense objects that lie far from Earth, emit electromagnetic waves in its full spectrum including radio waves. We can also hear the fall of a meteorite in a radio receiver; as the falling object burns from friction with the Earth's atmosphere, ionizing surrounding gases, thereby producing radio waves. Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) from outer space, discovered by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, who later won the Nobel Prize for this discovery, is also a form of cosmic noise. CMBR is thought to be a relic of the Big Bang, and pervades the space almost homogeneously over the entire celestial sphere. The bandwidth of the CMBR is wide, though the peak is in the microwave range." The other project started in the middle of 2011 and called Psilocybe City Life. Only one demo album "Drugtown" exists. This is Dark electronics dedicated and inspired by life-addicted modern society of big megapolises.There also exists a Ritual Dark Ambient project called Silver Sphere Moon (something in the vein of Equimanthorn / Wardruna), but Sergiy doesn't want to record any songs for this project, just play it during closed live rituals.He also played (voices, lyrics, keyboards) with the USA band called Vinter Natt, which split up without any releases, but in 2009-2010 has recorded 3 tracks in Depressive Black Metal vein. One track can be found on youtube here. Aslo written and recorded some keyboards songs (intro, outro, interlude, prelude, instrumental ets) for Ereshkigal, Kristallsturm, Deviator, Gurthang.Sergiy Fjordsson is also a photographer/painter whose paintings and photographs have been used to design many releases by many bands. He also made logos for many various bands and labels.In 2002 Sergiy published underground Black Metal newspaper “Темная Вера” (English translation “Dark Faith”). Only few issues were spread.
