About the Book

Giftnalen book no. 1 — a black-and-white journal of apocalyptic and occult underground culture

GIFTNÅLEN no 1 reads like an underground arts journal expanded to hardback scale. Across 480 black-and-white pages, it moves through apocalyptic culture, archaic sorcery, damned poetry, forbidden knowledge, outlaw occultism, perversion, sinister arts, and dense visual matter. The result is not a neutral anthology but a deliberately excessive object, built to overwhelm, provoke, and accumulate atmosphere.

Its strongest quality is the range of material it pulls into one place. The book looks back toward late-1980s and early-1990s underground publications such as Amok, Esoterra, Exit, Force Mental, Pandemonium, Rapid Eye Movement, and Svarta Fanor, but it does not stop at reference or revival. It pushes that lineage into a heavier, more illustrated, and more deranged form.

Giftnalen is aimed at readers drawn to esoteric print culture, underground collage, transgressive visual language, and industrial-adjacent art publishing. It is filled with exclusive and rarely seen material and carries a strong outsider orientation throughout. Assembled between 2018 and 2023 and reissued here by Korm Plastics in 2024, it feels less like a conventional book than like a total printed environment.

About the Author

Kristian Olsson

Kristian Olsson is a Swedish noise, industrial, and power electronics artist. He also runs the labels Styggelse and Bolvärk. That background matters here: GIFTNÅLEN no 1 carries the same commitment to extremity, atmosphere, and outsider cultural production that runs through his work in underground sound and print.

Rather than editing from a neutral distance, Olsson assembles the book as a total environment. The publication feels shaped by someone deeply embedded in industrial and esoteric subculture, with a clear interest in collision, pressure, and cultural excess rather than tidy classification.
