Famlende Forsøk comes from Arendal in the south of Norway. They started up in the early 80s, but with major inspiration from the 70s industrial music represented by Throbbing Gristle, S.P.K. & Cabaret Voltaire. In early releases they used metal percussions and industrial sounds, but later they abandoned the metal percussion, but continued down an even more experimental path, and during the 90s developed a more improvised approach.
The lates release came in 2003, and was a tribute to the legendary horror writer H.P. Lovecraft. By recieving permission to use his words, even some personal letters, Famlende Forsøk created a record that recieved some international attention.
