Creative Currents of Nicklas Rudolfsson aka NIRU

ᚾ · ᚱ

Welcome to my domain, nirucon.se. Below, you will find more about the mind behind this creation. In the Bandcamp player at the top of the page, you can listen to the music I have been part of shaping. Press the random button to summon another track.

NIRUCON embodies a philosophy of shadowed artistry, where NIRU channels the creator's identity, and CON, the Creative Obscure Nihilism.

The essence of NIRUCON lies in its delicate balance between the personal and the existential. It intertwines the human identity (NIRU) with a philosophical exploration of the unknown and the meaningless (CON). Through this union, creation becomes an act of shaping the incomprehensible - a journey where the obscure and the nihilistic transform into spaces of profound expression. It serves as a reminder that even in darkness and chaos, something beautiful and unique can emerge.

NIRUCON manifests as a shamanic rhythm moving through the hidden depths of the underground - a creative force suspended in the liminal space of the middle world. It summons echoes of the primal and the forgotten, weaving sonic rituals where music and noise transcend artistry to become a communion with the unseen. In this realm, creation is not an act of beauty, but an offering to the eternal void, where the mysterious and the infinite entwine.

Spring Approaches with Runes, Words, and Sounds

March 29, 2025

It feels like time for a little update on my recent musical journeys across shifting soundscapes.

First of all, I’ve completed the recording and mixing of the upcoming Runemagick album, set to be released later this year by Hammerheart Records. The recordings took place mostly at Necrotic Noise Studio (my own humble space) and Sonic Train Studios, and also the final mix and mastering were done there with the skilled hands of Andy La Rocque. I’m truly proud of the result—never before have I poured so much soul and effort into lyrics and concepts, carefully choosing songs that align with the textual themes. Usually, I tend to work a bit too fast... but this time I allowed the process to unfold slowly, even if the actual recordings themselves were swift. This is, without doubt, the most personally invested I’ve ever been in an album.

Beyond Runemagick, my collaborative project with Lussidotter—NIRU & LUSSIDOTTER—has taken significant steps forward. We wrote and recorded a full-length album during January and February. It’s complete. But we’ve decided to let it rest and mature a bit, like a seed hidden in the soil, before we unveil it fully—apart from the digital preview we’ve already released. This project holds many dimensions and has been an inspiring and fruitful collaboration. We’re also preparing our first live performance in early May here in Sweden, where we’ll present a deep, extended, and minimalistic live interpretation of the track “Dåna” from the album. It’s an exciting challenge to bring this to the stage.

Meanwhile, another of my projects—Unformulas, which dwells in an epic death metal realm not too far from Runemagick yet still unique—has its second full-length album currently in the mixing phase. I recorded all the music back in the summer of 2023, and David (my collaborator and vocalist) finished recording the final vocal parts just recently. The mix is now in the hands of Johan Bäckman at Ravens Noise Studio. We’re in no hurry; given the time it’s taken, we’ll let it take the time it needs. No details yet on the release date.

Beyond what I’ve mentioned, there are a few more sporadic and open-ended plans throughout the year... but nothing set in stone. We’ll see where the threads of fate in Urðr’s weave may lead.

I’ll share more updates when the time is right. Until then, feel free to follow each project’s site and social channels for ongoing news.

Welcome to Nirucon Productions, a website where I share my of creative currents as a musician and artist within the underground music scene. My name is Nicklas Rudolfsson, and for most of my life, I’ve been creating music rooted in genres like death, doom, thrash, black metal and dark ambient.

Bands and projects

My current bands and projects, to varying degrees of activity, include Draugurinn & Niru collaboration (dark ambient, death industrial, ancient pagan percussion), Unformulas (epic death metal), Niru & Lussidotter collaboration (black metal-infused, dark ambient with touches of improvisation and poetry), Doula Infernum (folk dark ambient 'metal'), The Funeral Orchestra (funeral death), Runemagick (death doom), NIRU (ambient etc), Terminal Funeral Omega (solo kind of spin-off dark ambient / death industrial project of The Funeral Orchestra and NIRU) Gravfraktal (death metal, currently on hold) och Visionary Vexations Vibrations (dark ambient improvisation, currently on hold). Dessutom har jag varit med i flera tidigare band och projekt såsom Sacramentum, Necrocurse, Heavydeath, Rotified, Utter Obscurity, Eternal Pain, Masticator och många fler.

About me

I was born and raised on the west coast of Sweden, and music has always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I’ve been involved in numerous bands and projects, spending a lot of time rehearsing, recording, performing live, and collaborating with other artists. These days, my focus has shifted a bit more toward personal projects, allowing me to explore different creative directions at my own pace.

Aside from music, I’m a father of three, and they are a big part of my world. I also find a lot of inspiration and peace in nature—whether it’s spending time in the forest or by the sea, these places help me recharge and fuel my creativity.

Nirucon Productions (label)

Through Nirucon Productions, I release music on physical formats when I want and have time for it.

Releases

Dödsmässa

I’m also the founder and co-organizer of Dödsmässa, a local event where underground music and visual art come together. Since it started in 2021, it’s grown into a recurring event, and I’m proud of the community it’s building.

Necrotic Noise

As DJ Necrotic Noise, I get to share some of my favorite metal tracks, from death to doom and "everything" in between. I’m available for bookings.

Necrotic Noise is also the name of my small home studio.

Other services

When time allows, I help others with web design, mixing and mastering music, or creating album covers and logos, though I tend to prefer working on obscure underground music these days. My approach is minimalistic and straightforward, both in life and in my creative work.
