Creative Currents of Nicklas Rudolfsson aka NIRU

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 stands as the Creative Obscure Nexus – a convergence point of the obscure, the primal, and the cosmic unknown.
At its core, NIRUCON is a binding of the personal and the existential, where NIRU represents the self in twilight, and CON becomes a nexus – a meeting place where chaos, cosmos, and the strands of fate interlace. Like threads in Urðr’s web, every act of creation echoes through the fabric of the unseen, connecting the now to the timeless.
NIRUCON moves as a shamanic rhythm within the hidden corridors of the underworld and the stars alike – suspended in the liminal tension between flesh and void, instinct and silence. It summons vibrations from the ancient and the forgotten, weaving sonic rituals that do not seek beauty, but truth within the noise – a communion with the deep structures of being.
In this nexus, creation is not a gesture of control but a surrender – an offering cast into the eternal weave, where the obscure, the infinite, and the intimately human are knotted together. It is from this weave – this dark, shifting cosmos – that NIRUCON draws its voice.

Summer Shifts and Echoes of Creation
July 2025
Time for another update from the ever-evolving sonic landscapes I find myself exploring.
First of all, the new Runemagick album Cycle of the Dying Sun (Dawn of Ashen Realms) will be released this October on vinyl, CD, and digital platforms by Hammerheart Records. Most of the recording took place at Sonic Train Studios with Andy La Rocque, who also handled mixing and mastering, alongside additional tracking in my own Necrotic Noise Studio. Guest appearances include Dísa (Draugurinn), Lussidotter, and more. This album has been a deeply personal and immersive journey—perhaps the most thought-out and emotionally resonant Runemagick recording so far.
Meanwhile, the second Unformulas full-length is slowly taking shape. I recorded most of it during the summer of 2023, and we're now adding the final guest touches. The mix, handled by Johan Bäckman at Raven Noise Studio, is underway. There’s no rush; this album is ripening in its own time.
The collaborative project with Lussidotter—NIRU & LUSSIDOTTER—released our debut album Ett Kall Hän digitally in June. A physical edition may follow. We’ve also recorded additional pieces like Dagaz I and a tribute to Tyra Kleen. In May, we performed a ceremonial version of this tribute live at the opening of Tyra Kleen’s exhibition at Bohusläns Museum in Uddevalla. Earlier this year, we also played an extended live version of “Dåna” at Dödsmässa XIII. We’re currently planning to write and record new material this fall and winter, and we’re open to more live appearances as well.
My solo project NIRU has also been active. Several new tracks recorded in 2024 were recently mixed and released via Bandcamp, Spotify, and other platforms—for example, the track En Tung Vandring. There’s more in the archive, still unmixed. Inspiration is present, so new creations may emerge soon.
Finally, I’ve started sketching some music for The Funeral Orchestra. Nothing is scheduled yet, but when the time is right, the third full-length may begin to take form.
More to come when the moment is right.

Information
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 Ing Leif Nicklas Rudolfsson (ILNR / ᛁ · ᛚ · ᚾ · ᚱ), 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, in order of activity, include Runemagick (mid-tempo death/doom), The Funeral Orchestra (funeral death), Unformulas (epic death metal), NIRU (pagan dark ambient and beyond), NIRU & LUSSIDOTTER (black metal-infused dark ambient with touches of improvisation and poetry), Draugurinn & NIRU (dark ambient, death industrial, ancient pagan percussion), Doula Infernum (metal / folk / dark ambient) and Dödsvaka (obscure metal).
Less active or intermittent projects include Gravfraktal (death metal), Domedag (black metal / ambient / experimental), Necrocurse (death metal), Saltas (obscure/wierd death metal), and Visionary Vexations Vibrations (dark ambient improvisation).
Older or no longer active bands and projects I have been involved in include, among others, Sacramentum (black/death metal), Heavydeath (death/doom metal), Utter Obscurity, Eternal Pain, Masticator (death metal), and many more...
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.

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.
