Sleepwalker

Atmospheric black metal / post-rock project

Sleepwalker is the solo project of Michael Rekevics, who also plays drums in Fell Voices and Ruin Lust. The project works in an atmospheric black metal and post-rock style. It issues two CD-R demos, titled Sleepwalker and Sleepwalker II, which are later re-released on vinyl by Vedavu Records. Vedavu Records also releases a live performance on cassette. A 2011 note says the project is working on new material and planning to re-release the demos on CD through Khrysanthoney, though the label’s closure leaves the timing unclear. The recorded output listed for this project includes Sleepwalker from 2009, Sleepwalker II from 2010, and Live from 2015.
