About Runhild Gammelsæter
Runhild Gammelsæter was 17 years old when she joined the band Thorr's Hammer. She was a student from Norway studying in another country. She joined with Stephen O'Malley and Greg Anderson.
The band Thorr's Hammer was together for only six weeks. During this time, they released a demo called Sannhet i Blodet and recorded an album called Dommedagsnatt. The band broke up because Runhild went back to Oslo, Norway. Dommedagsnatt was released in 1996. The other four members of Thorr's Hammer later started a new band called Burning Witch.
In 2006, Runhild helped start another band called Khlyst. She formed this band with James Plotkin and Tim Wyskida. Their album Chaos is My Name came out in the same year. This album also showed two paintings that Runhild herself created.
Runhild released her first solo album, Amplicon, on June 28, 2008. It was released through Utech Records.
On December 13, 2014, she released an album with Lasse Marhaug. He is a well-known Norwegian musician who makes noise music. Their album together is called Quantum Entanglement.
Runhild Gammelsæter has a PhD in cell physiology. She earned this degree from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Oslo in Norway. She was also a Fulbright Scholar.
