According to Hatlevik, Zweizz should be considered a one-man band, not a solo project. Hatlevik defines the musical style of Zweizz as a mixture of [IDM](/source/Intelligent_dance_music), [noise](/source/Noise_music), [electroacoustic music](/source/Electroacoustic_music) and [black metal](/source/Black_metal). Hatlevik also uses the pseudonym Zweizz in other bands which he is also a member of, such as [Umoral](/source/Umoral) and [Pronounced "Sex"](/source/Pronounced_%22Sex%22). As a member of Dødheimsgard he used the aliases "Hologram" and "Magic/Logic". The first Zweizz release was the 7-inch EP *[Black Necrotic Obfuscation](/source/Black_Necrotic_Obfuscation)*, issued through [Vendlus Records](/source/Vendlus_Records) in 2004. On March 24, 2007, Zweizz released his debut album *[The Yawn of the New Age](/source/The_Yawn_of_the_New_Age)*, also through [Vendlus Records](/source/Vendlus_Records). Later the same year [Epicene Sound Systems](/source/Epicene_Sound_Systems) released an untitled Zweizz cassette EP in a limited quantity of 30 copies. Side B of this release is built entirely from recordings of the [Soviet](/source/Soviet_Union) [ANS synthesizer](/source/ANS_synthesizer).[2] In 2011, the Norwegian record company [Jester Records](/source/Jester_Records) released the album *[Zweizz & Joey Hopkins](/source/Zweizz_%26_Joey_Hopkins)* that Hatlevik had been making with the late US composer and musician [Joey Hopkins](/source/Joey_Hopkins) before the death of the latter in 2008. Hatlevik is also a founding member of the [avant-garde metal](/source/Avant-garde_metal) group [Fleurety](/source/Fleurety). ## Discography ### As Zweizz - *[Black Necrotic Obfuscation](/source/Black_Necrotic_Obfuscation)* (EP, [Vendlus Records](/source/Vendlus_Records)) – (2004) - *[The Yawn of the New Age](/source/The_Yawn_of_the_New_Age)* (Full length, [Vendlus Records](/source/Vendlus_Records)) – (2007) - Untitled ([Cassette](/source/Compact_Cassette), [Epicene Sound Systems](/source/Epicene_Sound_Systems)) – (2007) ### Split releases - *[Kringsatt av fiender](/source/Kringsatt_av_fiender)* (Split with RU-486, [Cassette](/source/Compact_Cassette), [Destructive Industries](/source/Destructive_Industries)) – (2009) ### Cooperation projects - "Shiva Gives Me a Hand Whenever I Need One, Then I Fuck the Bitch" on an untitled EP in cooperation with [Winters in Osaka](/source/Winters_in_Osaka) (2008) - *[Zweizz & Joey Hopkins](/source/Zweizz_%26_Joey_Hopkins)* (Full length, [Jester Records](/source/Jester_Records)) – (2011) ### Guest appearances - "Cynic" and "Whore" on *Demo* I by [Dementia Absurda](/source/Dementia_Absurda) (2007) - "Satyr's Birth" on the EP [Red Tooth, Red Claw](/source/Red_Tooth,_Red_Claw) by [Winters in Osaka](/source/Winters_in_Osaka) (2008) - "The Shift" on the album *[Zoom Code](/source/Zoom_Code)* by ThanatoSchizO (2008). - "He Came as Swarms" on the album *[The Silver Hour](/source/The_Silver_Hour)* by [Swarms](/source/Swarms) (2008). - "Swarming Locusts" and "Submission to Falsities" on the album *[Syndicate of Lethargy](/source/Syndicate_of_Lethargy)* by [Execration](/source/Execration) (2008). ### Remixes - "Kledt i nattens farget" from the tribute album [My Own Wolf: A New Approach](/source/My_Own_Wolf:_A_New_Approach) (2007) - "There Is Need – The Extreme Zweizz Fuckover" featured on the remix album *[The Circular Drain](/source/The_Circular_Drain)* by [Solefald](/source/Solefald) (2008). ### With Dødheimsgard - *[Satanic Art](/source/Satanic_Art)* (Mini CD) (1998) - *[666 International](/source/666_International)* (1999) ### With Fleurety - *[Black Snow](/source/Black_Snow_(Fleurety_album))* (Demo) – (1993) - *[A Darker Shade of Evil](/source/A_Darker_Shade_of_Evil)* ([EP](/source/Extended_play)) – (1994) - *[Min Tid Skal Komme](/source/Min_Tid_Skal_Komme)* (Full length) – (1995) - *[Last-Minute Lies](/source/Last-Minute_Lies)* (EP) – (1999) - *[Department of Apocalyptic Affairs](/source/Department_of_Apocalyptic_Affairs)* – (2000) - *[Min Tid Skal Komme (Reissue)](/source/Min_Tid_Skal_Komme_(Reissue))* – (2003) - *[Ingentes Atque Decorii Vexilliferi Apokalypsis](/source/Ingentes_Atque_Decorii_Vexilliferi_Apokalypsis)* – (2009) - *[Evoco Bestias](/source/Evoco_Bestias)* – (2010) - *[Et Spiritus Meus Semper Sub Sanguinantibus Stellis Habitabit](/source/Et_Spiritus_Meus_Semper_Sub_Sanguinantibus_Stellis_Habitabit)* – (2013) - *[Fragmenta Cuinsvis Aetatis Contemporaneae](/source/Fragmenta_Cuinsvis_Aetatis_Contemporaneae)* – (2017) - *[The White Death](/source/The_White_Death_(album))* – (2017) ### With Pronounced "Sex" - *XXX* (Interregnum Records) – (2008) ### With Stagnant Waters - *Stagnant Waters* (Adversum) – (2012) ### With Succuba - *Black Pizza* (Handmade Records) - (2016) ### With Umoral - *Untitled* (EP, Vendlus Records) – (2007) ## Line-up - Svein Egil Hatlevik – Computer, Vocals ([Fleurety](/source/Fleurety), [Umoral](/source/Umoral), [Pronounced "Sex"](/source/Pronounced_%22Sex%22), ex-[Dødheimsgard](/source/D%C3%B8dheimsgard)) ## References 1.
