Dismantled is the sole product of Gary Zon whose unique blend of progressive
electro-pop rock has crossed boundaries, meshing everything from the pop of
Paula Abdul to the grind of Nine Inch Nails into a sonic attack like no
other. The band's quick critical acclaim from fans and reviewers alike has
found them a home on Metropolis Records, one of the biggest electronic
alternative labels in the US featuring artists like Mindless Self
Indulgence, Bauhaus, and VNV Nation, just to name a few.
Formed in late 2000 as an experiment, the project became successful when
introduced online with its over-processed vocals and intense melodic
sequences. In only a short year, Dismantled was signed to both Metropolis
Records in the US and Dependent Records in Europe and released the single
"Dystopia" and the self-titlted album to highly positive reviews, hailing
Dismantled as the newcomer of the year and as "Album of The Month" in three
major German alternative magazines: Zillo, Sonic Seducer, and Orkus.
After a series of shows in the Northwest with such acts as Pigface, Hanzel
und Gretyl, and Dita Von Teese, the end of 2003 saw the release of the Exit
EP on Dependent Records, a somber ballad with clear vocals and a memorable
piano. Included were a haunting cover of AFI's Morningstar approved by Davey
Havok himself and a remix by Christian Antkow of id Software (Quake, Doom
series), both long-time fans and supporters of the project. The full-length,
PostNuclear, followed in 2004, upgrading the sound to be more rock-oriented
and unusual with its mesh of pop and moody electronics, earning praise from
industrial legends Rudy Ratzinger from Wumpscut and Daniel Myer of Haujobb.
To fully realize the vision of PostNuclear, the band set out on its first
nationwide tour in 2004 with Adrian White on drums whose previous work
included Delerium, Front Line Assembly, and Strapping Young Lad. The success
of the tour had prompted the release of the third album in 2006, titled, Standard Issue, a
sarcastic take on the simplicity and emptiness of the current musical
climate. Finally getting to play in Europe at the Wave Gothic Festival after Standard Issue commercially failed in the US yet succeeded in Europe, Dismantled recorded one more album for the closing label Dependent titled "When I'm Dead," slated for 2007 and parted ways with Metropolis Records. As a result, Gary Zon is busy pursuing other projects, including the indie pop rock electro outfit Aerodrone and the female fronted electro / synth / rock band No Not Never.
