I just started a new blog called COLORS OF THE DARK dedicated to "ART, CINEMA, MUSIC, VIDEO, AND THE WRITTEN WORD ON THE DARK SIDE OF CULTURE. FOR NEGATIVE CREATIVES TO SHOW THEIR WORK. FOR PEOPLE THAT LOVE THE BEAUTY IN THE SHADOWS TO SEE SOMETHING NEW THERE." Check it out at colorsofthedark.blogspot.com
My other blog is BLACK WHITE RED. It's all about my own music and art, plus recommendations, etc. Check it out at malsonus[dot]blogspot[dot]com (please cut and paste). It is updated a few times a week.
I am a visual artist, experimental musician and graphic designer currently living in the Philadelphia area with my girlfriend and three cats.
My first serious musical venture in the music underground began in 1991 with the industrial metal band DEAD WORLD which disbanded in 1999. A significant proportion of the music of DEAD WORLD was non-rhythmic dark experimental.
My interest in this type of sound lead to the formation of a purely experimental side project called TORTURE CHAMBER in 1993. The band essentially broke up in 1995 and led to my beginning DEATHPILE that same year.
DEATHPILE began as a varied experimental / noise project but quickly became pure power electronics (harsh electronic noise with vocals) after the debut release. From 1995 to early 2004 DEATHPILE recorded many albums that were released on cassette, vinyl and CD internationally and performed live sporadically in Colorado, Chicago and on the East Coast.
During this same time period I collaborated with other experimental artists under the names BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA (w/ GRUNTSPLATTER's Scott Candey), HOLLOW EARTH (w/ YEN POX / BLOOD BOX's Michael Hensley) and THE URGE WITHIN (w/ DEATHPILE keyboardist David E. Williams).
In the Summer of 2002 I began creating heavy electronic music as a solo artist under the name ANGEL OF DECAY and put out several releases on labels all over the world. You can check out my discog page here.
Most recently, the independent horror feature "The Mind" (trailer below) premiered in Philadelphia. I did the original analog synth score for the movie and that will be coming soon on CD. You can hear two tracks from it in my player on this page. I am also recording new material with two groups: SEXUAL ASSAULT RIFLE (analog synth / experimental with my lady SQ) and another project called NIGHTMARES with Mark Solotroff and David Reed. Thanks. -Jonathan
