Bio
With already established origins in first industrial, then techno, Grey created the Murkbox moniker in 1996... The sound is essentially various forms of electronic experimentalism usually drenched in distortion. More often than not, Murkbox is beat oriented; overdriven electro, breakbeats, and glitch that is often peppered with classic horror and sci-fi samples. Murkbox also has forays into ambient noisescapes well illustrated by recent Bad Taste release Binary Drift. A blending of all these elements is the usual fare for a live Murkbox performance... Primary distribution of the the music has been handled by ..Bad Taste... However, in recent years there have also been associations with ..lokol.. as well as ..Hipnotik Records.. based in France... .. -

Sounds Like
noisescapes, glitch & distorted breaks mixed with a myriad of samples pulled from horror and sci-fi flicks. rather than truly sounding dark, murkbox has more of an electro comic book feel. .. .... ...... ....

NEW Ah Cama-Sotz CD "Blood Will Tell" on bats & cats Release Date: 5 November!
Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel SIREN will be in stores everywhere at the end of July! I hope you'll take a look at this dark (and wet!) novel of obsession; I really think it's one of my best works. I'll be debuting it this weekend at the Famous Monsters Convention in Indianapolis; you can get info on my website at www.johneverson.com or pre-order a copy now on Amazon.com.
Bryan Smith, author of The Killing Kind called Siren,
"A richly lyrical and melancholic meditation on loss and desperate yearning. It is also a superbly effective exercise in soul-ripping terror. Modern horror doesn’t get much better than this".
And Jonathan Maberry, author of The Wolfman said, "With Siren , John Everson brings horror fiction back to its roots: scary, sexy and surprising. His best work yet"!
