Biography:
Xenomorph is the one-man band of Mark Petrick, based in Berlin (Germany).
Unlike most younger trance artists who just listen to trance music, Xenomorph was exposed to a multitude of musical influences like new wave, punk/post-punk, gothic,
rock-music, death-rock, industrial, EBM, power-noise, death-metal, crossover/hardcore
as well as classical music and soundtracks.
He started to be musically active in 1985 as a bass-player in a goth-band called
"FOG DROWNING". In 1990 he formed his own EBM band "TERMINAL WARFARE" in which
he was the lead singer and has composed the songs. He then joined the local
band "WHIPPET OF TRENCH" as a keyboard player besides his own project one year later.
Due to him being a multi-instrumentalist, he was asked to play guitar/bass and keyboards for a couple of shows with the local industrial band "THE UNKNOWN" in 1993, whose singer is now the singer of the EBM-project "AGONOIZE".
As an enthusiastic fan of death-metal, he also found himself in loose collaborations with local death-metal bands as an audio-engineer/guitarist for their demo-recordings in the studio.
After a long time of inspiration the second Xenomorph album "Qlippoth" was released
in 2003 on Gnostic Records which is Xenomorph's own record label.
Until today Xenomorph has continued to produce cutting-edge dark electronic music
and he has done the mastering post-production for more than 30 releases of various
labels including Spun Records, Manic Dragon, Peak Records and Acidance Records.
In november 2007 the 3rd Xenomorph Album "Demagoguery of the Obscurants" was released. It contains 10 quite different tracks packed into an elaborate concept critically reflecting current,past and future world events already prophesizing the economic crisis of 2009 and the formation of the New World Order. Mark is currently working on remixes for that album, maybe to be released in end of 2009 and also the first tracks for the 4th Xenomorph studio album are coming together.
Xenomorph is also offering mastering services for labels/artists that are looking
to improve the sound of their releases for better audience attention.
With the background of being an audio engineer for more than 10 years and having a profound experience in mastering and mixing electronic music, he is able to
enhance the sound of any premaster. So far he has mastered over 40 psy-trance
releases, to view a list go to :
DiscoValley Records is proud to present its 8th compilation 'Triton': THE musical installment of the Dark Waves ruling our inner oceans. Triton, the son of Poseidon, ancient greek god and master of the sea-world, and the sea goddess Amphitrite, is a marine divinity who was riding over the blue waters on diverse sea-monsters or other fantastic aquatic creatures. His main characteristic in the ancient poetry as well as in works of art is a trumpet consisting of a shell, which Triton blew at the command of Poseidon !!! When he blew his seashell, storms were raised or calmed. Once the giants fought the Gods... Its sound was so terrible, that when loudly blown, it put the giants to flight, who imagined it to be the roar of a mighty wild beast Triton has also helped the Argonauts on their journey to get the Golden Fleece. That's why we chose this theme: Discovalley Records challenges you, along with our Argonauts (Brian, Romolo, Kaos, Jigar, Jasi, Andre, Fabio, Dimitri, Daash, Charalambos and Marios) to board on the Argo, ship of the Heroes, along with Captain Teo, and to take this Tritonic adventure and sea quest, in the depths of the Mediterranean sea....
