creates a new strain of doom, that, drawing heavily from atmospheric goth metal, infuses adrenaline-charged beats and eerie electronic textures. The result charts new dark musical territory while retaining accessible hooks. Those that may expect another EBM industrial act will be greatly disappointed. Perdition brings coldwave / goth back to the forefront - a force now severely lacking in the scene. The smooth mix of masterful electronic programming with aggressive guitars and crunching bass are a refreshing change from today's frigid world of purely computerized industrial. Ultimately, they produce an onslaught of sonic intensity that few can match.

is a spellbinding hybridization of magical, eighties induced electronica and dark, contemporary song-writing. Diseased and aggressive guitar sounds are fused with the elegance of euphoric melody to create a sound of epic grandeur.

was formed in September of 1999, when Dan Rivais and Brennan Heath met in their first year of university. The two went on to form the core of the band, and in August 2001 recruited vocalist Lisa Mior, drummer Trev, guitarist Cosmo Costas. With drawn influences from all across the music spectrum, C(X) uses dark guitars blended with tranquil melodies to create their sound. Add in the occasional groove of trip hop, and the pure grind of industrial noise for refinement, and C(X) has an innovative style that is their own. Their fresh approach to alternative metal makes them a unique entity in the Toronto music scene.

the new millenium dawned... and the DiVinE cast it's sinthetic shadow... sept 4th 2k1 saw the release of the DiVinE's second full length cd... "sinthetic inside"... the cd itself a collection of songs that paint a portrait of the shallow emptiness of cyber reality... the DiVinE strives to break the mold of normal boring everyday life... and dares you to be the deity your are... join the gods of lust, greed sex and death... and feel a pleasure that is so DiVinE

I am a lover of all Industrial/Electronic music. I started out in this scene in the early 90's at Catch 22. As recently as last summer, started my own gigs at the Vatikan on Saturday's. I want to do my part to help this scene thrive and flourish for generations to come. Ever evolving and loving it. :) "cry 'havoc' and let slip the dogs of war..."

I've been around the scene since the 80's, hanging at clubs like the original Sanctuary and Death in the Underground... and others that have passed into merely being names. Primarily DJed special events, conventions and other 'mobile friendly' functions for a lot of years, with the occasional guest appearance now and again. A major music addict, I finally settled down to a few clubs in Ottawa before moving to Kitchener and starting "Devolution Wednesdays" at Club Renaissance.~ I still do guest spots all over, from NYC to Cleveland to Toronto to where-ever. For me, it's all about the fun... playing the crowd and packing the dancefloor. Mixing the old and the new. And just offering [and having] a darned good time.
