C17H19NO3 is the name of a music project by John Bergin. I stumbled upon the album because I recognized it from a review in Industrial Nation magazine. Oddly enough the review was probably written by a roomate I lived with a couple years later. I would later spend a considerable amount of time trying to find albums by John, such as Trust Obey: Fear and Bullets which is a sort of musical companion to James Obarrs Crow comic. In turn John is sited in A. A. Anistatio's Crow novel Hellbound. What facinates me about John's music is it's blunt brutality. Terra Damnata is reminisent of a trainride to hell with ghoulish vocals and grinding rythms. Not for everyone. Another favorite track is the Ministry tribute of Revenge that John colaborated on. Just now I looked up John again and have found that he does 3d art and animation. I like the guy more and more. Multi-talented and inspiring, he is.

Skold Vs. KMFDM

Finally, Skold is stepping back into his own. I've followed Tim Skold's career as he's worked with KMFDM and playing bass for Marilyn Manson. His best work is still his solo album. This new colaboration with Sasha of Kmfdm is the closest thing so far. Still listening to preview tracks and such, but will try to update on what songs are good.
