Asylum XIII was formed in late 2008 by former Heaven Falls Hard and Mpiredwn member Daemon. Originally a "vanity project" never intended to see the light of day, he set to writing music. Intermingling the influences of punk and goth, he created art reminiscent of the "deathrock" genre, drawing multiple comparisons other bands, including Bauhaus, TSOL, and most strongly Rozz Williams' incarnation of Christian Death.

Receiving overwhelming positive feedback and demand via the internet, Daemon then began recruiting members who could take Asylum live. At this point, one Asylum song "Narcissus" began being played in demo form on NY radio stations while another, "Excommunication", appeared in live form on Shinto Records' gothic compilation "Lunar Sea". 

Some of the more popular songs from Asylum's set include the pop-punk oriented uptempo tracks "Narcissus" and "Vanity", both based very strongly on the belief that only in loving yourself and embracing who you truly are can any others love you, and that you should never change for anyone. There's the gothic opus "Excommunication" and punk cabaret flavored "Before the Fall", both of which are centered around strong feelings against organized religion, and "I Do, which is musically reminiscent of a goth-rock version of a circus. Overall, it's very pop priented post punk goth rock with a strong deathrock vibe.

American-born, mostly dance artist with 80's & 90's influences

Fresh out of central Florida comes a band of razor-sharp intensity, with a stylized combination of heavy and melodic chops which will leave you breathless on the edge of your seat and begging for more. With creative visionary Nicholas Whitfied at the studio helm, and a powerful live band, 9th Evolution is a force to be reckoned with. Their two albums, "The Life Atomic" (2010) and "Retro Americana" (2012) are deeply personal for Whitfield. They are a commentary on our modern world, and a clarion call for change. They speak intelligently about social issues, without losing their audience. The music speaks for itself, and it is a voice which we cannot ignore.

Members: 
 David F.X : Vocals, Lyrics, Music and Concept

Genre: Darkelectro, Industrial, Experimental, 

Info:

In the beginning F.X had only one intention, to create music for himself and not introduce it to the public. He wanted to find an opportunity to deal with his implicit & explicit demons.  Some might call it self-therapy.  Over the years this developed into a unique style of music and lyric.
FearWork mixes breakbeat rhythms, analog sounds and industrial noise with haunting melodies, which are as simple as they are disturbing - drowning the listener in cold, desperate emotions, which only FearWork's music can create.
The lyrics consist of metaphors, obscure and schizophrenic views of the world and humanity, expressed in the poetry which transports the contradiction and the rawness, that draws the listener into the incantation.
