Epica*structured*renoized!

composed for a cappella group Zub Zuva but never played

Zubi Zuva demo track

This is a live excerpt of me playing in Don Caballero in 1994.  I put some turd polish on the board recording to spice it up a bit.  For a live recording, I think its pretty good. 

Don Caballero REPEAT DEFENDER EXCERPT live at Brownies 1994

This track appears on the Mind of God - 'Ominous' full-length LP. Mastered by J Stillings of Steel Hook Prostheses. The album was released as a CD in a DVD case by Altar of Waste Records. All copies have sold out, but the album is available for download on the Mind of God Bandcamp site: mindofgod.bandcamp.com/album/ominous-lp

"Interesting, new, and refreshing underground act from the U.S. working on a sound/style which was sadly forgotten in the late '90s. If anyone could remember the works of Mick Harris and James Bullen (Scorn), or the sound of Coil in the late '80s ('Windowpane' era) or maybe even the static electronic melancholia of Autechre - 'Amber', you would have a way of describing the sound of Mind of God. Dub and psychedelic-inspired minimal industrial. Mind of God - 'Ominous' is damn refreshing and original and incredibly well done! Sounds, atmospheres, and trippy drums swirl around and jump between your speakers creating an awesome audio vortex!" - Per Najbjerg Odderskov of Tironas Magazine

"Mind of God - 'Ominous' is the kind of animal that knows just how effective psychological terror can be, with its heavy industrial and dub rhythms and sounds producing an atmosphere of intense darkness. It’s as good as impossible to listen to this and not have a sense of paranoia grow; such is the malice and threat held in these six songs. The beats are incredibly heavy, and it’s hard not to be absorbed in to them; despite the undeniable heaviness, there’s also something quite ambient about 'Ominous', with each track building an aura that drowns the listener, submerging them in the dark, treacherous waters. It’s safe to say that this is one album that lives up to its name." - Stuart Wain of The Sound Not The Word Webzine

"Pizzolato has made phenomenal use of earth-shaking lows, piercing highs, and the placement of sounds, so that the music has a kind of three-dimensional character. Wherever you choose to play Mind of God - 'Ominous', it’s worthy of a good-quality sound system." - Kate MacDonald of Heathen Harvest Periodical

"Debut AOW full-length of Jason Pizzolato's Mind of God, following the project's 'Electro-Battle Preparation Tactics' EP. 'Ominous' is a much darker and more frigid work, a hypnotic assault of buzzing minimalistic deathdub, electronic detritus, and deeply psychedelic textures. Given a crushing mastering job by John Stillings (of Steel Hook Prostheses), 'Ominous' is an absolutely room-shaking affair through speakers and a hallucinatory excursion into drug-addled staticism through headphones. A nightmare vision of dystopian anxiety." - Cory Strand of AOW Records

"I must say, this Mind of God record is sincerely Bad Ass!! It is really effective at influencing the 'lighting' in a room. It's really well put together, and in moments, it beautifully pays homage in sound and arrangement to some of its more Broadrick-esque predecessors." - Tannon Penland (LOINCLOTH / GAUCHISTE)

"This album is AWESOME." - Josh Eustis (NINE INCH NAILS / PUSCIFER / TELEFON TEL AVIV / THE BLACK QUEEN)

Ontal - Combat Engineering EP (Overdraw)(Preview)

di-noise - can´t wake up

Recorded on a boombox by Jason Pizzolato & his brother Tracy Pizzolato (R.I.P.) in Soilent Green's practice room in 1989. Songs played at practice:
1. Summons (excerpt)
2. Soilent Green
3. Mad Scientist
4. Spirit of the Earth
Band lineup:
Glenn Rambo (R.I.P.) - Vocals
Brian Patton - Guitar
Donovan Punch - Guitar
Tommy Buckley - Drums
Bassist Marcel Trenchard did not come to practice that night, so there is no bass guitar on the recording. The band only had one guitar amp at the time (the Ampeg amp that Brian Patton still uses in EYEHATEGOD to this day), so Brian is on guitar on the first two songs, & Donovan plays on the last two. The voices heard at the end of the recording are that of Donovan's grandmother (the band practiced in her garage) & Donovan's first child, who was about one year old.

Soilent Green - Practice '89

Stressball was a power metal band from New Orleans in the '90s & early '00s. They released a self-titled album in 1994 on Pavement Records. In 1995, drummer Joe Fazzio left the band to join Superjoint Ritual and Hank III. He was replaced by Jeremy Falgoust, who had played in a death metal band called Infant Slug. While sticking to their power metal roots, the band also added a bit of blues influence. This is an unreleased demo tape that they recorded in '00. It was digitized off of a cassette tape that Jason Pizzolato has had in his possession since the demo was recorded. He recorded his copy from Stressball guitarist, Lennon Laviolette. The death metal band that Jason played guitar for in the '90s, Apostasy, played two shows with Stressball. 
Lineup on unreleased demo:
Steve Gaille (R.I.P.) - Vocals
Lennon Laviolette - Guitar
Jeremy Falgoust - Drums
Bass guitar was done by either Danny Leblanc, Jesse Dover, or Lennon Laviolette. If this is clarified, it will be entered here.

TERR101: HAVE DEMONS - "FIRE CONSUMES THIN AIR" EP out on Netlabel Day, July 14th!

There’s a point at which everything returns to where it started. Whether it be a first trip across the planet, the inspiration of a timeless and nearly faceless album of simple beat/bass/drone/drift, or programming beats with whatever electronic boxes could be find, the team behind HAVE DEMONS have dialed it backwards. A first salvo fired together is on offer, deriving from the origin point of their electronic composition collective consciousness. Submerged, Luke Lund (https://soundcloud.com/weight-less) and nem0 are the team in question here, and the HAVE DEMONS project began on a whim and yielded the most serious return to dark hop with their "Fire Consumes Thin Air" EP. 

Portland’s Submerged, the originator of the legendary Ohm Resistance (https://soundcloud.com/ohm-resistance), alongside You Will Choose Fire bandmate, Montana beat maven and synth programmer nem0, collided with Luke Lund, the progenitor behind Finland’s Terranean net label, and managed to connect all the dots between them and fuse together four stylish tracks of heavy-slab beat-work. HAVE DEMONS is a cross cultural electronic production team, from the Northwest Coast of the USA to Southwest Finland, constructing the most isolationist, bass heavy, non-conforming beat structures in the current decade. And it all harkens back to an era when all 3 began consuming and composing a style nearly lost to the ages: dark hop.

For fans of Scorn, Mothboy, NOS, Hednod, WordSound, OCOSI, Horchata, these are not simply derivative pastiches of a forgotten time. "Fire Consumes Thin Air" answers the question most of us have never asked - what if the dark hop era had continued to the present day? These four pieces give us a glimmer of an answer, new hope for the future, and the desire for more.

1. Kept Sinking
2. Little to Blame
3. Astana
4. Get Out

Submerged: synthesizer, turntable, bass guitar, dombura
Luke Lund: beats, samples, live dub FX
nem0: synthesizer, drum machine, shortwave radio

Arranged by Submerged at Red Site I. Additional arrangement by Luke Lund. Mixing, mastering and graphic design by Luke Lund at Solace.

[TERR101] Have Demons - Little to Blame

original version before the addition of cello for Tristraum's Grey album

before it's gone

Dark Ambient Dub/Industrial/Minimal Musick. Mind of God is my vessel of transmission. Influences include Scorn, Coil, & SPK.

All music by Jason A Pizzolato ©
"Sonic Electronic Terrorism for the Mentally Disturbed" ™

My listeners are presented with heavy, beat-driven, dark ambient dub. I've been listening to heavy music in one form or another for as long as I can remember. My older brother turned me on to Kiss, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, etc. when I was about three years old. At the age of twelve, I got my first guitar & started the death metal band Apostasy a few years later. We recorded a well-received cassette & played several live shows with friends' bands like Soilent Green, Flesh Parade, Paralysis, & Mule Skinner. Apostasy eventually broke up, but my love of music has never faded. I still play & write on guitar, but I've always loved the darker side of electronic music, too. The heavy dub of acts such as Scorn & Coil persistently intrigued me, & I found the sounds & visuals of experimental industrial artists (SPK, Swans, Dissecting Table, Nocturnal Emissions, etc.) to be awe-inspiring. So, in late February of 2013, I decided to start something of my own: Mind of God. All of you are invited to come along on this ride with me; you just might enjoy it. I know I do. 
 -  Jason A. Pizzolato 

Some of the reception that I've gotten thus far:

"Nice stuff! Not often do you hear metal dudes with an electronic music sensibility.....I dig it." -  Tristan Shone (AUTHOR & PUNISHER)

"Mind of God has things working.....onto something VERY cool." - Josh Eustis (NINE INCH NAILS/PUSCIFER/TELEFON TEL AVIV)

"Sound is good!" - Kenji Siratori

"F*cking love it.....well done." - Paul Gillis (DRUG HONKEY/KLLU/MORGUE SUPPLIER)

"Nice sounds, very crunchy!" - John Everall (TACTILE)

"I think it's killer. Minimal, weird, & beat-heavy. What more do you need? And the Mind of God video stuff is great -- sick footage..!" - Mike IX Williams (EYEHATEGOD/CORRECTIONS HOUSE/ARSON ANTHEM/THE GUILT 0F...)

"I dig the Mind of God stuff.....looking forward to hearing more!" - Tannon Penland (LOINCLOTH/GAUCHISTE)
