SKNKVR is pronounced Skin Carver. I make power electronics, dark ambient, noise, death industrial, whatever. Give it a listen.

SKOLD waylays 2011 with his first full-length solo album in 15 years. Delivering a snarky CD single prelude on April 12, setting the stage for a May 10th full Album release - SKOLD steps up once again, supplying sonic solvent for the huffing social cynics.

Gestating through production and composition with such artists as KMFDM and Marilyn Manson, producing feats like the #1 Billboard charting album The Golden Age of Grotesque [feat. "mOBSCENE" nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.] and the critically acclaimed Eat Me, Drink Me, SKOLD arrived prodigiously throughout 2009, having dispatched the album SKOLD vs. KMFDM and three new solo teaser tracks: "I Will Not Forget", "Bullets Ricochet" and "A Dark Star" garnished with validation by accolades of TV placement in shows like NCIS and FlashForward, and rabid fan consumption.

The product of an active 2010, the May album and its first single, "Suck", are munitions ready to go and renowned label Metropolis Records has signed on as gunner to make sure those salvos hit on target. The April CD single raises a flag taken up by cohorts and allies like Combichrist, 16Volt and Front Line Assembly who have shown up to contribute their own remixes of the track.

Always one to fight on all fronts, 2010-turn-2011 will also see SKOLD continuing with the new Scandinavian metal/hard rock supergroup, Doctor Midnight & The Mercy Cult. Already finished recordings with the line up of underground heroes Hank von Hell [Turbonegro], Anders Odden [Celtic Frost, Satyricon], Audun Stengel [Apoptygma Berzerk] and David Husvik [Extol] look set to form an album band of brothers in the new year.

These releases and more lie in waiting for a smug and self-assured 2011 and all she carries with her.

Since 1996, I, Parasite has been making aggressive, atmospheric electronic-rock sounds. Formed in New York City, co-founders Justin Butts and Christopher Jon released their debut Turin on a small indie label. After parting ways in 2001, Chris went on to release On This Cold Floor (2003) on his own DARKVISIONMEDIA label. The album received critical acclaim and led to Chris working with producer Rob Caggiano (Anthrax, Volbeat), contributing synth and noise textures to the Cradle Of Filth album, Thornography.

I, Parasite's third full length album The Sick Are Not Healing, was released near the end of 2009, again on DARKVISIONMEDIA. The album featured a guest appearance by Caggiano on the song "The Stone Doctor." I, Parasite played numerous shows with an assortment of metal and harsh-electronic bands (including Amenra, A Storm Of Light, Surachai, Prometheus Burning, and Hecate) to support the album.

In 2011 Chris relocated to Los Angeles, and is currently working on I, Parasite's fourth album, Österlanden.
