On November 13th, a Saturday afternoon. John Balance [Geff Rushton] co-founder and lead singer of the UK based experimental industrial project COIL was inebriated and fell from the 2nd floor landing of his house to the floor some 15ft below. Peter Christopherson was in the front room and found John unconcious. He was rushed to the hospital but his condition deteriorated and he died soon after.

John Balance 16 Feb 1962 - 13 Nov 2004

COIL is and always has been one of my largest influences in doing music. This incident has been like a death in my own family. I feel crushed by this wieght. My heart and soul goes out to Peter and the rest of John's family in this trying time...
COIL is establishing a Book Of Condolances for John's memory. If you would like to contribute feel free to email bookofcondolence@thresholdhouse.com

Groundzer0 is being sent to Wire within the next few weeks. Expect a release within the first half of 2005. Also I just completed two remixes for GLIS on the Alpha Matrix label. One as Noise Process and another as re:course. They should be released in 2005 as well. Currently I am working on another b-side from around the same time frame as End Of Line. The plan is to submit it to Alpha Matrix for an upcoming compilation. Expect to hear a lot from NP next year! Stay tuned..

The restructuring is coming along well. I have sent a list of wav's that i need to Tim so he can find them and get the older songs updated. Currently I am working on "Aftermath", which was planned as the final song on the record. Also I ust finished programming another track and here is the link:-Half life- This will be the last demo snippet i'm going to post for the record. I think we have a good amount of demos on the Groundzer0 page so everyone has a good idea of the direction of the record. Plus i'm reworking the older titles so every track on the actual album is going to be slightly different than the original demo.
In other news, I found info about a Mentallo & The Fixer Tribute being compiled right now. Myself and Tim being really huge Mentallo fans, I signed us up and we will be working on the track "Narcotik Calling". I started it yesterday and it will be finished by the end of the month.

Lots of work to do right now so give us some time and you will not be dissapointed!

The album is titled "Distance", and it features 12 new tracks at about 68min running time. more info on this soon..

we are sorry to announce the Oct show was cancelled by the promoter...


2003.08.18

We want to thank Franck @Das Bunker for having us out to play last Friday. It was a great show and everyone had alot of fun. Cannot believe how hot it was in Cali though, we wanted to get away from Phoenix because of the heat and it was just as muggy and humid out there. Here are some live pics of the show taken by michael's wife Keri..


2003.06.15

Just received news that SYNAPSE has been released by Wire as of the first of this month! Sorry again about the delays and thanks again to John Reuss and all the musicians that submitted remixes. A few of you will be receiving your promo copies soon!

We have a had a bit of downtime for NP in the last month or so because of a malfunctioning processor fan. It will be fixed soon though and we will continue on the HYMN cover and the remaining Groundzer0 tracks. Also we are considering doing a few west coast shows soon to support SYNAPSE if we can find the time and resources. More news to come!


2003.05.20

Big update this time, sorry for the delay. First off we received some news from Wire about SYNAPSE. They are expecting to release the CD at the end of this month, there was quite a delay at the pressing factory as it seems this year is a very big one for music. Wire is expecting our CD and the new ESR to arrive at the same time.

April was very hectic and we didn’t get much done musically. Our day jobs took most our time and then the Fractured Studio computer had some issues and it stalled Groundzer0. This month though things are looking up, the FS comp should be up again soon and there are about 4 songs to go on GZ. Also we have expanded the studio to fit another computer (soil.lodge) and I am using it to continue re:course and PDS as well as touch up on NP stuff.

Wire has let us know that Groundzer0 will be planned to release early next year, along with the planned t-shirts. Also the single for the album which is “Interruption”, is currently being remixed by Cut.Rate.Box & I, Parasite.

Lastly, Suicide Commando will not release our rmx on the Face of Death single but we were told it would be used on a compilation in the future as well as placed on his website for download.

That’s all the news for now, we apologize to everyone who is anxious to hear SYNAPSE, we are getting restless ourselves. Keep an eye on this website in the coming weeks for more info (maybe a local show) and also I’ll have some samples of the re:course and PDS projects on their respective sites very soon. Thanks for listening. `m. renfield


2003.03.30

Finally we were able to upload the preview tracks of Groundzer0, also the artwork is finished and some examples are on the GZ page We are still awaiting info on the release of Synapse and if the NP remix of Suicide Commando's "Face of Death" is going to be on the single. Anyhow, listen to the tracks and we'll be back soon!


2003.02.06

Good news for everyone this time. We have been extremly busy in the studio for the past couple months. We unvieled a couple new songs for the Das Ich show and they went over wonderfully. We are going to have some MP3 previews availible on our MEDIA page by this weekend. Also there is all new art for Groundzer0, I am posting a couple desktops in the SOIL section that will give you an idea of what is to come. Lastly, the release date for SYNAPSE is going to be in May. I would have been sooner but the damn post office lost our initial package that we sent to Wire just after Christmas. The good news is that we are pushing to get a new Noise Process T-shirt done and availible at the time of SYNAPSE release.Here is a preview:




...and look for the new preview tracks that should be availible by next week!



2002.12.13

SYNAPSE is finally finished and on it’s way to Wire. Tim caught a cold there for a couple weeks and that delayed the vocals for the two new remixes of Dying World (Dead World & Groundzer0). Last weekend though, he laid down the new vocals and did a final mixdown and I finished up setting the text on John’s artwork and all the final work will be on it’s way to Germany by the time you are reading this.

SYNAPSE DISCLAIMER: In an early news update that we sent to Wire, we noted that Cut Rate Box, Project X, and Sang Rael were going to be on the release. Near the cut off date for SYNAPSE though we saw that Cut Rate Box and Sang Rael were not going to make it in time do to time and postal issues..and we never heard a reply from Project X. There for we are going to try to get a Cut Rate Box remix of “Interruption”, off of our forthcoming CD “Groundzer0”. Also Sang Rael has done an excellent remix of Incarnate and we hope to put it on a release as well. Also it was said early on that “re:course”, was going to a mix on SYNAPSE. We want to let everyone know that the re: mix that I intended actually evolved into “Dead World”.

Tim and I are currently in the studio regularly with “Groundzer0”, and we are going to set up some demo tracks available in the media section very soon. Also, just like “Neural Code”, all the artwork is going to be done by soil and we will put up some examples of it asap. We will update the new again when we get a release date for SYNAPSE.


2002.11.17

Just a quick update since Tim & I have been exceptionally busy. "Neural Code" has hit pretty big world-wide. We are being asked to do many shows and do remixes and whatnot, so your sure to be seeing more of us. Our next release is going to be very special, we are currently working out details with Wire. For now though i can let you know the basics.... Our next release is to be a remix CD of "Neural Code". Thus far we have recieved several remixes and seval more are being created. We don't want to release the names of the remixing bands until the list has been decided. We CAN however release the name of the CD which is going to be (tentativly)

S Y N A P S E (the dead world e.p.)

Which means it is going to highlight our track "Dying World", as well as a few other songs from the CD AND special remixes of the new songs from our forthcoming second full length CD which we are hoping will be finished and released early next year.More news very soon. Thanks for listening..
