C.O.G. transformed out of a previous solo project called MOLT, which was my project through the mid 90s & released a tape called: MOLT - Noise Pollution (if anyone has a copy of this tape, please get in touch!). After deciding to go completely electronic in 1998 while living in Oakland CA, I changed the name to C.O.G. (Casualties Of Greed) C.O.G. has performed at techno-parties, clubs, coffe houses & random shows through out the Bay Aria in California, a couple other states, along with several punk and indistrial shows & random events in the Chicago area, after moving here in 2000. I have put out a couple tapes & cds through out the years including: Prototype 1, Prototype 2 on cassette & a cd of re-mixed tracks, which I have put on this page. C.O.G. has been active & inactive throught out the years & its been a couple years since C.O.G. has performed but it appears COG has made a lasting impression on many people because still today people ask me whats going on with C.O.G. or asking me for a tape/CD... So, I would like to thank those people right now because they remind me of my calling as a musician & help keep the spirit of C.O.G. alive... because of them, C.O.G. is still breathing & more is sure to surface in the future from C.O.G.!
FREE THE MUSIC!!!
C.O.G. IS NOT A CONSUMER PRODUCT.
GO AHEAD, DOWNLOAD IT ALL!!!
I have put this page up so everyone can download the trax, & enjoy them... & we'll see what else comes of it..
C.O.G. is not signed or working with any labels...
Ive worked with a couple independent labels in the past to put some tracks on some compilations & also release my proto-type 3 but the labels never completed there projects or terminated themselves in all cases (maybe its the hex of the C.O.G. hehee)... I think my stuff is better than a lot of the new bands that labels are releasing in the electro/industrial scene & every one who has heard C.O.G. that I know of, loves it... I just havnt done any outreach to get signed... Ive been just sitting on at least 2 quality albums for several years now... so any responsible independent labels who are seriously interested & want to help.. GET IN TOUCH.
As of now.. I'm planning to put out ProtoType 3 CDr's my self so keep your eyes pealed, kido's.. !!
Post-C.O.G.-
One of the things that inspired me to put this page up is........
In 2007.. I was singing for a short lived Industrial project called WATUSI DEATH. check out our MySpace page & listen to a couple of the trax at:

Currently, in 2008 I have joined the Chicago industrial band JILT, playing electronic "upright" percussion. The band is doing GREAT & I'm having a BLAST!
