*****

When you meet Christopher Jon, it is not a stretch of the imagination to see that this is the man behind the grinding atmospheric industrial sounds of I, Parasite. After two albums on a small indie label (1999's debut Turin and 2000's followup, Horseslayer), Christopher released I, Parasite's epic, On This Cold Floor (2003) on his own DARKVISIONMEDIA label. OTCF received critical acclaim from around the world, and led to Christopher working on several projects with producer/guitarist Rob Caggiano, including Cradle Of Filth's, Thornography, contributing synth and noise textures.

Christopher is currently finishing up I, Parasite's third full length album, The Sick Are Not Healing for 2008.


Praise for On This Cold Floor:

"On This Cold Floor is I, Parasite's most evolved offering, as layered electronics, well placed guitars, and pained vocals come together on the band's most introspective and emotional release to date. (9/10)"
- Outburn Magazine

"Deepest sound-ravines, sometimes melancholic and with fragile acoustic guitar, sometimes groovy and crashing, sometimes exploding like an erupting volcano - it's an emotionally touching roller-coaster ride between aggressive moments and pure hopelessness. ... This is an exciting album far away from the ordinary."
- Zillo Musik Magazine

"I have known the name of I, Parasite for years, but I've never really had the opportunity to hear his music. Now it's done, and it's a really good surprise, I really appreciate [it]. ... A very diversified album with multiple facets bathed in a strange atmosphere. Uplifting. (PF: 7/8 TSF: 8)"
- Side-Line Magazine

""On The Cold Floor" [is I, Parasite's] third and simultaneously most extraordinary album. ... Fans of this genre can detect new details everytime they listen to "On This Cold Floor" and therefore have a long lasting joy with this album. (7.6/10 - average of 10 reviewers)"
- Sonic Seducer
- Also selected as album of the month in the 11/4/03 issue
