ASMODEUS X - ProfilesArchive

About Me

Founded in 1999 Asmodeus X quickly ignited the electro underground in the urban-technocracy of Houston, Texas. Synthesizing the electronic with the esoteric, Asmodeus X began producing high-energy, EBM and Esoteric Darkwave music. They were soon playing shows regularly throughout Texas, and receiving much notoriety via regional press, including the Critics Choice Vote for Best Industrial/Noise Act of 2000 by the Houston Press Music Awards. The "Asmodeian sound" is an eclectic one. From their neo-classical and minimalist beginnings with the instrumental "Cult of the Nassarene E.P.", to Fritz Lang-inspired symphonics apparent on the early "Nova Futura" singles, they have traversed styles while always maintaining an essential quality, that is immediately recognizable,darkly compelling, hypnotic, inspiring and self-reflexive.Asmodeus X has shared stages with: Psyclon 9, Cruxshadows, Snog, Cesium 137, Android Lust, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, Sunshine Blind, Attrition, Diva Destruction, The Last Dance, Provision, and more.SIDE-LINE: "A brilliant mix of Trance and EBM...an asset to any DJ's collection." -DJ23GOTHIC BEAUTY: "Instantly addictive, beautifully produced, and visually stunning." -PoseidonHEATHEN HARVEST: "In the current world of EBM where so many artists focus on a formulaic beat to the detriment of ideological content sufficed in a limpid statement, this is a breath of fresh air, albeit sulfuric." -Erin PowellGRAVE CONCERNS: "Esoteric and seductive, full of antiquated yet surprisingly relevant ideals, that lend nothing but an exciting power and an edge that many artists are so desperately lacking, Morningstar: shines in a world of repetitive and unimaginative musical darkness." -Jeremy Eckhart (Devil Boy)DARK REALMS: "Morningstar marks the dawn of an illustrious new era for Asmodeus X." -Camille AmbroseRead: Luciferian ExplorationGEAR LIST: SEQUENCING/SAMPLING: Roland MC 909 Groovebox Boss DR 5 Dr Rhythm Station Korg ES1 SamplerKEYBOARDS: Roland Juno D Korg Karma Korg MS 2000 MicroKorg Emu Nord LeadPERCUSSION: Roland TD-7 Drum Pads Roland SPD-S Drum Sampler Emu-Drum ModuleVOCALS: Sure SM 155 Mic Alesis Akira Effects Processor
