– Rimbaud
Chthonic Force is the joint project of Vadge Moore (ex-Dwarves / Phoenix Thunderstone) and Wendy Van Dusen (Neither/Neither World). Venturing deep into the realms of Industrial, Power Electronics, Experimental, Noise and Ambient, their work has traversed not only the boundaries of musical genre, but conventional morality as well. Lyrically, the band is entrenched in the iniquitous and sinister; lyrical themes have included the extolling of mass murder, sadism, nihilism, misanthropy, Social Darwinism, and Bacchanalian debauchery in general.
Since the band’s inception in 1999, Chthonic Force has released two full-length albums (1999’s Chthonic Force and 2003’s Agathodaemon), a split single (Mouth Pigs), and appeared on several compilations. Their collaborations have included work with luminaries such as Boyd Rice (NON), Peter Sotos (Whitehouse), Monte Cazazza (TG / Industrial Records), Cole Palme (Faktrix) and Thomas Thorn (Electric Hellfire Club).
