Murder Happens

The enemy is mainstream!

About Me

Blending the Industrial ferocity of Ministry and the moody ambiance of The Cure, Murder Happens has brought a haunting yet crushing dynamic sound to the St. Louis music scene.
Paul Wood, drummer and driving force behind Murder Happens, assembled the line up of Brian Merry on guitars, Natalie Huggins on vocals/synth, and Mike Cracchiolo (of The Bureau ) on bass/vocals. Mike Scaccia (ex-Ministry) and En Esch (Pigface, ex-KMFDM) also collaborated with Paul and Murder Happens for the still unreleased full length record due out later this year.
With this solidified line-up, the band brings a powerful and much-needed dose of underground grind and atmosphere onstage. From the melodic yet deeply morbid sound of Anchor and Teardrop Garden to the vicious assault of Neural Defect, Sterile and Trust.
Murder Happens brings the sound of A Perfect Circle, KMFDM, Skinny Puppy, and The Legendary Pink Dots full circle into a distinctly modern yet unforgettable sound and performance that must be seen and heard to be understood.
