I am the spawn of what has become an electronic monster of energy in this region of this horrifying nation of ours. I am iconslave. After working with the Matt Jones, Eric Isbell and Nick LaMontia in what I consider the best electronic music venture in history; BlackCell, I found myself musically reflecting back to where BlackCell had started. Not in the realm of heavy monsterous beats or even in the realm of music. More in the realm of sound experiments, but in combination with beat oriented electo-doom.Matt and I started BlackCell together in Boulder, Colorado back in 1995. It was an amazing time for us. We quickly ingulfed ourselves in the underground electronic music scene in Denver, which at the time was pretty scarce. Even though we were writing tons of material we didn't release any of it for true public consumption until 1998, when we released a 6 song self titled EP, and there were only 50 copies all made and recorded by hand. 2 years, and many more archived tracks later we finally released our 1st CD-'Iconslaves'. Again, all made by us, by hand on CD-Rs. There is no true count to how many of these were made, but we think it was around 300. This release was also the 1st true Backwards Records release. Just months prior to the release of the 'Iconslaves' CD my long time musical counter parts Eric and Nick joined the BlackCell fold.In 2002 time lapsed for me. I had to seperate myself from the madness of what I had become in centrifuge of the Black Cell. I departed....story to be told.....A few years past and in 2004 I decided it was time to crawl my way back into the music thing. I began writing solo tracks and trying to develope my own sort of sound, without it sounding just like the old BlackCell stuff that Matt and I had written. Here it is 2006 and I still am working on the developement of that sound. I have several tracks that have some potential but they are still not ready for release. You can listen here. Let me know what you think. I am determined to try and get something out this year. Let your unconscious guide you......and all your dreams can become your most feared reality.

'Becoming Death': Last time to hit bottom...driven inside by the outDrift off fine line...past a vision altering myselfEyes flash emotion...lies burn through truthMy dark emotion forces demons at youYou cry when you realize I can't finalize my fateLife lived through stirring emotionYou walk through my discraceLooking back the truth is blindMy fucked up mind is youPushing through hate in motionI drown myself in blueConstant form of self fail formatThe self form drifts awayNothing left but to die in a dark landNot all were meant to stay-at0m(98'-'05)

Industrial, electronica, IDM, trance, noise, some Goth(mostly older stuff), and anything else that has funky beat, so I can bug out to it................................... ...................
Sounds Like:I am ic0nslave....but in reality we are all Iconslaves. Slaves to TV, media, art, music, and the most dangerous of all, greed$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Our weekness to indulge ourselves drives our lives, our lifestyles to the point of loss of self. Filling our lifeless little holes with what others have told us will make us happy. We work jobs we don't want to buy shit we don't need. We are all a bunch of slaves and we love it. After all, we do it to ourselves.

Time Hole=======Mindless Functioning

As of late, I feel like I am in a place where time doesn't matter.  Viewing things with no beginning or end.  It is like a lonely dream that seems everlasting, but still I feel content. ...
