released material on numerous independent record labels, such as
American Tapes, Hanson Records, RRRecords, Load Records, Troubleman

Fernow works primarily with a microphone and amplifier, and little else.
On some releases he has been joined by Ben Bartlett, Richard Dunn, Jeff

BLOODYMINDED
(credit: Ben Syverson)
BLOODYMINDED is a heavy electronics band that was formed in New York, in
1995, after the disbanding of the group Intrinsic Action (founded in
1984, in Chicago). Their live shows are extremely energetic, and layers
of screeching analog synthesizer, aggressively delivered vocals, and a
copious amount of feedback, characterize their sound. They have released
four primary studio albums (“Trophy” - 1995, BloodLust! - “True Crime” -
2002, BloodLust! - “Gift Givers” - 2005, BloodLust! - “Magnetism” -
2006, BloodLust!) and four singles (“West” - 1996, BloodLust! -
“Mothercare” - 2003, BloodLust! - (“Live: Behind the Green Door” – 2005,
Chondritic Sound/BloodLust! “Live” [enhanced with video] - 2006,
BloodLust!). Their next CD, “Within The Walls,” is slated for a summer
2007 release, and it follows the more experimental re-mix project,
“Phases : Two,” which was released in January 2007.
While BLOODYMINDED operate within a small, established subgenre of the
noise scene, their sound is broadly informed by bands such as their
industrial forbearers (SPK, Throbbing Gristle, Einsturzende Neubauten,
Whitehouse, Mauthausen Orchestra, Sutcliffe Jugend, M.B., etc.); New
York Pre + Post-Punk and Noise Rock (Suicide, Swans, Missing Foundation,
etc.); and British hardcore and grindcore (Discharge, Rudimentary Peni,
Napalm Death, Extreme Noise Terror, Head of David, etc.).
BLOODYMINDED has performed with a diverse range of artists, including
traditional power-electronics groups, noise artists of various types,
experimental, improv, and avant-garde artists, gothic and industrial
groups, and hardcore, metal, and punk bands. BLOODYMINDED played a
memorable show in the basement at the No Fun Fest in Red Hook, Brooklyn,
in March 2005, and they were invited to return for a main stage
performance in March of 2006.
BLOODYMINDED is currently based in Chicago, although key members live in
Brooklyn, New York, and Toulouse, France.
