Legendary sound artist Lustmord will play his second show in almost three decades at the 2010 Unsound Festival in Krakow. This announcement is certain to send shockwaves amongst Lustmord’s devoted fan base across Europe.
Brian Williams, the man behind Lustmord, began working under that name in 1980, and since then his dark sound sculptures have been highly influential not only in music genres such as ambient and industrial, but also in film and games.
Oppressive and frightening, richly textured and painstakingly produced, Lustmord’s music has also made use of field recordings from locations such as caves, crypts and slaughterhouses. He has released 14 albums under the name Lustmord, and for many 1990's “Heresy” stands as Lustmord’s key work, acknowledged as having given birth to the “dark ambient” genre
 He has collaborated with the likes of Tool, The Melvins, Chris & Cosey (Throbbing Gristle), SPK, Coil, Paul Haslinger (Tangerine Dream), Robert Rich, Clock DVA, Current 93 and Nurse with Wound amongst others. He is also a member of Puscifer, the music project of Maynard James Keenan, the lead singer of Tool and A Perfect Circle. He has done remixes for Tool, Jarboe (Swans), Venetian Snares, Lori Carson, Mortiis, Isis, Puscifer and Nadja. He has also worked for many years as a music sound designer in Hollywood,with credits on over 40 movies such as “The Crow” and “Underworld”, as well as computer games (FarCry: Instincts, Unreal Tournament III, Assassins Creed etc.).
The Unsound concert is scheduled to take place on 22.10.2010 and aptly enough is part of Unsound’s 2010 theme: Horror, the pleasure of fear and unease.
Lustmord performs on the same bill as Moritz von Oswlad Trio and Hildur Guðnadóttir + Adam Wiltzie (of Stars of The Lid). This makes what is possibly the most intriguing festival line-up of the year! The event will take place in Kino Kijow, a cinema and landmark piece of 60s communist-era architecture in Krakow.
