ABOUT

”Lustmord is the Gustave Doré of music. Painting magical pictures with a sound that is so vast, it gives space for your own imagination.” Karin Park 

Growing up amongst the mountains of North Wales, Brian has always been an outsider.
Active as Lustmord since 1980 he was a pivotal figure and pioneer in the early industrial music scene in the UK. A former member of SPK during arguably their most crucial era, he went on to work with Throbbing Gristle members Chris & Cosey and appeared on early albums by Current 93 and Nurse With Wound amongst others.

After relocating to Los Angeles in 1993, he worked on dozens of motion picture soundtracks including The Crow, Underworld and Paul Schrader’s First Reformed, as well as on several video game, television scores and solo albums. He has also contributed to and collaborated with artists as varied as the Melvins, Clock DVA, Jarboe, John Balance of Coil, Paul Haslinger (Tangerine Dream), Wes Borland (Limp Bizkit), Puscifer and more, including Grammy Award-winners Tool from their much acclaimed efforts 10,000 Days and Fear Inoculum.

He creates a relentless primordial sound with an otherworldly resonance that speaks to hidden dreams and feels like a door to a parallel world.

Lustmord live is an all-encompassing experience with hypnotic visuals, extremely deep bass and ritualistic instrumentation that quite literally shakes both the building and your soul.

“My sound is not dark, but deep. It is a light that shines into the darkness”.
