HAPPY END

Brighter Death Now is the reason that I feel in love with noise music. The Godfather of death industrial, Roger Karmanik, is also the mastermind behind the Swedish cult label Cold Meat Industry. I was lucky enough to see BDN live on Friday, June 13th, 2003 at the Empty bottle in Chicago for a rare North American appearance. A celebration of misfortune, BDN also shared the stage with Slogan and Proiekt Hat and released an exclusive LP bearing the same name.

Amazing sets all around from each artist, highlights beyond the music included John Balistreri from SLOGUN pouring an entire beer over some girls head and Roger running around with a disposable camera flashing it in people's faces. I never thought that the one of me would ever see the light of day until I was watching this video he compiled for Happy End.
