2 day event of heavy industrial music from US and European artists, gathering together to shake the grounds of San Francisco. Taking place in the heart of San Francisco’s beautiful Chinatown, this two day event will feature monumental names of the related genres, both seasoned and new, gathered for a massive journey and dynamic blend of dark industrial sonic and visual exploration.

Thanks for the people at Love Earth Music for hosting this virtual in-studio Xiphoid Dementia set at the 2021 Northeast Noise Fest. It features 3 new in-progress tracks performed live with interactive video projections.

Today is the digital release of Prison of Hope The latest effort from Xiphoid Dementia released on vinyl in February 2020 – bandcamp release August 2020 – on Boston based label Divergent Series. Five new tracks of abstract industrial with elements of noise and power electronics.

Human Extinction Engine the split LP with Bastard Noise is now live on the Xiphoid Dementia BandCamp page.
Originally released on Scry Recordings, Existence Establishment, Terror, and Phage Tapes February 2019. Human Extinction Engine is a split record between the throttling yet textured death industrial of Xiphoid Dementia and the harsh space ambience of Bastard Noise.
Conceptually both artists unite in seeing a world where humans slowly tighten the noose around their own neck through “advancement” and “industry”. Yet each artist reflects this concept in very different ways.

Meditation Convulsions by Xiphoid Dementia

Released as a CD on Malignant Records in 2012 Secular Hymns is the follow up to Xiphoid Dementia’s landmark sophomore offering Might Is Blight. Demonstrating a more refined sound and expanding on stylistic efforts explored in previous releases Secular Hymns is yet another triptych on the dark journey of the project.
From Sideline Magazine:
Moving somewhere in between dark-ambient and industrial-noise “Secular Hymns” is an opus that catches the attention for its impressive arsenal of sounds and noises that have been used. But the main characteristic of the release concerns the global …

From Phameless Zine:
Equal parts terrifying and beautiful, this album is an assault on the ears in all of the best ways – pounding relentlessly while managing to remain musical and carry a sense of motion. A build of aggression slathered in distortion and echo builds the title track to a point of orchestral explosion and denouement, leaving space to awake and escape in the mechanical dungeon of “ Essence Concussion” – continuing the lush soundtrack to a nightmare.
This album deserves good headphones – or more so, you deserve to hear …
