HistoryHe started recording with the industrial ensemble SPK in the early 1980s. Lustmord has extracted field recordings made in crypts, caves, and slaughterhouses, and combined it with occasional ritualistic incantations and Tibetan horns. His treatments of acoustic phenomena encased in digitally expanded bass rumbles have a dark ambient quality. Some of Lustmord's most notable collaborations include Robert Rich on the critically acclaimed "Stalker", Jarboe's "Men Album" and several re-mixes on previous albums, and experimental sludge group The Melvins on "Pigs Of The Roman Empire".
An early side project of his, Terror Against Terror (with Andrew Lagowski), was a hard techno group that incorporated many samples from films of gunfire or other military activity. The record was originally intended to be the first part of a trilogy, the ultimate idea of which was to make each successive installment noisier; the third and final record was to have been pure noise. However, the first record languished for two years without release and had lost some of its innovative sting by the time it appeared in print, courtesy of Dark Vinyl. The succeeding records were never made.
Williams consults regularly with other musicians to build custom studio equipment, and works with many Hollywood film soundtrack creators as well.
Lustmord has been working on Tool's DVD singles and has remixed versions of Schism and Parabola which were released December 20, 2005. Lustmord also contributed to Tool's 2006 album 10,000 Days.
Lustmord appeared live for the first time in 25 years as part of the high mass observance by the Church of Satan. The ceremony took place on 6-6-06. [1] A recording of the performance, entitled "Lustmord Rising (06.06.06)" has recently been released.
Lustmord released his latest album "Juggernaut" on California based label Hydra Head Records in February 2007.
