Background notes

Archive material and source history

Velvet Acid Christ started in Portland in 1990, with Bryan Erickson at the center. Their first album, 'In the Shadows of Venus,' came out in 1993 and mixed industrial noise with techno and ambient textures. That record found an audience in the underground.

In 1996, the band released 'Amnesia.' The title track became a kind of signature for them, a slower, haunting piece that stood out from their usual abrasive style. The album's graphic content about sexual violence drew protests and legal trouble, which followed the band for years.

Erickson has been open about dealing with substance abuse and mental health issues, which affected the band's output and live shows.

Their music, including songs like 'Fun With Drugs' and 'Asphixia (Wasted Days And Wasted Nights),' stays rooted in that heavy electronic sound. They still play shows for a dedicated following, but most discussions about Velvet Acid Christ eventually circle back to that 1996 album and its complicated reception.
