Infidel?/Castro!
Infidel? / Castro! is an experimental band from Philadelphia. A collaboration between Colin Marston and George Korein, their style incorporates ambient, metal, IDM, digital collage and live instrumentation, all in a dark context. After a CD-R of early recordings, Infidelicacy, they put out their first official CD, Case Studies in Bioentropy, in November 2001. It featured concepts such as "The Violence of Hygiene" reflected in a collage of voice samples. They began performing live as a duo, swapping between guitar, bass, drumset and keyboard as well as using looping and a drum machine. A split 12" record with Friendly Bears was released by Epicene Sound Systems and Rice Control, featuring "The 49-Day Period Between Lives", a collage combining modified materials from Case Studies in Bioentropy and their following double CD sequel, Bioentropic Damage Fractal. They recorded two Suicide Ballads for the 4-way split CD Contre Tous released by Dead Mind Records in Holland. These tracks were a significant departure, featuring more song-like elements and morbid lyrics spoken or sung through vocoder. The latter of the two, Exposing One's Belly to Predators, was a love song loosely based on the real-life story of German cannibals Armin Menschenfresser and Bernd Juergen. They toured the US for two weeks in January 2004 as a trio with ex-Time of Orchids drummer Keith Abrams. Bioentropic Damage Fractal was finally released in April 2005 on Crucial Blast Records. The band has been on indefinite hiatus ever since. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
