Brian Williams, a.k.a. Lustmord, is a Hollywood-based sound designer whose sonic artworks and abilities were featured and employed in over 40 movies and TV shows, games and commercials as well as in collaborations and remixes with/for the melvins, Tool, Chris & Cosey, Coil, Tangerine Dream, SPK, Robert Rich, Current 93, Nurse with Wound, Swans, Venetian Snares, Lori Carson and Moriis. And if what reads as a who's who of industrial/ambient/dark/experimental music isn't enough, he also run the SPK-founded Side Effects records from 1985 to 1999, releasing more than 30 records. On top of all of that, Lustmord has been making his own scary waveforms since 1981, releasing 11 albums, among which the 1990 "Heresy", a collection of seven frigthening and obscure drone-based pieces recorded in subterranean locations and manipulated in studio by Williamms and the great Andrew Lagowski. "Heresy" almost single-handedly launched the definition of "dark ambient" and all of its offspring, and has been constantly appearing in charts and mentioned by critics, which is why Soleilmoon decided to release the official re-issue, re-packaged and remastered. 15 years later it sounds as contemporary and as effective as it possibly gets and is still able to make a statement and teach a few things to all the kids out there who mimic the genre and the its masters just 'cause they got a computer and a broken microphone to make noise with.
