Partial History
The Eugenics Council began about 7 years ago under the name Total waste of
Time, about 5 years ago they changed it to the Eugenics Council. Since that
time E.C. has been playing shows across the U.S. Rosemary has been featured on
the Susan Lawly release "Extreme Music From Woman", and published in Feral
House's Apocalypse Culture II. E.C. along with Dr. Randall Phillip headlined
Chicago's Expo of the Extreme, sharing the bill with Motorhead, Genitortures,
jello Biafra, Mary Ramone, Electric Hellfire Club, Fang, and several others.
E.C. has recently played Houstons Dead Audio Music Fest, and has just finished
finished a string of shows with improv noise artists Cock esp. E.C. currently
has 2 cds out on Menchenfeind Productions, both splits with Dr. Randall
Phillip, the infamous author of the extreme hate zine "fuck", and contributor
to Answer Me. A now sold out 7' split record with Japanese electronic artist
Facialmess was also released on menschenfeind productions. E.C. have a # of
releases that will be out shortly, including a full length cd, split 7''s with

can get to produce an interesting sound, the majority of the sounds produced
come from unique custom designed instruments constructed by E.C.
reviews
One review described the Eugenics Council as
: "brimming with malevolence, and so are her lyrics: "I don't want a fucking
job/I don't want a goddamn fucking baby/shit, shit, shit". I'm sure if I could
make out any of the other vocals they would follow suit. The first half of the
disk sounds like a hardcore band set up to record in an industrial factory, and
they are losing their voices and blowing their amps trying to drown out the
noise. Some of the tracks have a surprisingly melodic appeal, with a clean bass
guitar, undistorted drum machine and clear vocals. As if to discard any melodic
complacency, this soon gives way to brazenly spite-filled noise, overlapped
with equally malicious screams. This is not for then weak-eared."
editor of "Waste Combat" had this to say: "Rosemary Malign's vocal style is
unique, she could scream about child-fucking and make the audience think it's
normal, and then in one sentence hit them over the head with their own reality.
She practices word-hammering, complex simplicity. De-sensitizing the listner to
the subject matter through repetition and word-play, and then suddenly, plain
as day, she serves them up a foul and harsh truth, even if it is her your own."
A review of Rosemary's track on the Extreme Music From Women c.d. (Gary
Simmons): "First off is Rosemary Malign's 'No You Listen', the best 'song'
title in this collection by far without yet having heard a single note. Ooh!
That made me jump, wasn't expecting that! The sound of a mainframe computer (a
Cray 2 or 3 with any luck) tied to the back of a truck and taken for a scrape
down the dirt track, bouncing to its piecemeal decimation. The initial
child-like vocals are almost Ramptonesque ..A deranged cacophony of the very
highest quality. Wonderfull! What a great way to open the album. "
Panicsville
PANICSVILLE (Nihlist Records) with BRAIN TRANSPLANT and METALLUX PANICSVILLE is
primarily a one-man outfit –that man being Andy Ortmann- with occasional
appearances by a rotating crew of sonic terrorists. Over the course of the last
several years, PANICSVILLE has released three full-length albums, a
cut-and-paste record (in a limited edition of 100, Ortmann collected and then
destroyed ‘crates and crates’ of records and then reassembled them in a
playable fashion), and several striking singles. OrtmannÂ’s tastes seem to run
the gamut as his pieces are occasionally beautiful, and at other times
terrorizing. But beyond the always-compelling compositional elements, Ortmann
also exhibits a profound concern with the conceptual capabilities of his craft.
Not simply content with musical experimentation, Ortmann attempts to push
‘consumers’ beyond preconceived or assumed notions of track sequencing,
formatting and even packaging in an attempt to synthesize each project into
itÂ’s own abstracted entirety.
