Dark ambient pioneer, Stygian drone legend and near-mythical entity LUSTMORD pierces the veil once more with `Much Unseen Is Also Here'; the artist's latest, solo full-length release in a formidable, 40-year creative career at the forefront of industrial music.

Urged by Cosey Fanni Tutti and Chris Carter of Throbbing Gristle to make music that captured his distinctive aura, Brian Williams assumed the mantle of Lustmord in 1980 and began working with sound because the music he wanted to listen to simply didn't exist.

Lustmord released his third album, `Heresy' in 1989, which became a milestone in the industrial scene and is now universally regarded as the origin of the dark ambient genre.

35 years later, `Much Unseen Is Also Here' continues the legacy established by `Heresy' and echoes its enthralling narrative arc.

Sequenced in three distinct parts; `Much Unseen Is Also Here' is meant to be listened to in a single, uninterrupted sitting; transporting listeners away to an uncompromising parallel world that only exists within the music, before casting them back out at the end, forever changed.

Based in L.A. since 1994, Lustmord has also contributed as composer and sound designer to the music for iconic film and television properties including `The Crow', `Strange Days', `From Dusk Till Dawn', `Underworld' and more recently, FX's `Fear The Walking Dead' series and `Taxi Driver' writer Paul Schrader's 2017 film `First Reformed'.

Still determined to push at the boundaries of sound, genre and media; Lustmord has also contributed to the soundscapes of video games such as Assassin's Creed, League of Legends and, quite fittingly, 2022's H.R.

Geiger-inspired, survival-horror game, Scorn.
