A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO AN OBSESSION

Atrax Morgue started his sick activity in 1992. It was in a summer night, i was out with some boring friends, they talked about boring things and i was full-immerged outside all:

I was thinking about my project's name and then i found the name ATRAX MORGUE (note: ATRAX comes from: "Atrax Robustus" aka "Funnel Web Spider" the most dangerous/lethal spider in the world). It sounds nice and i decided for it. It was also good because it reflects my obsession for spiders and for DEATH.

The first powerelectronic record i listened was "Beyond Unknown Pleasures" by the italian sadistic project "The Sodality"mastermined by Andrea Cernotto. I was intrigued by this record: I liked it so much, than i contacted the guy behind this project and finally i decided to meet him. He was a nice guy, and we shared some interest in common: I remember he shown me an incredible collection of De Sade's books:

Another record of my first approach to powerelectronics was WHITEHOUSE's "Dedicated to Peter Kurten" ; it was shoking and at first i didn't understand it at all: But then i started to listen to others WHITEHOUSE lp's and at last i was finding myself totally into them. Ohter bands i was listen to was Genocide Organ and Brighter Death Now.

I started my first recording session in summer 1992, at a friend's home, with a friend's equipment. "In Search of Death" was recorded in a week, and i used just a keyboard, a multi effect and voice. (this is definitely the current ATRAX MORGUE equipment: analog keyboard / multi-effect).

So, obsessions has found a way to comes out. Through violent and cold analogue electronic sounds, and my own voice. I had/have a million of obsessions/manias, all around the most important: DEATH. MURDER,ISOLATION,PSYCHOSIS,PORNOGRAPHY,NECROPHILIA,PATHOLOGY,FETISHES,DISEASES, and tons of other disturbing subjects are a matter of inspiration and a way to explore human's most deepest desires and perversions.

In 1998 i started an ATRAX MORGUE side project called MORDER MACHINE; the main difference is that here i used some harsh rythms mixed with the usual analog noise and voice; i recorded the first tape "HappybirthDeath" and a second "DeathShow" that i released later on compact disc; the project has a good feedback and now i'm in the process to work on the second MORDER MACHINE CD release.

Through the years, ATRAX MORGUE have developed his style in making noise aberrations; since it was more rough and straight, now is more refined, minimal and scheming in the structure. My personal life'ss sssick experiences and my mental decay have contributed a lot in any ATRAX MORGUE release and efforts. I think that my last works shown exactly that i am become an obsessed schizophrenic-paranoid: and of course a chronic nerves sufferer.

I'm still disgusted by humans and i found them useless: like myself. The difference behind me and a human is that i have no problems to admit it. That i'm nothin than a useless still-born creature. By now, after 31 years of life on planet earth, i have reached a massive and devastating dose of nihilism and rejection about ANYthing i do. To me, the most creative act is DO NOTHING. I can just take care of my corpse, before entering inside a beautiful fresh coffin, finally DEAD.
