John Bergin's solo project C17H19N03 (the atomic formula for morphine) gives me
shivers every time I get up the nerve to listen to it. The music literally
bubbles out of the jewel case and seeps onto the floor giving birth to
spiraling chaos entities who try and eviscerate my flesh with their talons. The
entire album consists of nothing short of a orchestral masterpiece set in some
unforgotten umbral palace of tyranny where daemons reign and humanity is
interminably enslaved. C17H19N03 is just about as close to post modern
industrial music movement as you can get without actually having been involved
with the initial gestation of the genre. John even includes his own personal
adaptation of STG's 'Razor Raped With Pain' in with the rest of the cacophony.
This is the kind of music that will end up giving you nightmares for weeks as
you begin to wake up screaming, covered in sweat and babbling in tongues.
