Fragment King

break//drone//hack: the fragment king is a breakbeat renegade relentlessly combining digital beat sequencing with the force of death and doom metal guitars as well as the insanity of power electronics noise and vocals. all songwriting, production and performance is conducted by mark kammerbauer.

Flesh//Machines//Software: Fragment King began as the continuation of freejazz-grindcore band New Leadership, with electronic and digital means, but with the aesthetic of heavy guitars constantly in mind. After a first vinyl appearance in 1999 and beginning of live actions in 2001, the fragment king sound began to consolidate with the limited nexialist release of the LIVE AT SI cassette tape in 2002 and the SIMPLE THINGS ARE OFTEN MONSTROUS split vinyl release with nexicon. In continuation, fragment king employed guitars, bass guitars, vocals and software on the largely unreleased pathomechanical and anatomic recordings throughout 2003 and 2004, pieces of which have been appearing on compilations throughout the underground, in addition to various remixes.

Crushing atmospheric heavyness, grinding compression of time/space, elegiac out-of-body movement and radical audible butchery. A personal discourse on destiny: The questions are the answers.
