DEATHLESS 'Anhedonia' [Full Album]

First full-length album from UK/Australian industrial metal band Deathless, released in 1992 by Electrip. Love the bass guitar tones on this one.

These days the band is no longer active, but founding member Damian Bennett now plays with UK industrial doom band Khost. You can check them out here:

"Deathless was formed in 1989 by David Quinn (ex King Snake Roost/Madroom and others) and Damian Bennett (ex Storm of Blood) comprising two bass guitars and drum machines. the band gigged frequently around Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, before relocating to London. A deal with Electrip/KK records was struck after the recording of the 'Stasis' demo and the album 'Anhedonia' was rush-recorded at the band's expense and released in 1992.

David Quinn returned to Australia due to personal commitments and would be replaced by David Cochrane (Head of David, God etc) for live appearances. KK released the ep 'Nondeathless' which featured bass playing and contributions by Justin Broadrick (Godflesh, Head of David) which was also financed by the band.

Quinn returned for the recording of the band's next demo which was recorded at Rich Bitch studios in Birmingham and mastered by Broadrick at Avalanche. KK showed no interest in this demo so the band opted to release the next album 'Antilectual' on Black Hole Records in 1995. It was recorded and engineered in Basel, Switzerland by Manuel Liebeskind (also involved with Oxbow, Melt Banana and The Silence Cries). Bennett now played in Swiss band 16-17 as well as UK band Gauge as well as Deathless.The album featured the 'Nondeathless' ep which now featured extra material such as 'Plastikface', recorded at Rich Bitch.

The band toured and played with acts such as Zeni Geva, Alchemist, Godflesh and 16-17. A live drummer was added as were enhanced soundscapes to create a dynamic live experience much at odds with the typical alternative metal ethos.

A final slew of sessions occurred in 1998 for an album with the working title of 'The Young And The Deathless' and the final chapter of the band has yet to be written."

I remember reading it in a magazine that the working title for Evanescence by Scorn was Anhedonia, but they opted to pick another title due to this band already having an album with the same title.
