Brighter Death Now is the artist name under which Roger Karmanik, the founder of the Swedish record lable Cold Meat Industry, releases Death Industrial music.

Throughout its history, Karmanik has kept his music's thematic elements focused on such topics as child molestation, sadism, and psychosis. Cold Meat Industry is a Swedish record label that specializes in Dark Ambient, Death Industrial, Noise music, and Neo-Classical. ... Death industrial can be described as having much of the same source sounds as power electronics, but used to create a deep atmospheric sound with some thematic similarity to doom or death metal. ...

Now then, here's that BDN Crass quote in full, as delivered with venom by Eve Libertine on Stations of the Crass back in 1980: "Out from your palaces princes and queens, out from your churches you clergy you Christs, I'll neither live nor die for your dreams, I'll make no subscription to your paradise".
Rumbling dirty bass notes loop hypnotically until you're seduced in a trance, while Roger prepares to violate you every which way with his verbal and sonic abuse.
