Brian "Lustmord" Williams is a musician credited with creating the dark ambient genre with the influential album, "Heresy" - a relentlessly dark work that sounds like a journey through Hell. Dark ambient is a subgenre of ambient music which emerged in the 1980s and 1990s with the introduction of new synthesizer and sampling technology in the electronic music genre and other technical advances in music. ...

He started recording with the industrial ensemble SPK in the early 1980s. He utilizes infrasound -- inaudible frequencies below 20 Hz, which have been known to cause feelings of awe or fear. Lustmord has extracted field recordings made in crypts, caves, and slaughterhouses, and combined it with occasional ritualistic incantations and Tibetan horns. His treatments of acoustic phenomena encased in digitally expanded bass rumbles have a dark ambient quality. Some of Lustmord's most notable collaborations include Robert Rich on the critically acclaimed "Stalker", Jarboe's "Men Album" and several re-mixes on previous albums, and experimental sludge group The Melvins on "Pigs Of The Roman Empire". SPK, formed in 1978 in Germany, but later based in Australia, was a 1980s and early 1990s industrial music and noise music act once featuring Graeme Revell who later went on to compose soundtracks for film and television, most notably, the incidental music for CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. ...

An early side project of his, Terror Against Terror (with Andrew Lagowski), was a hard techno group that incorporated many samples from films of gunfire or other military activity. The record was originally intended to be the first part of a trilogy, the ultimate idea of which was to make each successive installment noisier; the third and final record was to have been pure noise. Unfortunately, the first record languished for two years without release and had lost some of its innovative sting by the time it appeared in print, courtesy of Dark Vinyl.
