In the Aerosmith video for "Amazing", a similar Chemlab poster can be seen at the end of the video.
CHEMLAB PYROMANCE MOVIE
The band later released the compilation Tape Decay in 2019. The band also performed at Cold Waves VIII, along with a number of other standalone shows. In the spring of 2018, it was announced that Chemlab would return for Cold Waves VII in Chicago, New York and Los Angeles to perform Burn Out at the Hydrogen Bar in its entirety to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the album's release. Jared Louche announced on stage during a performance on Septemin Chicago, that it would be the band's final show. ĭuring the spring of 2010, Chemlab toured North America with 16volt and Left Spine Down. In late 2007, the band toured the US for the first time in eight years, with the supporting line-up of multi-instrumentalist/programmer Gabriel Shaw (mindFIELD), Wade Alin (Christ Analogue) and Jason Bazinet ( SMP). The band played at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival and the Blacksun Festival. A third show in San Francisco on March 17, 2006, saw the band joined by fellow coldwave bands Babyland and Deathline International. The band played another one-off show, this time in New York City on January 7, 2006. Intermittent touring (2004–2012) Īfter a seven-year hiatus from the stage, Jared recreated Chemlab and, with a backing band composed of the members of electro-industrial group mindFIELD performed a one-off show in Boston, Massachusetts in August 2005. After releasing the albums Burn Out at the Hydrogen Bar (1993) and East Side Militia (1996) on Fifth Colvmn Records, Chemlab broke up in 1997 and then later reformed in 2004 to release an album entitled Oxidizer with Jared as the only original member. Chemlab toured as opening acts for Nine Inch Nails from 1990 to 1991 for the Sin tour, which was a part of the greater Pretty Hate Machine Tour. History Initial releases (1990–2004) Ĭhemlab's first release was the EP 10 Ton Pressure, in 1990. Chemlab released their debut album Burn Out at the Hydrogen Bar in 1993 and toured with acts such as White Zombie, KMFDM, Nine Inch Nails, 16volt, and GWAR. They released their first EP 10 Ton Pressure (1990), parted ways with Frank and moved to New York City, their base for the duration of their career. Influenced by the pioneers of the industrial genre, such as Throbbing Gristle, Chemlab mixed experimental sounds with rock and metal within an electronic framework. in 1989 by Dylan Thomas More, Joe Frank, and Jared Louche (then known as Hendrickson). While a bit more head-bobbin’ industrial metal than they may prefer to be perceived, it sure as shit beats writing new blah-rock with misfiring artsy yearnings.Chemlab is an American industrial rock band formed in Washington D.C. They were younger, more vital, more angry, and much more expressive back then. Not a song on this CD stands up to even the not-so-great songs on Burn Out At The Hydrogen Bar. Three of the final four tracks (excluding those zany blank tracks almost have a spark of life in them, but that’s probably only in comparison to the beating-the-dead-electric-horse previous tracks. The oh-so brilliant writing talent of one-spin-off-wonders Filter’s Geno Lenardo shines through in the complete snoozer “Pyromance.” It’s so dull, it almost makes The Crow II Soundtrack sound interesting which, of course, is impossible to do without heavy meditation. This makes God Lives Underground sound tough. It’s like Silt or Guilt, or whatever the hell that Machines of Loving Grace mid-tempo turd was. But even Broken was pretty cool, despite its leaning on tired clichés. It’s like waiting three years to have Trent release a heavy metal record. Limp rock with expansive toys used ineffectively does not an electronic pioneer make. If they’re to be billed as “tomorrow’s techno terrorists today!” or some such hogwash, you’d guess they’d be a little more, y’know, aggressive than the mid-tempo, pseudo-arty, electronically-enhanced, minimalistic pop rock on East Side Militia. You’d think after almost three years, Chemlab could come up with something a little more powerful.
