Metanoia

Description

IAMX is the solo project of Chris Corner; a UK songwriter, multi instrumentalist, singer, record producer and video artist. Corner was also a founding member of the electro/trip hop band Sneaker Pimps. IAMX started life in 2004 with the release of the debut album 'Kiss+Swallow'. Considered an underground classic it shaped the unique 'Glam Noir' IAMX sound and paved the way for 4 more cult albums; The Alternative, Kingdom of Welcome Addiction, Volatile Times, and The Unified Field. The creation of this new record, called Metanoia, was initially overshadowed by a big change in Chris' life. There was a point when I believed I would never make another record, explains Chris, concerning IAMX's sudden break from recording and touring a few years ago due to chronic insomnia. I associated my career with everything that was hurting me, but slowly I managed to filter out the poison and get back to what I really love. Chris has now put the final caresses to his upcoming sixth IAMX album. I am proud and exhilarated to announce the creation of the new album, and ecstatic my musical bastard child has got this far. There is a simplicity to the sound that takes me back to my earlier work. It is purely electronic, lustful dystopian Man versus Machine. Like an electro glam soundtrack to a Jan Svankmajer film, IAMX - Metanoia mixes Corner's erotically charged dynamic vocals with fresh intricate electronic production, melancholia and piercing lyrics. Music that is as brutal as it is emotional.
