Description
If ever there was a group obsessed with obsessions, Sleep Chamber is it. This Boston outfit (basically the warlockish John ZeWizz aided by constantly shifting personnel) makes ritualistic industrial music that works on both a shock imagery level and on a more intellectual erotic/occult plateau. ZeWizz is mind-bogglingly prolific, having independently unleashed (in the US, Germany, Austria and Italy) over ten albums, several EPs and 45s, almost 20 cassette-only releases and a batch of long-form videos (many of which correspond to the records) in under a decade.
The heavy S&M content and explicit graphics have gotten Sleep Chamber banned and/or ignored — which is a shame. Not all that chaotic, the group's unique sound is more trancelike: ZeWizz's ultra-deadpan declarations, minimal electronic pulse-beats, eerie basslines, sparse synth/violin/guitar and occasional samples all serve to induce a heightened mood (sexual or otherwise). The main body of Sleep Chamber's work divides into "song"-oriented albums and dense, mostly instrumental works reminiscent of Nurse with Wound and Current 93.
Sharp Spikes & Spurs, recorded live in Boston in 1989, finds Sleep Chamber exuding songs from the previous albums and the then-unfinished Sleep.
