Release Notes:

"Old analog synth drone music in the best tradition. Really powerful, alienating
and spooky..." - vidnaObmana

Angel of Decay provides the seventh installment of the Desolation House series,
Relapse Records/Release Entertainment's premium dark ambient collection. Angel
of Decay is Jonathan Canady, formerly of both Dead World and Deathpile, who
creates dark surrealism using vintage analog keyboards. Covered in Scars blends
chilling dark ambient with words and concepts culled directly from a lifetime of
personal nightmares.

BIOGRAPHY:

ANGEL OF DECAY is the solo project of Jonathan Paul Canady (hailing originally
from Denver, Colorado). My first serious musical venture in the music
underground began in 1991 with the industrial metal band DEAD WORLD which
disbanded in 1999. A significant proportion of the music of DEAD WORLD was
non-rhythmic dark experimental.

My interest in this type of sound lead to the formation of a purely experimental
side project called TORTURE CHAMBER in 1993. The band essentially broke up in
1995 and led to my beginning DEATHPILE that same year.

DEATHPILE began as a varied experimental / noise project but quickly became pure
power electronics (harsh electronic noise with vocals) after the debut release.
From 1995 to early 2004 DEATHPILE recorded many albums that were released on
cassette, vinyl and CD internationally and performed live sporadically in
Colorado, Chicago and on the East Coast.

During this same time period I collaborated with other experimental artists
under the names BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA (w/ GRUNTSPLATTER's Scott Candey), HOLLOW
EARTH (w/ YEN POX / BLOOD BOX's Michael Hensley) and THE URGE WITHIN
(w/DEATHPILE keyboardist David E. Williams).

During the Summer of 2002 I began creating heavy electronic music as a solo
artist under the name ANGEL OF DECAY. AOD is created using vintage analog synths
and other out of date equipment using very primitive methods. Each AOD release
will most likely be different and united only by my unshakable interest in all
things dark and disturbing. This project will be my primary focus for the
foreseeable future.
