Artist History Socionemesis is the solo venture of singer, songwriter, Greg Lauzon. The recently completed album, “World Euthanasia” is a sonic blast of melodic hardcore that is abrasive yet pleasant to listen to. Ironically, many admirers of the album are people who do not listen to punk, hardcore or metal. Greg started out in his basement with a four track, as so many independent artists do, in Welland, Ontario, 1991. Unfortunately, there was not much of a music scene for hardcore in that area at the time. Initially a drummer, Greg could also play guitar and sing. This allowed Greg to follow his own creative vision without a band, in a town without a music scene. The lyrics and music reflect this sense of isolation and frustration. Greg made ends meet by working as a dishwasher in a restaurant and taking occasional sound engineering jobs in bars with live bands on the side. The recording of the “World Euthanasia” album was made possible through Greg’s involvement with a recording studio, which he had personal access to at a discount rate. He enlisted the help of Waide Brown on bass for some tracks. All other tracks were performed and engineered by Greg. Drawing from his experience as a sound engineer, Greg managed to record over two albums worth of material before the studio’s demise. Choice selections from these recordings would go to make the album “World Euthanasia”.
