Artist History Who the fuck is Malcolm Burn? The answer is simply "Who the fuck wants to know?". Malcolm Burn is the reclusive programmer/growler behind Diskust. Sick of being in bands, and sick of dealing with every ego other than his own, he set to work on his first recordings as Diskust in the summer of 2000. Over the two years that followed, he battled with landlords, moved several times, and went through a nasty breakup. In early 2002, he emerged from Fever Spoor studios, with a well-recorded demo, and a back catalogue of songs that most artists wouldn't be able to write in 10 years, let alone two. The self titled demo is a manic attack on the senses. Bass drums come from out of nowhere and aim for your gut, while distorted synthesis rains out of the sky, skewering what eardrums you have left. Burn screams and growls his way through the mechanical attack. 24 year old Burn has been a longtime vagrant in the music scene of Thunder Bay (starting as a session drummer for "The Rubber Dinosaurs", and playing a variety of instruments in such notable bands as The Dinks, The Violet Hour, Commercial Suicide, and Killing Mask), A city in which the most a young musician can hope for is a job at the mill, with weekends off to play bad blues/rock on the local pub circuit. He is completely self-taught in several instruments, purchased his first synthesizer at 18 ("A terrible suitcase job that only kept tune on the first 8 or 9 keys"), and hasn't looked back since.
