Artist History This group of demi-gods, artists, philosophers and warlords first materialized in 1995 somewhere in the frozen wastes of Saskatchewan, Canada. Their musical evolution unfolded as they studied the music enjoyed by the low-life scum of humanity. During their journey from 3 -chord "punk" (a la Ramones/Misfits) to earth-shattering Gothic metal, they released several demo cassettes (1996-97) and were then signed to Michigan-based Transparent Records in 1998. Their debut 7" ep "A Lesson in Mortality" caught the attention of death-rock fans from New York to Texas. In late 2000, work began on a massive full-length project that wouldn't see the light of day until almost a year later. The result: the 13 track album released on the newly formed Manticore Music Group in NJC's home base of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. With the addition of Annabel Arkham on synth (replacing a member who only did studio work) and Vlad the Inhaler on lead guitar (who already provided tracks for the album), the NJC ceased to be a power trio and permanently expanded to a quintet now capable of performing live the epic tracks of their full-length album. NJC continues to cause a scene wherever they turn up around the Canadian prairies and have appeared in openning slots for the likes of the Groovie Ghoulies and Nashville Pussy
