Artist description Due to numerous bad experiences working with a traditional "band" format Dehumanation operates under the premise that it only takes one person to write, perform and record a good song. Using the studio as a musical instrument and a tool in and of itself, the project is the vision of one person alone looking to simply make music that he finds interesting with words that have value to him. This project is not about money or celebrity -- it's about catharsis.

Music Style Easily tagged as industrial for the obvious reasons. There may be no other way to categorize it. The ideology is this: if the sound works, use it. If using sounds the way I want it to sound, it stays.
