They that sow in tears... ....shall reap in joy.
Hooks Bombtime: In the late '80s and early '90s, vanE was a seminal figure in the Los Angeles-based cult industrial rock band Bombtime. Think Pigface, Ministry, early NIN and other bands of the time, with a sprinkling of heavenly female vocals and shoegaze thrown in for good measure. Popular song topics: Time, Fate, and how these related to pain, both personal and towards others. They were on the verge of a record contract with a major label, hugely favored to explode into the mainstream. Too bad a mysterious explosion during a Santa Monica concert in 1991 resulted in the disappearance of several members of the band, including vanE. Presumed dead or missing, what rumors surrounded vanE's survival whispered of intense drug addiction and drop-out. What a surprise, then, when he reemerged in the mid-aughts, reasonably sober and with new music in tow. herbasacra: Though he eschews concerts and public appearances and has not performed live in many years, vanE continues to produce music under the name herbasacra, released digitally and through specially-produced, limited-edition CDs, LPs, and cassettes. These days, he’s moved away from industrial rock and into the realms of post-industrial, dark ambient, neoclassical darkwave, and experimental electronic, weaving melancholy soundscapes with haunting vocals. He no longer works with large commercial record labels, preferring his own imprints or small labels, often genre-specific or Lost-friendly (or both!). Lost: Winter Hook 3: Magic
