History

[edit]

Electro Assassin was founded out of London in 1990 by Kevin Gould as an outlet for his solo compositions. Gould had previously performed in Johnson Engineering Co.[3] Gould joined with Ian Taylor[4] and released Jamming the Voice of the Universe in 1992 by Hyperium Records and Concrete Productions.[5][6] The second album was released in 1993 by Hyperium and titled Bioculture and represented vocalist Ian Taylor's final release with the band.[7] The band's third album, titled The Divine Invasion, was released in 1995 by Synthetic Symphony and Cyber-Tec Records[8][9] and introduced Richard McKinley as the band's new vocalist.[10] In September of that year the album was reissued in the United States by Fifth Colvmn Records.[11] Kevin Gould now releases material under Nexus Project via Rebel Scum Productions on Bandcamp
