Real Name:
Roger Karmanik
Profile:
Brighter Death Now is the personal project of Roger Karmanik, founder of Cold Meat Industry. It is one of the most extreme industrial noise act on the scene, assaulting the listener with monstrous cacophonies and uncompromising walls of noise. The imagery of BDN's releases largely employs skulls, bones, corpses, death and decay. Still Karmanik never lacks to show the dark humorous side of his personality.

Reviews & Discussion
A bit of an underrated facet of his work, BDN's best moments seem to revolve around Roger Karmanik's real love for guttural, low-frequency murkiness that still reveals its raw, synthetic or sampled, origins. Usually called his more " dark ambient" work (vs. the vocal agression of Obsessis or Innerwar), this side is seen in full force in his older work with Pain in Progress and the Great Death series. Promotes some real strong subconscious fear all the way. Overall, it's a more effective and long-lasting tactic in my opinion.
