Beyond Infinity

Artist: Ogun’s Will
Title: Feigned Beginning
Release: 1997

Ogun’s Will was formed in Fort Wayne, Indiana in 1994 by Daniel Tuttle and Sean Kent.

“Feigned Beginning” was the primary release for Ogun’s Will. All songs were originally recorded and mixed as raw WAV forms. It originally came out in 1997, and was subsequently promoted on the music site, MP3.com where it received quite a bit of attention and positive ratings. The band performed live in and around the midwest USA, with live sets mostly featuring these tracks. The musical style is the brand of industrial that sits somewhere in the vein of older Skinny Puppy or their side project Download.

A few remixes were released by bands GabrielSix and Morphic Resonance.

Reviews

A review by Raw42 from 1999:

“this hard edged industrial outfit from indiana does it for me. being a huge skinny puppy fan, i can’t help but draw similarities between these two groups. that undeniable ’skinny puppy’ style is evident in the music of ogun’s will. i don’t make comparison’s to skinny puppy lightly as they’re the gods of industrial music but ogun’s will have that same strange and dark appeal.

mellifluent, filled with evil, maniacal and strangely effected vocals over top harsh beats is an excellent example of hard industrial music as it should be. forget that sappy rock shit that pretends to be industrial because of a few instances of electronica and distortion on the vocals, this is industrial (where’s the bass?). lyrically dark and depressing, mellifluent, is one of the best songs i’ve heard from an independent band in the genre. following that same hard path is icy glare. not quite as powerful or creative as the previous song, it’s still a potent song nonetheless and far better than most. probably more appealing to the masses of industrial fans than the darkly tempting mellifluent, this track is harsh and unrelenting but definitely more marketable (from a label’s point of view) since it combines elements of industrial dance and the drums bring a cohesiveness that hold the song together nicely. either way, this is a talented and recommended band for true industrial fans. we’ve added mellifluent to our top mp3 songs list.”
