Revolution State was founded by Ben P. and Bonnie P. in the fall of the year
2000. In 2003 they
contributed two songs to the Velvet Acid Christ album Hex Angel: Utopia Dystopia,
"Misery", and
"Eva". The tracks were well received by fans and critics alike, and IGN.com even
praised "Eva",
calling it "a quasi-instrumental minimalist piece that is evocative of Coil's
Musick to Play in the Dark
that shows a softer, almost ambient, side to VAC." These Velvet Acid Christ
tracks, as well as the
tracks previously written by the band laid the ground work for the Revolution
State sound: a blend of
elements from dark electro, idm, and power noise that allow for a unique and
varied listening experience.
In the spring of 2005 Ben and Bonnie formed their noisy ebm project Noizekatt,
showcasing
Bonnie's vocals with driving distorted rhythms and aggressive synths. Although
Noizekatt was
originally a live only project, it soon became an official second project. In
June 2006 the Revolution
State track “Deny” received recognition through a compilation appearance on
Endzeit Bunkertracks
Act 2, released by the Belgian Alfa-Matrix label. In August of the same year,
Revolution State contributed
two amazing remixes to Velvet Acid Christ's "Wound" single: "Wound (Legacy of
the Revolution)",
and "Ghost Regen (Fractured Coils Version)". "Wound" ranked on the Deutsch
Alternative
Chart's singles chart for seven weeks and held the #1 position for four weeks.
In October Revolution
State contributed an ethereal dance remix of the song "Demon Breeder" to Neikka
RPM's album The
Rise of the Thirteenth Serpent.
Revolution State vs. Noizekatt is the debut CD for both projects. It is a full
length CD which contains
five tracks by Revolution State, and five tracks by Noizekatt, which gives the
listener an opportunity to
hear the best of both projects on one CD. The first five tracks of the CD
feature the intelligent
electro-industrial of Revolution State, which pair a full and textural sonic
landscape and complex
custom made rhythms with the emotional and politically aggressive vocal of Ben
P., and the sweet
robotic voice of Bonnie P. The last five tracks of the CD feature the "terror
clash" of Noizekatt, a
genre name coined by Bryan Erickson of Velvet Acid Christ specifically for the
Noizekatt project, and
combine a distorted rhythmic assault and minimal analog electronics with Bonnie
P.'s endearing
avant-garde growl. Released on Vendetta and available August 20th, 2007.
