Sweat Engine were an American electro-industrial group based in San Diego, California, United States.[1] Formed by vocalist Mark Deadrick and composer Trevor Henthorn in 1990, the duo embraced an industrial fusion of audio sampling and percussion. The band released Multiple Insertions on Henthorn's own label Pan Handler Production in 1996.
History[edit]
Sweat Engine was formed in 1990 by Mark Deadrick and Trevor Henthorn out of San Diego. The band made their debut with the EP titled Audio Degradable in 1990. In early February 1991 Sweat Engine opened for influential industrial rock act Nine Inch Nails during the Pretty Hate Machine tour series.[2][3] Later that year Prey for Silence was released on Privileged Entertainment and the duo released the song "Numbing Device" on the If It Moves... various artists compilation Torture Tech Overdrive.[4] In 1992 the band released three songs titled "Destroy4U", "You Look Like You Need Some" and "Need Some Ambient" on the Below San Onofre compilation released by Vinyl Communications. Henthorn also provided the artwork and liner notes for the album.[5] Guitarist Electric Don joined the band and Deadrick was replaced by vocalist Tymo Raek in 1994. That year the new incarnation released the songs "In Darkness" and "Technocality" respectively on the Scavengers in the Matrix and Torture Tech Overdrive (Cleopatra reissue) compilations.[6]
In 1996 Sweat Engine released Multiple Insertions on Pan Handler Production and Vinyl Communications.[7] The album embraced sample and distortion laden material layered over experimental industrial compositions.[8][9] That year the band played their final live performance. The band's contribution to the 1997 compilation TV Terror: Felching a Dead Horse, a brief cover of the Speed Racer score, was called a terrifying coda to its first disc.[10] Although the compilation was a minor success, charting at number eleven on CMJ New Music Monthly, the track would represent the band's final release until they reunited years later.[11]
The band returned ten years later to release the 2006 EP We Put the 'Go' in Gothic. Since 2008 Trevor Henthorn has been working with composer and arts technologist Jeff Kaiser on Made Audible - an audio project that explores database and probability-driven electronica.[12][13]
