Society Burning

about

Society Burning is a coldwave industrial rock act composed of Daveoramma, Twitch, and Boom chr Paige. Originally founded in Las Cruces, New Mexico as a side project of Daveoramma's in 1991 by the moniker 'The Watchmen', a tribute to the Alan Moore graphic novel. Shortly before the release of project's first self produced work, Daveoramma brought on avant-garde guitarist Boom chr Paige. Both musicians dedicated themselves full time to the effort, quickly coming to the attention of Chase (of Re-Constriction fame) that same year. The band also gained international recognition via (ab)use of newsgroups on the Internet, being one of the first acts to embrace the technology as a marketing vehicle. The duo released another self produced work in 1992, gaining attention from Chase again, as well as German label Kugelblitz. Both released compilations featuring the band, but the realization that the band's name was already in use by another band forced the duo to change. The resulting name 'Society Burning' (ripped from a quote from a Denver, Colorado newscast) materialized in time to be changed on both compilation appearances. During this time the band enlisted the help of Michael Smith of Fiction 8 for assistance on the boards on-stage. In 1993, the band met Steven Seibold of Hate Dept, who would go one to produce/re-engineer the song "Human Waste" for the Re-Constriction complation 'Thugs 'n' Kisses'. This would be the beginnings of an odd precedent set by Re-Con and the band for
