It looks like Chad Lovell made corrections to the biography, which is greatly appreciated. I integrated the info into the article. Chad, if you drop by again, perhaps you could offer some photos? Feel free to email me if you have questions about uploading them. Uriah923 14:19, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

I cleaned up the opening paragraph a little bit, when I have time I will add some earlier history. Also, I could never stand for the "Metal" (as well as the far worst "grunge" label) We were influenced by the post punk bands from the early 80s (Bauhaus, Killing Joke, etc.) as well as some of the earlier industrial bands (Skinny Puppy, KMFDM, Ministry).

Then there is all our personal taste thrown in the mix, Chad was the metal guy but he brought in more of technical musicianship than metal junk. I was more influenced by what ever was going on at the time, though I always prefered harder edged stuff. In the end we were moving towards a old British Glam thing (Bowie, T-Rex, Small Faces).

I would like to thank whoever listed us initially, I will try and find some copywrite free photos to add.

Thanks Paul Semrad

Should there be a mention of the band's frustration with the time taken to release Telepathic Last Words? I heard an earlier version of the album and one of the songs featured (not exactly buried in the mix) a member arguing with someone.

That would be producer John Fryer making fun of drummer Chad Lovell

Then there's also the track "Running Man" on Initiation, which can only be accessed by making an exact audio copy of the CD or by rewinding before the first track - this is supposedly the first time the technique was used to hide a track on an album. There was some controversy later when someone else did this and claimed they originated the technique. Andrewhime 08:02, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

How can we get the Greg Prato music guide link off. it is so inaccurate. paul

other singles
I have promo singles for "White Vision Blowout" and I think "Hiss" off the 2nd album. They're radio promos, so not extra tracks. Is this worth including? Andrewhime (talk) 22:17, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

disambiguation page?
"Course of Empire" is a series of paintings by important American artist Thomas Cole. I came here looking for more information on that and find of all things, a band! Oh wikipedia... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.76.75.203 (talk) 23:37, 7 February 2007 (UTC).

The band was named after the paintings, try searching "THE Course of Empire" next time.
