Sterling Hepatitis

was formed in early 2012 by Mikael Helso and Jacob Britt. The two of them met in high school, and were quick to align with each other. Sterling Hepatitis is an electronic music group. They cover an array of genres, all with the sub-genre of (-electronic) including: Noise, Math-Core, Free-Form Jazz, Kraut-Rock, and New Age.

Their first album, 'Jambi Hepatitis C; The Nighthawk', was created in Jacob's basement in May, 2012. What started as a hobby, or a means of entertainment turned into an obsession. The song that inspired them to become a legitimate musical group was "&& Holy Fuck, Our Honry Demon. Open For Discussion". Soon after the their first album was completed they took up another mission: 'Man-Eater Bug' in June 2012. Man-Eater Bug focused more on the the sociological and Neurological aspects of music. All the songs on the album are named "Man-Eater Bug", leaving only the duration as the only way to differentiate the songs. One song in particular, '25:07' is a single sound that pans and shifts volume the entire song. This sounds caused memory lapses, trances, the feeling of leaving your body and losing consciousness.

Soon after the completion of Man-Eater Bug, Jacob became homeless. He found refuge at Mikael's abode, Where they soon started a new album. 'It Involves The Moon' was the Third album by the duo; created in November, 2012. The album has a dark and complex sound. When asked their favorite songs on the Album they each replied differently. Mikael: "My favorite song off of that album is 'Tornadoes In The Valley Of Your Chin Fat'. It has a way of constantly getting more and more amazing that makes my arm hairs stand on their tippy-toes." Jacob: "I'd have to say that 'Uteruses Are Invading The Homeleand' is my favorite song on the album. There's a complex rhythm and melodic structure; along with a few hints of Dissonance." Soon after the creation of It Involves The Moon, Jacob found a new residence. Then, In December 2012, they started their new masterpiece, 'Science-Core'. This album was actually constructed on three different computers; one of which fell off of a building in downtown Kansas City. Luckily, the hard-drive was still intact. They considered Science-Core lost. So, naturally, they started a new album: 'Personified Nature'. This album is where they began incorporating a New Age sound into their music. Near the completion of this album, in February, 2013, Jacob lost his residence and moved 3 hours away. During this time both embers started Solo albums, but not allowing Personified Nature to leave their minds. After creating a total of 30 songs individually, in September, 2013, Jacob moved back to Kansas City. Where he compiled the entirety of Science-Core and Personified Nature. Though they were in line to be published, their publisher went out of business.
