Tribal drums, intricate and expressive organic electronics syncopated with mechanical chatter and intoxicating synth lines to vibrate your soul... capable of simultaneously orchestrating an adrenaline rush as it opiates your mind with sonic beauty. one of those bands that makes you double check your playlist to see who's playing, so we've been told!

We both love what we do, and here is no end in site. You wont find us shoving our name in your face, but give it a listen, and buy what you like!


The project began when both Paul and Rob met at art school in Chicago. the two were both animation majors and continuously crafted music and visual projects as one. From 1997 to 2002, the band self released their music under the studio name, "paraminion studios".. which seemed fitting as Rob named his studio "paranoid" [after a series of break-ins] and Paul had tagged his spot as "dominion studio".

Monstrum Sepsis turned into an underground success almost overnight regardless of the group's "self-released" status. It wasn't until after self-releasing three albums and handfuls of compilation appearances that a seattle based demo-label started helping to distribute monstrum sepsis as "syncromesh audio".

During spring 2003, right after the group finished it's 4th self released cd, "Deep Sea Creatures", the band was picked up by WTII records who first started by re-releasing Deep Sea Creatures, followed by an extended EP with remixes by Displacer, Mimetic and Haujobb to name a few, and the bands 2005 release "Movement".

From the fall of 2000 to the summer of 2004, Rob spent most of his performance attention working with label mate, stromkern for live and some studio synth & piano, but following a move to the west coast in 2004, Monstrum Sepsis is back in focus, with long distance collaboration with Paul made pretty easy (via beloved dropbox)
