Trust Obey is the brainchild of John Bergin, the writer, graphic novel artist, and musician best known for his book From Inside and his various musical projects. Beginning in 1990, Bergin self-released a number of recordings that focused on dark, grinding explorations of sound with names like Rip Saw, The Veil and Locust. In 1993, he hooked up with guitarist Brett Smith to produce a band that was capable of playing live. One of the most interesting projects issued by Trust Obey was Fear and Bullets: Music to Accompany the Crow. Released by Kitchen Sink Press and Graphitti Designs, the cd was packaged with a special hardcover edition of The Crow graphic novel written by James O'Barr. Shortly after the Fear and Bullets release, Trust Obey was signed to Trent Reznor’s label, Nothing/Interscope Records and recorded Hands Of Ash. The album is a mix of classic industrial sounds, Godflesh-styled lyrics and beats fused with Scorn’s brand of droning lyrical gloom and misery. Hands of Ash the first true industrial concept album.
