With roots dating back to the early days of the industrial rock scene, the US band 16Volt<\/strong>also crossed over into related genres as soon as group founder Eric Powell signed his first record deal in 1991 while still in his teens.

Brand new single \u2018White Noise\u2019 is taken from a long-awaited album by the band entitled \u2018More Of Less\u2019. Scheduled for release on 25th July, it is their first full-length record since 2017, when Powell put 16Volt on a hiatus that lasted seven years.

\u201c\u2018White Noise\u2019 is a song about feeling unheard, when your voice gets drowned out and it seems like you can\u2019t get a word in or no-one is listening to you,\u201d <\/em>he <\/em>explains. \u201cTo others, you become just white noise, that static sound of nothingness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The single follows just two weeks after a first ever (and already sold out) vinyl pressing of \u2018Wisdom\u2019, the group’s 1993 debut album. Powell\u2019s\u00a0reactivation of 16Volt in 2024 had been marked with the release of \u2018Negative On Arrivals\u2019, which combined songs from the group\u2019s previous two records in 2016 and 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A relentless early \u201890s schedule for 16Volt saw Powell work alongside co-producers David Ogilvie (Nine Inch Nails, Skinny Puppy), Keith \u2018Fluffy\u2019 Auerbach (Ministry) and Jeff \u2018Critter\u2019 Newell (Ministry, Angels & Airwaves, blink-182) for the recording of \u2018Wisdom\u2019 (1993), \u2018Skin\u2019 (1994) and \u2018LetDownCrush\u2019 (1996). With these albums all earning critical praise and pole positions on the US Alternative Chart, the band built a live following as they toured extensively around North America, subsequently signing to Mercury Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Producer Bill Kennedy (Nine Inch Nails, Megadeth, Sepultura, M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce) was hired to help make \u2018SuperCoolNothing\u2019 (1998), which featured film composer Joseph Bishara (Insidious, The Conjuring, Marylin Manson, Danzig), Chris Vrenna (Nine Inch Nails), Mike Peoples (Skrew) and Kraig Tyler (Crazytown), but Powell found himself in the middle of a legal battle prior to album release when Seagram took over the label and cut all its funding. In a genius move, Powell bought back the rights and made a deal with Sony to feature the album in the Playstation game \u2018Primal\u2019.

The mid-\u201900s saw 16Volt sign to Metropolis Records and release the albums \u2018FullBlackHabit\u2019 (2007), \u2018American Porn Songs\u2019 (2009) and \u2018Beating Dead Horses\u2019 (2012) featuring guests Paul Raven (Ministry, Killing Joke, Prong), Steve White (KMFDM) and mix engineer Shaun Thingvold (Strapping Young Lad, Lamb of God).

Meanwhile, the group\u2019s headline tours were supplemented by stints with the likes of Korn, Filter, Fear Factory, Prong, Orgy, Stabbing Westward, Revolting Cocks, Front Line Assembly, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult and Front 242.

2016 saw the release of \u2018The Negative Space\u2019, produced by Marc Jordan (Velvet Revolver, The Cult, Hyro Da Hero, Die Antwoord), with the EP \u2018Dead On Arrivals\u2019 following a year later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
