Navicon Torture Technologies The Church of Dead Girls (Disc 1)

Navicon Torture Technologies saw its first official release in August of 1997, in the form of `AMALGAM: A Collection of War Poems.' AMALGAM was a split cd featuring lo-fi ambient noise and power electronics from NTT along with Negative Eight, a genre-bending electronic side project of the grind/industrial band Negativehate, whose members happened to live just around the corner from NTT frontman Lee Bartow (who would come to be known as `Leech').

Over a 12 year period, the name Navicon Torture Technologies has come to be known in the industrial music scene for combination of searingly vicious vocals, hypnotic loops and dark atmospheres, infused with an emotionally honest lyrical content not found within traditional Power Electronics. Often collaborating with numerous like-minded artists to incorporate a variety of styles, illustrating his ability to take different forms of industrial music and apply his signature twist, Leech came to coin the term Power Romance to describe NTT, a phrase abstract enough to encapsulate the various concepts, styles, and sounds that encompass the project, yet descriptive enough to differentiate himself from his influences. After ten years of baring his psychic wounds to the world at large, Leech announced plans for the death of the project in 2007, and performed under the NTT name for the final time in November of that year. The final releases are finally seeing the light of day in 2009, opening the way to new projects and a broader scope for his artistic endeavours. The final and definitive double CD release from NTT, "The Gospels of the Gash" chronicles one man's journey into a world devoid of light or hope. This is a place where the air is alive with the stink of pain and the beating of great black wings. The two discs compile material from a slew of limited releases from 2005-2007, as well as newer tracks recorded specifically for this release. As a result, Gospels of the Gash is unquestionably the most complete NTT recording to date and nothing short of a monumental achievement.
