DIGITAL NEGATIVE is the industrial/electronic project from Richard Johnson (Drugs Of Faith, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Enemy Soil) and Daniel Euphrat (Person918x, Timmy Sells His Soul, Bodied). In the past five years, the band has released three five-song EPs and played live around the D.C. Metro area; now the pair is releasing a new compilation, Collected Assets.
The Collected Assets release features the complete discography of DIGITAL NEGATIVE to date, encompassing the three EPs the group released from 2021 to 2025, plus two live tracks recorded in Washington, D.C. and a new song exclusive to the collection, recorded this year. With 18 total tracks, Collected Assets is a must for any fan of the band and any follower of the works of Richard Johnson and Person918x. The newly released live tracks and brand new song included showcase the continuing dystopian, glitched-out, sample-heavy noise, electronics, and industrial sounds the band employs.
Speaking about the new track “Outgroup,” Euphrat says the song “uses a variety of sample sources, including a field recording of a metal gate reverberating in a stairwell that functions as a bass and a swarm of drones that functions as a synth.”
About the live tracks, Euphrat continues, “Our live sets have an added element of improvisation,” with the backing tracks “run through a multi-effects unit manipulated on the fly, as well as an added noise feedback loop and percussion sample pad that are played live.” He concludes, “The performances have a raw immediacy that is captured by the recordings.”
Collected Assets will be released on November 13th on CD and digital from Mold Dominion, the independent record label operated by JR Hayes of Pig Destroyer.
