The neo-industrial-black metal project Axis of Perdition arose from the ashes of an earlier band called Minethorn at the dawn of the 21st Century in Northern England. Mysteriously monikered co-conspirators Tetsuo Unit BRJ (a.k.a. Brooke Johnson, vocals, guitars, ba** and programming) and Test Subject MGB (a.k.a. Michael Blenkarn, guitars, keyboards and programming) set out to convey the bleakest post-apocalyptic vision of urban decadence and decay imaginable with their 2003 debut The Ichneumon Method (And Less Welcome Techniques). ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
