Spewing from the bowels of the NYC underground, BILE is considered one of the most ferocious pioneers of industrial metal. With a blacklight stage show to match their uncompromising sound BILE stands out like a turd in the punch bowl. With their “live band” cameo appearance in the cult horror film “Strangeland”, their inclusion on the first “Mortal Kombat Original Motion Picture Soundtrack” (5 million sold) and the 8 years lead singer Krztoff spent as guitarist/vocals for Chicago based supergroup PIGFACE, BILE has paved a road setting them miles apart from their competition. Since 1992 BILE has been a festering globule of audio terrorism; a bastardized synthesis of subversive values and deviant sophistication completely devoid of the mainstream pop culture. BILE has become the alternative. In the shadows, we are legion.

In a world where honest music is a rare commodity, Counterfeit i stands apart and plays with real emotion and intensity. This Chicago-based experimental group, founded by Derek Allen in 2008, does not care about mass appeal and refuses to sacrifice artistic integrity for the fleeting fame that the music industry so readily offers. From their first release, Circuitry (2009) to their last EP, Search Party (2010), Counterfeit i has progressed and grown on their own terms, creating only music that is real and true to themselves.
Their newest album, a glimpse, an eclipse, continues in this tradition. Recorded and produced throughout 2011, Counterfeit i has again delivered a true work of art that all fans of honest music can appreciate.
