An Intergalactik fairytale stompin’ through the Evil Black Forest Galaxy spillin’ beer, destroying sound waves and keeping all things UBER!

Born in the year of the Death Star 1993, HUG have toured with all the great bands of their genre, Marilyn Manson, Prong, Rammstein, Ministry, Cradle of Filth and have amassed a great cult following with old and new fans of all ages.

In 2000, Pound of Flesh released their debut record “Red & Black” and received critical acclaim and support from 250+ radio stations across the US and charted within the top five of several of those stations.

During performing regionally in support of the POF record, Darrell met Al Jourgersen from “Ministry” and he came on board to produce the record. Darrell was stoked. Al Jourgensen is the godfather of industrial music and the fact that he wanted to produce his record… words cannot express Darrell’s excitement. It wasn’t too long after Darrell started working with Al when he was asked if i’d be interested in playing keyboards for the 2003 Ministry tour. He said hell yeah and headed off to Hell Passhole for Ministry boot camp rehearsals then hit the road.

He came back to play keyboards on the 2004 Ministry tour, and while on the road he wrote and recorded tunes with Mike Scaccia and Louis Svitek. A couple of the tracks they worked on together will be included on the new POF record. He had an incredible time and felt very lucky to have the opportunity to tour with such a legendary group and all the madness that it was. In 2005 Darrell worked with Al in Hell Passhole doing keyboard and engineering work on Ministry “Ranthology”, Revolting cocks “cocked and loaded”, and Ministry Rio Grande blood records which earned him a couple grammy nominations. He continued to work with Ministry until 2006 when he felt it was time to get back home to Chicago.

The next couple of years Darrell worked with guitarist Mike Scaccia ( Ministry , Rigor Mortis ) and wrote a bunch of Metal tunes together. Halloween 2010 Darrell felt it was time to get back to work on Pound of Flesh. Mixing his experiences with Ministry with his style of industrial/dance music has created a new hybrid of music that won’t be denied.

2012 is here and the shylock is back for his Pound of Flesh. We will all pay the price.

Loud, destructive, seductive. Silver Loves Mercury, rock and roll with a gothic vibe, is a perfect mix of Angel and Devil. The band was founded by Kitty V.(guitars,drums, bass) and Roxi V. (vocals) as a studio project.

After overwhelming fan response to their first live performance,Silver Loves Mercury decided to cater to their growing fan base and take their spectacle on the road. In four short months Silver Loves Mercury grew their fanbase to over 20,000 on Myspace alone after playing regionally in half a dozen major markets. Their debut record, Treasures of Gomorrah (2010), was produced by grammy nominee JT Longoria and has garnered the attention and support of the likes of King Diamond, Izzy Straddlin, and Glen Danzig. After being in the top 80 on Jango Music for nine straight weeks after its inception and gaining extensive regional and international press with Lit (U.S.), Black Velvet (U.K.) and several others, the band, in less than a year, is already in the mix stage of their follow-up E.P. and in preproduction for their new full-length L.P.
