Bleeding Like Mine was an ethereal darkwave group from Milwaukee, WI, United States,
started in 1994 by multi-instrumentalist Curt Emmer and vocalist Holly Emmer.
Their first album, "In The Eyes Of Lovelost", was released in 1997 on the Italian label Palace Of Worms.
It consists of melancholic and slow darkwave music, where the ghostly ambiences and cyclical piano melodies
created by Curt meet the ethereal vocals of Holly, whose singing is occasionally multi-tracked into an eerie chorus.
Their second album, "Never Again Will I Dream...", was released in 2001, again on Palace Of Worms.
This time the addition of the deep vocals of Hugues Dammarie (O Quam Tristis, Thy Violent Vanities
are combined with the heavenly vocals of Holly Emmer and with bolder percussion and rhythm developments.
"In The Eyes Of Lovelost" was re-released in 2002 and contains approx. 12 extra minutes of music
at the end of the track 13 that weren't present on the original release.
The Memory link contains also this track.

Furnace – Cremated Souls (7'' EP 1992)


Country: United States

Tracklist
1. Cremated Souls 04:57
2. Nerve 03:42
3. Vagus 02:35

Furnace, the brain child of DJ Resin aka Brian Artwick (member of Absu, Equimanthorn, Equitant), 
was created in early 1992 when he recruited Incarnus (aka Shaftiel of Dolmen, Absu, Equitant etc.) for vocals.
Shortly after Toxin, Radium, and Ortho joined on guitars.
Furnace immediately created their first self-titled demo which was released on Chamber Noise Recordings.
It was at that time that DJ Resin coined the term "Cybergrind" to describe their new mix of computer generated grindcore. After hearing the debut Furnace release, Gothic Records re-released it as a 7" vinyl EP entitled "Cremated Souls."
In early 1993 Furnace went through a complete facelift as DJ Resin replaced all other members of the group.
At this point Synthetic joined on vocals and shortly after #6 also joined on guitar.
It was at this time that Furnace abandoned the grindcore elements in their music
and switched to a noise/industrial format and incorporated mass visuals in their live shows.
