Brian Williams is a Welsh industrial musician, sound designer and film score composer.
He is often credited for creating the dark ambient genre with albums recorded under the name Lustmord.
Williams was raised in rural Wales, before relocating to London in his late teens.
There he befriended Throbbing Gristle members Cosey Fanni Tutti and Chris Carter, who urged him to make his own music.
He started recording as Lustmord in 1980 before joining SPK in 1982.
Lustmord has extracted field recordings made in crypts, caves, and slaughterhouses,
and combined it with occasional ritualistic incantations and Tibetan horns.
His treatments of acoustic phenomena encased in digitally expanded bass rumbles have a dark ambient quality.
Some of Lustmord's most notable collaborations include Robert Rich, Jarboe, John Balance of Coil,
Monte Cazazza, Clock DVA, Chris & Cosey, Paul Haslinger, Tool and The Melvins.
Williams collaborated with Graeme Revell and Paul Haslinger as musical sound designer
and occasionally as additional composer to 44 Hollywood film soundtracks, most notably on "The Crow" and "Underworld".
He also composed the soundtrack for the 2017 film "First Reformed" directed by Paul Schrader.
Around 1999, Lustmord was also involved with the video game "Planescape: Torment"
but his work eventually went unused when the project changed direction.
He provided music and sound design for a variety of other projects since, such as "Far Cry Instincts",
"Master Of Orion", NVIDIA demos and in 2015 he composed the soundtrack for "Evolve" with Jason Graves.
In 1990 Williams released the album "Heresy" on the American label Soleilmoon Recordings.
"Heresy" is the culmination of work from 1987 to 1989 and utilizes subterranean location recordings originated within crypts, caverns, mines, deep shelters and catacombs together with material of a seismic and volcanic origin.
It also takes advantage of psycho-acoustic phenomena and the physical effects of low frequency information.
