Dead Kid Harvester is a solo avant-garde/experimental/noise artist with a complete disregard for any form of music convention such as harmony or tempo. The primary instruments used are vocals and kitchen utensils. The life of a song typically begins with the lyrics, written with no consideration for rhythm or beat. Dead Kid Harvester takes influences ranging from doom metal to drone, industrial and old school punk, and polarizes them into an industrial cacophony of noise. Recorded samples and segments are combined haphazardly into songs, with frequent use of pitch shift and time stretch effects. The preferred lyrical themes are insanity, horror and philosophy. Dead Kid Harvester makes use of both jarring and subtle variations between channels to invoke uneasiness and disarray. In 2018, after nearly ten years of recording and procrastination, the debut full-length album The First Sign Of Madness was finally completed. Tracks appear on: 2009 - DEMUS Compiled II 2009 - We'll Leave the Lights On 2011 - 5DBSSS One - tha ReeMux is (remix 'Metal on Utensil') 2012 - SIGNALVOID (exclusive songs 'Puberty', 'Stubborn Cupboard') 2016 - Through the Drift and the Unspoken 2017 - No Synth Noise Compilation (an interpretation of an Into Orbit track)

Story behind the song

A remake of an old track from 2002. The initial lyrics were written on the back of a university notice telling us that lecturers would be going on strike.

Lyrics

Insanity is what keeps you alive.
Insanity gives a reason to strive.
Insanity knows you need to survive.
Insanity goes where you let it thrive.

Sitting outside the edge of the square,
Nobody knows the colour of your underwear.
Looking into that square, your vision
Sees a wax museum exhibition.

The moon glows through the clouds,
Intruding on the darkness that shrouds
A people snoring like Hindu cows.

Sanity is not part of me,
Insanity is a party for me.
Sanity is not part of me,
Insanity is a party for me.
Sanity is not part of me,
Insanity is a party for me.
Sanity is not part of me,
Insanity is a party for me.
Sanity is not part of me,
Insanity is a party for me.

In a dreamscape of diminishing gravity,
You suddenly lose grip on reality.
Brain cells drifting apart,
Evolutionary race returns to the start.

Mind bowing to the first sign.
Mind crossing the thinnest line.
Mind losing everything divine.
Whisper to yourself, "that mind was mine..."
