Nation Of Sin
Nation Of Sin
Nation Of Sin is an industrial-rock band from Toronto, Canada. This is the brainchild of mastermind Wes Orlik, joined by others to round out for live performances. Orlik is the core of the band, writing and recording all of the material himself in his own studio in Toronto, FallenStudios.
Orlik draws his influences from such industrial pioneers as Nine Inch Nails, Skinny Puppy, Gary Numan and KMFDM, yet has a unique sound of his own.
If working on the NOS original material wasn't enough, Wes also produces remixes for other acts, such as Kuru, Perdition and Lakeshore Driving.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Nation Of Sin has been an entity for the last four years. The music is taking on a bit of metamorphisis, and shifting. Some new song should be posted soon.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
There aren't any live dates planned at this time.
Your musical influences
Major influences include Nine Inch Nails, Skinny Puppy, Gary Numan, The Tea Party, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Front 242, Nitzer Ebb and KMFDM. The NOS sound is a blend of all, but a clone of none.
