Career

In 1988, Loamfield began producing music on a Commodore 64, in combination with organ sequences, before upgrading to better equipment. In 1991 his first demo tape, "Syndromic Noise", was released. This and its subsequent release are usually classified as hard trance. Loamfield soon began performing live at techno parties. His music after this point became darker, and evolved to aggrotech/dark electro. In 2003, he was signed by independent label Dark Dimensions/SCANNER, which marked the beginning of the X-Fusion project.

Loamfield used several neo-classical/orchestral goth elements in later releases, mixing industrial Aggrotech and Gothic Darkwave.

The 2004 album Beyond the Pale reached number 6 on the Deutsche Alternative Charts,^[2] and the 2007 album Rotten to the Core reached #16 for the year.^[3] In 2008, Vast Abysm went to #2,^[4] as did Ultima Ratio in 2009.^[5]
