Brighter Death Now

Brighter Death Now is the personal project of Roger Karmanik, founder of Cold Meat Industry. BDN was the original death industrial act, combining Whitehouse-style walls of white noise with churning industrial rhythms and bleak subject matter. BDN has been very influential over the industrial scene, especially the noisier end of it.

The imagery of BDN's releases largely involves death, child molestation, and psychosis. However, Karmanik never misses the opportunity to show the dark humorous side of his personality; his BDN persona switches between petulant spoiled-brat little girl and serial killer at the drop of a hat.
