"Hunting Lodge is the 80’s experimental industrial project of Lon Diehl and Richard Skott. They began in the summer of 1982 when Diehl and Skott enlisted the assistance of Karl Nordstrom (as well as his brother Thomas, who aided the band in their visual art realizations). They played their first show on September 9, 1982 at the now infamous Harrington Ballroom in Port Huron, Michigan. After that performance, they recorded and self-released the much-coveted '23 Minutes of Murder' cassette. Nordstrom left the group soon after."
"After recording another cassette titled 'Exhumed', Diehl and Skott began work on tracks that would become their first full-length album 'Will'. Drawing references from Crowley, Nietzsche, and G. Gordon Liddy, Hunting Lodge collaged together industrial percussion patterns, live recordings, early sketches, and synthesized noise into compositions which also included vocal appearances by Andreas Muller, Francisco Lopez, and Masami Akita. The final product would serve as a blueprint for later generations of industrial noise music and plant the influential seed for the large amounts of noise output that came out of Michigan in the following years." --Edited From Dais Records
