Collected Assets, the comprehensive compilation of all material to date from industrial/electronic project DIGITAL NEGATIVE, is out today on Mold Dominion, the independent record label operated by JR Hayes of Pig Destroyer.
DIGITAL NEGATIVE is the project from Richard Johnson (Drugs Of Faith, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Enemy Soil) and Daniel Euphrat (Person918x, Timmy Sells His Soul, Bodied). Over the past five years, the band has played live around the D.C. Metro area while releasing three five-song EPs, now amassed on Collected Assets. The compilation features the complete discography of DIGITAL NEGATIVE to date, encompassing the three EPs the group released from 2021 to 2025, plus two live tracks recorded in Washington, D.C. and a new song exclusive to the collection, recorded this year, with 18 total tracks. The live tracks and brand new song included showcase the continuing dystopian, glitched-out, sample-heavy noise, electronics, and industrial sounds the band employs.
Speaking about the new track “Outgroup,” Euphrat says the song “uses a variety of sample sources, including a field recording of a metal gate reverberating in a stairwell that functions as a bass and a swarm of drones that functions as a synth.”
About the live tracks, Euphrat continues, “Our live sets have an added element of improvisation,” with the backing tracks “run through a multi-effects unit manipulated on the fly, as well as an added noise feedback loop and percussion sample pad that are played live.” He concludes, “The performances have a raw immediacy that is captured by the recordings.”
Collected Assets is out today on CD and digitally via the Mold Dominion on Ampwall HERE and DIGITAL NEGATIVE on Bandcamp HERE.
DIGITAL NEGATIVE continues to play sporadic live shows across the East Coast, including a show tonight in Alexandria.
