How did Atticus get hooked up with Trent?
Atticus’ old band with his wife, Claudia Sarne, was touring in support of Marilyn Manson, who was signed to Trent’s Nothing label. This led them to be signed to Nothing Records, although the third 12 Rounds album never got released.
Atticus was brought in for the Tapeworm sessions due to his great skill in programming and producing, and when the Tapeworm artists split over how they felt the band should go, Atticus sided with Trent, and thus a decade-long partnership was formed!
Trent’s first work with Atticus (that I know of) was his work on the Pleasant Smell Maxi-Single, and you can hear that here.
