{"title":"Xorcist","description":"\u003cp\u003eXorcist is the Electro Industrial and Ambient project of Peter Stone, also known as DJ\/VJ Bat. Built on dark occult and horror themes, it was ahead of its time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStone began experimenting with electronic composition in 1985 on a Waldorf PPG Wave 2.3 and Waveterm, later adding an Atari ST with samplers and synthesizers. After leaving his band Belief, he carried on alone as Xorcist, dropping the \"e\" from \"exorcist\" partly so the project wouldn't be confused with a metal band of the same name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eXorcist's debut album, \u003cem\u003eDamned Souls\u003c\/em\u003e (1991), was the first release on 21st Circuitry. \u003cem\u003ePhantoms\u003c\/em\u003e followed in 1994 and reached No. 22 on the US CMJ RPM chart, then \u003cem\u003eSoul Reflection\u003c\/em\u003e in 1997 and \u003cem\u003eNomad\u003c\/em\u003e on Pendragon Records in 1999.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStone was also a key figure in the Goth and Industrial scene, co-founding the House of Usher club and launching The CyberDen, an early BBS for Goth and Industrial fans. His sound design can be heard on MTV's \u003cem\u003eAeon Flux\u003c\/em\u003e and in the video games \u003cem\u003eIron Helix\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBad Mojo\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSpace Bunnies Must Die\u003c\/em\u003e. Xorcist returned in 2017 and released the album \u003cem\u003eGod\u003c\/em\u003e in 2018.
