Jonathan Canady's first serious musical venture in the music underground began in 1991 with the industrial metal band DEAD WORLD which disbanded in 1999. A significant proportion of the music of DEAD WORLD was non-rhythmic dark experimental.
His interest in this type of sound lead to the formation of a purely experimental side project called TORTURE CHAMBER in 1993. The band essentially broke up in 1995 and led to him beginning DEATHPILE that same year.

Jonathan Canady's first serious musical venture in the music underground began in 1991 with the industrial metal band DEAD WORLD which disbanded in 1999. A significant proportion of the music of DEAD WORLD was non-rhythmic dark experimental.
His interest in this type of sound lead to the formation of a purely experimental side project called TORTURE CHAMBER in 1993. The band essentially broke up in 1995 and led to him beginning DEATHPILE that same year.
DEATHPILE began as a varied experimental / noise project but quickly became pure power electronics (harsh electronic noise with vocals) after the debut release. From 1995 to early 2004 DEATHPILE recorded many albums that were released on cassette, vinyl and CD internationally and performed live sporadically in Colorado, Chicago and on the East Coast.
During this same time period he collaborated with other experimental artists under the names BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA (w/ GRUNTSPLATTER's Scott Candey), HOLLOW EARTH (w/ YEN POX / BLOOD BOX's Michael Hensley) and THE URGE WITHIN (w/ DEATHPILE keyboardist David E. Williams).
In the Summer of 2002 he began creating heavy electronic music as a solo artist under the name ANGEL OF DECAY and put out several releases on labels all over the world. The ANGEL OF DECAY project was retired in 2008.
After a brief hiatus he began recording with the projects SEXUAL ASSAULT RIFLE and NIGHTMARES. Over the last few years Jonathan Canady also completed the soundtrack to the independent movie "The Mind" and contributed to the music for "The Secret Door". As of 2010 he started recording and performing as simply "Jonathan Canady" as well as Diamond Cult.
