Chemlab was an
industrial rock band formed in
Washington D.C., USA, in 1989 by Dylan Thomas More, Joe Frank, and Jared Louche (then known as Hendrickson). Influenced by the pioneers of the industrial genre, such as
Throbbing Gristle, Chemlab mixed experimental sounds with
rock and
metal, which they dubbed "Angel-Dustrial". They released their first EP
10 Ton Pressure, parted ways with Frank and moved to
New York City, their base for the duration of their career. The band toured with acts such as
White Zombie,
KMFDM,
Nine Inch Nails,
16volt, and
GWAR.
