Ego Death is an experimental/ post industrial/ noise machine used,since 2004, to explore the borders of sound and express the dark obsessions of Manos Michaelides. Ego Death is the outcome of an extensive sound collage/experimental/ cut-up quest which dates back to the early 90's and followed the experiences I had as a kid in the family's industrial working environment.
