Apparatus was an electro-industrial group originating from Charlotte, North Carolina, composed of vocalist Blake Barnes, guitarist Scott Morgan (also known as Sid), and keyboardist David York (D. York). They issued a single self-titled album in 1995 before disbanding.
History
Apparatus was established in Charlotte by Blake Barnes, David York, and Scott Morgan. Their sound blended guitar riffs, electronic elements, and hip hop rhythms, often likened to the styles of Nine Inch Nails and KMFDM. In 1995, they secured a contract with Re-Constriction Records.
The band's 1995 debut album, named Apparatus, included songs such as "Hell's Home" and "Slave Or Prayer," with production handled by industrial rock producer Lee Popa. The record received acclaim for its intense energy that resonated with both metal enthusiasts and club listeners. Visual accompaniments were created for the tracks "Come Alive" and "Hell's Home." Shortly following the album's release, the band parted ways. Subsequently, York and Morgan collaborated on the dark ambient project Liquid Sex Decay in 1997.
