Atrax Morgue

Marco Corbelli (also known as Marco Rotula; 3 April 1970 – 6 May 2007), better known professionally as Atrax Morgue, was an Italian noise musician. Relying primarily on the Sequential Circuits Six-Trak synthesizer to make noise music and drone music, he acquired an online cult following posthumously, in the 2010s. Much of Atrax Morgue's early sound material was released on audio cassette, as part of the industrial music/noise music 'cassette culture underground' of the early 1990s. Often these cassettes were released on Corbelli's own Slaughter Productions Records, some of which were reissued as CD-Rs. Throughout the late 1990s, Atrax Morgue released numerous albums on prominent noise music labels, such as Relapse, Old Europa Cafe, RRRecords, Crowd Control Activities and Ars Benevola Mater. As a performer, on February 24, 2001, Corbelli took part in the Autopsia dell’opera d’arte vivente come vivisezione del corpo di dio performance art event in an art gallery in Viareggio. He was inspired by power electronics acts Whitehouse, Brighter Death Now and The Sodality. Corbelli committed suicide by hanging on May 6, 2007, at the age of 37.
