Corrections House was an experimental collaboration project featuring Mike IX Williams (Eyehategod), Scott Kelly (Neurosis), Bruce Lamont (Yakuza), Sanford Parker (Minsk) and their minister of propaganda, Seward Fairbury. The project would be founded in 2012 and would be described as " Boundless in their genre voyage, Corrections House conjure an impossible-to-pinpoint kaleidoscopic synthesis of mechanical decomposition, atmospheric abnormalities, and poetic putrefaction.".[1]
The project would largely be active when the respective members would be available to participate.
History[]
Corrections House would be founded in 2012 when Bruce Lamont and Scott Kelly (both residing in Oregon at the time) were obsessing over Neil Young and specifically the song "Cortez The Killer". When Neurosis performed a set in Chicago, the two jammed out their own take on "Cortez the Killer". The duo would contact Sanford Parker and Mike Williams to join the project, initially as separate touring duos and solo performers before it'd morph into it's own band.[2] The band would record material at Williams' house and elsewhere for a debut album and single. The band would announce a tour, with their debut live performance on 21 January 2012 at Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn.[3] The project would tour North America in January and February, following up by releasing a single in Hoax The System on 2 April 2013 followed by the band's debut album Last City Zero on 28 October 2013.
Further touring would take place in 2014 surrounding an appearance at Roadburn Festival as work on a follow-up began. Following an appearance at Roskilde and two shows at Thalia Hall supporting Sleep, another tour was intended as anticipation began for the follow-up.[4] The last string of shows of the tour would be canceled due to exhaustion[5] Further proposed tours would be canceled due to Mike Williams' health issues at the time.[6][7]
Corrections House's second and final album Know How to Carry a Whip would be released on 23 October 2015. The project largely went dormant and permanently ended in 2020. On 28 August 2022, Kelly would announce that he would be "permanently retiring" from music, along with publically admitting to engaging in "the emotional, financial, verbal and physical abuse" of his wife and children.[8] Around the time of this announcement, Sanford Parker made a statement of his own speaking out against Kelly, stating that Kelly cut all contact in January 2020 and that he'd find out about the extent of his abuse early the next year.[9]
