The move across the Atlantic prior to starting his work on the critically acclaimed “Metanoia” album not only brought with it an escape route from his illness, it also came to involve new and interesting collaborations. The last five years have seen five album releases (including “Everything is Burning”) alongside four world tours and more than 150 shows, making IAMX an internationally revered band.Īfter struggling with mental illness for a long time, Corner has managed to come at peace with his long-term clinical depression and conquered his personal abyss after leaving his residence in Berlin to settle in Los Angeles. Or his video work – last year he directed Gary Numan’s “I Am Dust” video. And that doesn’t take into account the wide array of singles and EP:s, or his collaborations with other artists. The pioneering dark electronic album “Kiss + Swallow”, to some part meant to be the fourth Sneaker Pimps album, was released in 2004 and has been followed by eight additional releases including two remix albums, “Dogmatic Infidel Comedown OK” and “Everything Is Burning (Metanoia Addendum)”. London – Berlin – LAĬhris Corner has been exceptionally productive during his whole career with IAMX. After releasing his eighth album “Alive in a New Light”, Chris is hopeful after some dark years and his personal battle against clinical depression and chronic insomnia. Release met up with the brainchild of IAMX before his show in Hamburg and had a chat about being difficult to work with, a brighter future and having ”a Skinny Puppy”, Cevin Key, to look after his puppy while being on tour. Ex-Sneaker Pimps singer Chris Corner’s alter-ego IAMX is back with his dark electronic fusion of music genres.
