Baltimore, United States (1999 – present)
Ego Likeness was created in 1999 by artist Steven Archer, a DC native, and writer Donna Lynch in Baltimore, Maryland. Taking their name from Frank Herbert’s classic science fiction novel Dune, the band began as an experimental/ dark trip hop project. A demo called ‘Songs From a Dead City’, recorded on a four track, was released in 1999.
By 2000, Archer and Lynch were moving the project in a darker electronic/dance direction, resulting in a self-released full length album entitled ‘Dragonfly’.
After a short hiatus from recording and a lengthy period of trial, error, and revision, and many regional live performances, Ego Likeness signed with Dancing Ferret Discs/ Noir Records for the release of 2004’s ‘Water to the Dead’. This album featured the band’s electronic roots while exploring a bit of a heavier rock
sound.
2005 saw the band tour Germany, Luxembourg, and the continental US with label mates The Cruxshadows, as well as performing at several festivals on the east and west coast, including Convergence 11 (San Diego CA), Dracula’s Ball (Philadelphia PA), Black Sun Festival I (New Haven CT), Freaks United (DC), Eccentrik Festival I (Raleigh NC), and others.
Their first album ‘Dragonfly’ was re-released on Dancing Ferret Discs in 2005.
In addition to The Cruxshadows, they have had the honour to share the stage with Voltaire, The Damned, Chris Connelly, Collide, Razed in Black, Bella Morte, Das Ich, Rasputina, The Start, Iris, Decoded Feedback, The Azoic, More Machine Than Man, In Strict Confidence, Combichrist, and many others.

Pretty sure Donna and Steven are far from religious if their Facebooks are anything to go by.

Can't help but feel that there is a lot of Christian symbolism in some of their lyrics (but I'm not insinuating anything directly), but the thing I think about the most whenever I listen to Ego Likeness is how many of their songs start with the letter "S"....

Not even a million plays!? These guys are so underrated! "Order of the Reptile" is one of my favorite albums of all time, can't wait for Know Thine Enemy.

New album (already!) in 2011 called Know Thine Enemy. "Yeah, we have music for about 17 songs written. They are much more guitar/rock oriented... Think tracks like Breedless or Water to the Dead, but more syncopated and crunchy..."

Id highly recommend Donna's book "Isbael Burning" to anyone who loves Ego Likeness, it's one of the best debut novels Iv ever read. It'll dig it's own little space in your head and live there for the rest of your life, it won't leave. I believe she's working on her second novel too.

I think I prefer them in heavier performance, altough I like older stuffs too, but ' You Better Leave The Stars Alone ' is best.

Nobody has any opinion on their new sound? I must say I was a little disappointed it was a lot heavier sounding. I don't know, I guess I must listen to it a few more times.
