The Azoic are a female fronted Electronic Dance / Industrial EBM band originally based in Columbus, Ohio and officially began in February 1996. In 1998, they signed to Nilaihah Records and began their journey...

After 3 releases in North America, "Where Broken Angels Lie", "Forward" and "Conflict", The Azoic grabbed the attention of the German label, Infacted Recordings. On February 2, 2004, The Azoic debuted in Europe with their release, 'Forward + Conflict', which sold out in 6 months! They quickly made a mark and moved up to the no. 4 spot on the DAC [German Alternative Charts] and no. 2 on the DUC [Dutch Alternative Charts]. In 2004, The Azoic released their fourth full-length CD, 'Illuminate' and continued to polish their trademark style, even adding a cover of "Obsession", the 80's Animotion classic, with guest vocalist Frank Spinath of Seabound.

After a video game release (featuring "Conflict (Turmoil Mix)" on Microsoft XBox's 'Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 3' alongside vocal appearances featuring Kristy and several shows across the US and Europe, The Azoic continued to ascend. With 5 full-length releases, 2 EP's, 2 tours and over 50 shows, RMP chartings [US], 4 on the DAC charts + bullet on Native25 [Germany], 2 on the DUC charts [Netherlands], several magazine and webzine interviews (such as Zillo, Sonic Seducer, Side-Line, DNA Six, Industrial Nation, Gothic Beauty), a video, and appearances on numerous compilations, both nationally and internationally, The Azoic continued at the forefront of their genre.

The Azoic went on hiatus in 2006 after the departure of keyboardist Steve Laskarides; singer Kristy Venrick has since reformed the band with new keyboardist Eric E. and drummer, guitarist and keyboardist Andreas K. 2008 brought the release of 'Re:Illumination [the mixes].

Magnificent vocals are what make their fans wanting more and a passion for music is what keeps them going. Following a 14-year stint of writing, producing, and heading up The Azoic, lead singer, Kristy Venrick felt a need to forge ahead even further.

The Azoic is busy in the studio putting the finishing touches on a new EP, entitled "Corruption." With several live shows already scheduled in the United States, a new album in the works and CD release parties planned worldwide, 2010 is looking to be a promising year for The Azoic!!

[Kristy has also contributed vocals for Neuroactive (Finland), the Parallel Project (USA), Hungry Lucy (USA), Epsilon Minus (Canada) and many more...]


“...Kristy always does a remarkable job belting the vocals against the dramatic electro rhythms behind her… It's no wonder The Azoic are constantly on DJ playlists and request lists… For all the fans of electro looking for well produced and danceable music, check out The Azoic.” --Constantine, Gothic Beauty Magazine

Hahaha, anytime, it's always a pleasure to put in any cd you guys released so far.
Judging from the musical style of the Conflict EP, Forward, and Illuminate, I could almost assume that the Corruption EP will only surpass my expectations.
Do you have an updated tour schedule, contrary to whats on your site? I wouldn't mind going out of state to see you guys play.

You are too fucking old fatty.....And you....you're too fucking.......BLONDE!!

Oh yes, I won't fail to check in then. After what you guys put out already, I can't wait for something more. I must admire you on your vocals though, have you any idea how soothing they are? It's really something to relax, and dance to. You've pulled off such vocal caliber flawlessly.

Oh that's a must. I was a bit bummed that the NY show was postponed. Considering I just got into you guys a few months ago, it was something I was really looking forward to. But I suppose some things aren't in our power. Will there be an EP coming out soon?

Absolutely. I ordered Conflict, Forward, and Illuminate not to long ago. Even saved the little packing slip where you wrote a thank you and happy face :-p I like all your music equally, but I have to say, Forward is by far my favorite.

Surely will, thanks a million for clearing that up. I've never seen you guys play live, but when you do settle on a date, it would be great if you guys had clothing and past cd's at the merch table. Most shows I've been to recently the band's only had their most recent cd's and probably a sticker and button, nothing more.

You guys were suppose to be playing here in New York at Santos Party House, correct? I heard it was postponed though. Will it be at a later date here? Or was it cancelled altogether?
