With roots dating back to the early days of the industrial rock genre, 16Volt have been successfully crossing over into multiple related genres for over three decades and retained a healthy worldwide fan base while doing so.
Group founder, songwriter, lead vocalist, programmer and rhythm guitarist Eric Powell actually signed his first record deal in 1991 while still in his teens and released debut album ‘Wisdom’ in 1993.
This newly remastered version of ‘Wisdom’ marks its first ever appearance on vinyl (in a translucent yellow edition), while the digital format has been expanded to include five bonus tracks (already available on some streaming services).
The orginal album was recorded at Chicago Trax Recording Studio (Chicago, Illinois) and Whitehorse Studios (Portland, Oregon) and co-produced by Powell with Dave ‘Rave’ Ogilvie and Keith ‘Fluffy’ Auerbach.
A brand new album by 16Volt is being prepared for release in summer 2025 via Metropolis Records.
