History


Numb was founded by Don Gordon, David Hall and Sean Stubbs in 1986.[2][3] The band issued their self-titled debut studio album Numb in 1987 on Edge and World Records.[4] Their second album Christmeister was released by Lively Art in 1989.[5][6][7]

The band's third album Death on the Installment Plan, released in 1993, featured weird electronic tape-loops overlaid with heavily distorted vocals.[8] The 1994 album Wasted Sky used some of the same techniques, but with a darker feel and more technically varied approach.[9][10]

Singer David Collins joined the band in 1995; the band released its fifth album, Blood Meridian, which contained strong, violent electronic sound but no guitar music, in 1997.[11][12][13] Two years later, Numb recorded the electronic dance album Language of Silence, released through Metropolis.[14] The tracks on this album were somewhat quieter and darkly intense.[15][16][17][18][19]

Following the release of one final single, "Suspended", Numb disbanded in 1998, and Gordon moved to Vietnam to live with his wife.[20]

After what was considered by many to be a retirement of the project and Don Gordon from the music scene in general, an album of new material was made available via Bandcamp on August 23, 2019 titled Mortal Geometry.
