As Snakes of Russia, Los Angeles based producer Joseph Holiday works hazy dark sound design, low end rumble and rolling downtempo beats into tracks that evoke a dystopian landscape…creating heavy cinematic instrumental electronic music that feels as timeless as it does current.

His debut EP “At Home Alone With Lions” came in early 2020, followed by remixes, film work, sound design projects for Ableton Live and Spitfire Audio, and a collaboration with Berlin based artist/composer Robot Koch.

For his upcoming LP release “True Surrender” on Modular Field/Rough Trade, he worked with renowned metal producer Kurt Ballou (Converge, High on Fire, Chelsea Wolfe) at his God City studio in Salem, MA to explore a heavier sound overall, experimenting with different techniques such as re amping synths through guitar cabinets, drum machines through PA speakers, and live drums… to expand the sonic palette and make his heaviest work to date.
