About Sebastian Komor
Sebastian R. Komor was born in Zabrze, Poland, on May 7, 1976, and moved to Norway in 1981, where he grew up in Fredrikstad’s EBM and industrial scene alongside acts such as Apoptygma Berzerk. He released his first demo in 1992 and recorded under names including Melt, Area51, Sector9 and Moonitor before teaming up with fellow Fredrikstad musician Andy LaPlegua. That collaboration led to the formation of Icon of Coil in 1997; Komor became a full member during the production of the debut single “Shallow Nation” in 2000 and went on to co-write the albums “Serenity Is the Devil” (2000), “The Soul Is in the Software” (2002) and “Machines Are Us” (2004).
Komor relocated to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, in 2004. The following year he started Zombie Girl with Renee Cooper, releasing an EP in 2006 and the album “Back From the Dead” on Alfa Matrix and Metropolis Records in 2007. He later signed to FiXT for the solo hard techno and industrial project Squarehead, released the techno/tribal album “To the Past From the Future in the Present” as Moonitor, and continued his dark techno and EBM alias Komor Kommando, whose releases include the “One By One” EP on Alfa Matrix in 2022.
Beyond his own projects, Komor built an extensive catalogue as a producer, mixer and mastering engineer, working with artists including Apoptygma Berzerk, Front Line Assembly, Ayria, Covenant, Circle of Dust and The True Union. His project Bruderschaft brought him together with Ronan Harris of VNV Nation, Joakim Montelius of Covenant, and Stephan Groth of Apoptygma Berzerk. SRK Group, launched with “Spitfire” on Infacted Recordings, is his newest outlet after roughly three decades in the electronic underground.

For almost 15 years I’ve been writing about music, interviewing artists and reviewing releases for Peek-A-Boo Magazine. Recently, I also launched my own WordPress website, where I continue to share interviews, reviews and news from the underground scene. The darker side of music has been part of my life for more than 30 years, with a passion for everything from ’80s synthpop and New Wave to EBM, Futurepop and dark electronic music in general. Also Metal and Rock is part of my world. Away from the scene, I work in a public library, where books are part of my everyday life. I enjoy both fiction and non-fiction, especially books on politics, religion, health and travel. I’m also a fan of thrillers and horror films. When I’m not listening to music or reading, you’ll usually find me exploring nature, enjoying a good sauna, experimenting with vegan cooking, or travelling to my second home, Finland. I’ve always believed the underground has the best stories. My job is simply to help tell them
