The not well-known industrial-metal band Church of the 9 Candles (also not well-known as C9C) is poised to remain obscure. Both of their CDs are recorded and unreleased. This page will periodically update the availability of those recordings.

The line-up has been Ken Gage (lead vocals), Mike Schusler (lead & rhythm guitars), Mike Daffenberg (more guitar) and Pat Thomas (keyboardist of In-Pulse), as well as a dash of input from Chris Schusler, Sean Carson, Grant Sills and Derrick Larson.

When asked about their lack of a drummer, Ken responded, "We're not a traditional band. I wouldn't even call our music rock. So it's not like we need a drummer to fit into that generic formula of rock music. Not every song needs percussion. And for those that do, the beat can be carried by any repetitive sound -- crickets, forge hammers, crunched glass, howls of agony... Besides, most drummers are assholes. That's why Satan created the drum machine."
