Yeht Mae Explained
Yeht Mae was an electro-industrial band from California which began in 1988 by vocalist and keyboard programmer Jeremy Daw. Daw was later joined by vocalist Lynda Sterling and released two self-distributed cassette demos. Their first CD 1000 Veins was released by the British gothic/industrial label Gymnastic Records whose albums were pressed in Germany.
In 1992, Daw wanted to find a new label and sent a demo tape to Zoth Ommog Records label head Talla 2XLC of the band Bigod 20. Unbeknownst to Daw, his track "Proximity Effect" had already found its way onto the Zoth Ommog compilation Body Rapture II, which helped in achieving a contract with the label.[1] The band went on to release two albums on the label, Anatomy in 1992 and Transmitter in 1994.
The band's primary lyrical themes cover strange subjects such as death, experimental surgery, and alien abductions.[2]
Daw later formed T.H.C. (originally named "The Hard Corps") with George Sarah of Stereotaxic Device.
