The Sweet Meats Slaughterhouse was founded in 1895 by Wilhelm Schröder. Internationally known for his advances in industrialized butchery...he produced 30% of the meats consumed in the United States. In 1915 tragedy struck the small town he called home when all the livestock took some unexplained fatal disease. The ever resourceful Schröder turned to the only available meat. The townsfolk. When they discovered the terrible truth - they enacted their own form of justice. Feeding the once prolific Schröder to his own machines. The Sweet Meats Slaughterhouse remained eerily quiet and vacant..until one night...horrible noises resembling music emanated from the dank hallways.  

A unique synthpop/ electrorock group featuring a new face and seasoned musicians from Portland projects you might remember - Herkermer, Dutch Boy Fingers, T-Minus, Sweaty Nipples and more. Combining collective backgrounds in punk, metal, classical and trance Photona is its own synthy thing. With power drums, synth heavy sensibilities, heavy guitar and huge vocals, Photona takes a tidy trip to frustrated alien landscapes.
