'''Fiction 8''' is a Colorado-based dark wave and industrial rock group, originally formed under the name Creeping Eruption in 1989.
==History==
===Formation: Creeping Eruption to Fiction 8 (1989–1994)=== Michael Smith (aka Michael Alan) and Michael Lauter ({{ne|Lepper}}) met while attending Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado in 1989. The pair shared a fondness for dark electronic music—including bands like Click Click, Front Line Assembly, and Leæther Strip—and began experimenting with making their own. By the beginning of 1991 they had recorded eight songs which became their first cassette, ''Eruption of the Mind'', which they released under the name '''Creeping Eruption'''.<ref name="kucb-1993">{{cite journal |last1=Kiehne |first1=Thomas |editor1-last=Durland |editor1-first=Tim |title=The Colorado Motherboard: Creeping Eruption |journal=KUCB Program Guide |date=1993 |page=21 |location=Boulder, CO}}</ref>
The band subsequently relocated to Boulder, CO, where they played several shows and produced a video for the track "Burn" which was aired on the KBDI TV's Teletunes video music program.<ref name="kucb-1993" /> In 1992, the band contributed a track for the compilation ''The Cyberflesh Conspiracy'' on the If It Moves... (later Re-Constriction Records) label.<ref name="sonicboom">{{cite journal|first=Chris |last=Christian |url=https://sonic-boom.com/review/cyberflesh.conspiracy.html |title=Various Artists: ''The Cyberflesh Conspiracy'' |journal=Sonic Boom |date=October 1995 |volume=3 |issue=8 |accessdate=17 January 2022}}</ref> Around this time, Smith temporarily augmented the live lineup of recent Denver transplants, Society Burning.<ref name="fabryka-2007">{{cite web |last1=Górnisiewicz |first1=Katarzyna |first2=Brian |last2=Backlash |title=Society Burning - Interview |url=http://fabryka.darknation.eu/php-files_en/articles.php?article_id=69 |website=Fabryka Music Magazine |accessdate=17 January 2022 |date=3 May 2007}}</ref>
During the remainder of 1992, Lepper worked to complete his computer science degree at the University of Colorado at Boulder, leaving Smith to record the majority of the band's second cassette, ''Dichotomy''.<ref name="kucb-1993" /> Released in January 1993, the ten tracks on ''Dichotomy'' were noted for presenting a "softer EBM" style.<ref name="crewzine-6">{{cite journal |last1=Petro |first1=Roman |title=Review: Creeping Eruption: Dichotomy |journal=Crewzine |date=April 1994 |issue=6 |page=48 |location=Bratislava, Slovakia}}</ref> That year the band enlisted the assistance of Andrea DiNapoli of Boulder band Venus Walk and percussionist James Schrechengost (aka James Ess). With Smith's assistance, Schrechengost built a custom digital drum kit that became a central fixture of early Fiction 8 live shows.<ref name="kucb-1993" />
By 1994, the band changed their name to Fiction 8, citing their misrepresentation as a metal band and other perversions of their original name, "Creeping Eruption."<ref name="bandcamp-eruption">{{cite web |title=Eruption of the Mind |url=https://fiction8.bandcamp.com/album/eruption-of-the-mind |website=Bandcamp |access-date=17 January 2022 |date=12 December 2021}}</ref> That year, Smith issued the first release as Fiction 8, the cassette EP ''In The Dark'', without contributions from Lepper but with production credits by Dave DeVoe of Denver band New Ben Franklins. The EP included several new tracks along with versions of three Creeping Eruption tracks: a live recording of "The Killing Season" and remixes of "Burn" and "Strangers In The Garden".<ref name="crewzine-8">{{cite journal |last1=Gürtler |first1=Richard |title=Review: Fiction 8: In the Dark |journal=Crewzine |date=1995 |issue=8 |page=60 |location=Bratislava, Slovakia}}</ref> In addition to releasing ''In The Dark'', the band reissued ''Dichotomy'' under the Fiction 8 name.<ref name="infectious">{{cite journal |last1=Weaver |first1=Rodney |title=Audio Examinations: Fiction 8 – Dichotomy |journal=Infectious Substance |date=1994 |volume=1 |issue=1 |page=30}}</ref><ref name="indus_nation_10">{{cite journal |author=Leech |editor1-last=Valerio |editor1-first=Paul |title=Fiction 8 - In the dark/Dichotomy |journal=Industrialnation |date=Spring 1995 |volume=1 |issue=10 |page=65 |location=Iowa City, IA |issn=1062-449X |publisher=Moon Mystique}}</ref> Over the following two years, the band achieved numerous appearances in Europe on compilations by Discordia,<ref name="crewzine-elektrauma">{{cite journal |last1=Gürtler |first1=Richard |title=Elektrauma CD Compilation |journal=Crewzine |date=1995 |issue=8 |page=18 |location=Bratislava, Slovakia}}</ref> Side-Line, and Celtic Circle Productions,<ref name="musicbrainz-comps">{{cite web |title=Fiction 8 Releases |url=https://musicbrainz.org/artist/ffce55ff-e9b3-409f-9a66-3e55a616623d/releases?va=1 |website=MusicBrainz |access-date=17 January 2022}}</ref> and in America on the Ras Dva Records quad compilation ''There is No Time''<ref name="sonic-boom-ras-dva">{{cite web |title=The Ras Dva Quadruple Compilation: There Is No Time |url=https://sonic-boom.com/review/there.is.no.time-1.html |website=Sonic Boom |access-date=17 January 2022}}</ref> and SDS Productions' ''Biotech 01'' compilation.<ref name="crewzine-biotech">{{cite journal |last1=Gürtler |first1=Richard |title=Biotech 01 tape Compilation |journal=Crewzine |date=1995 |issue=8 |page=36 |location=Bratislava, Slovakia}}</ref>
===Label years: ''Dissonance InDifference'' through ''Project Phoenix'' (1995–2014)=== thumb|right|alt= Fiction 8, circa 1996, l-r Michael Smith, David DeVoe, Steven Hart| Fiction 8, circa 1996 By 1995, DeVoe became a formal member of the band. That year also saw the band's first CD release, ''Dissonance InDifference'', on the German label Discordia.<ref name="sonic-dissonance">{{cite web |last1=Congdon |first1=Kevin |title=Fiction 8: Dissonance InDifference |url=https://sonic-boom.com/review/fiction.8-1.html |website=Sonic Boom |access-date=23 January 2022}}</ref> The release consisted of tracks from previous releases along with several new tracks, including the track "Medusa" which featured guest vocals by Malgorjata Wacht of Siren Project.<ref name="dissonance-book">{{cite AV media notes|id=DISC 065 CD|author=Fiction 8|pages=2–3|publisher=Discordia|title=Dissonance InDifference|type=booklet|year=1995}}</ref>
After ''Dissonance'', Smith and DeVoe were joined by Steven Hart of Denver band Monastery and work began on new material. ''Spirits'' was completed in 1997 and featured all new material including a cover of the Siouxsie and the Banshees song, "Happy House". The CD was released by European label Matrix Cube (a subsidiary of Trinity Records, which later became Trisol Music Group) and was mastered at John Sellekaers' Metarc studio in Brussels.<ref name="spirits-book">{{cite AV media notes|id=TRI 013 CD|author=Fiction 8|publisher=Trinity Records|title=Spirits|type=traycard|year=1997}}</ref> Although completed in 1997, the CD wasn't formally released until 1998.<ref name="bandcamp-spirits">{{cite web |title=Fiction 8 – Spirits |url=https://fiction8.bandcamp.com/album/spirits |publisher=Bandcamp |access-date=18 January 2022}}</ref>
DeVoe left Colorado after the completion of ''Spirits'', effectively ending his participation in the band. By 1999, the remaining members were joined by multi-instrumentalist and singer Mardi Jones ({{nee|Salazar}}, aka "Paisli"), who had already been working on promoting the band before being asked to join.<ref name="new-empire">{{cite web |last1=South |first1=Evan |title=Interview: Fiction 8 |url=http://www.fiction8.com/newempire.html |access-date=23 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20011229082625/http://www.fiction8.com/newempire.html |archive-date=29 December 2001 |date=28 January 2001|url-status=dead}}</ref> That year the band played alongside other Colorado bands in the "Underground Against Violence" show, a fundraiser for charities related to the Columbine High School massacre organized to bring awareness to "anti-goth" discrimination in the wake of the event.<ref name="westword-1999">{{cite web |last1=Roberts |first1=Michael |title=Music News: Feedback |url=https://www.westword.com/music/feedback-5059962 |website=Westword |access-date=23 January 2022 |date=3 June 1999}}</ref>

===Independence (2015–present)=== After ''Project Phoenix'', the band began self-producing their music releases beginning with 2015's ''Dark Star Disarray''. The switch away from label support also saw a marked decrease in live shows in deference to the band spending more time on songwriting and recording. For instance, the recording session for ''Dark Star Disarray'' yielded 25 songs which was winnowed down to the 10 track CD release.<ref name="sideline-2019">{{cite web |author1=Inferno Sound Diaries |title='Click Interview' with Fiction 8: 'Streaming Has Become To Music As Plastic Is To Food' |url=https://www.side-line.com/click-interview-with-fiction-8-streaming-has-become-to-music-as-plastic-is-to-food/ |website=Side-Line |access-date=14 February 2022 |date=10 April 2019}}</ref> By this time the band's lineup changed again with the return of DeVoe and the addition of composer and sound designer Heather Valey ({{nee|Sowards}}).<ref name="sideline-darkstar">{{cite web |last1= Van Isacker |first1=Bernard |title=Fiction 8 prepare new album 'Dark Star Disarray' for September release |url=https://www.side-line.com/fiction-8-prepare-new-album-dark-star-disarray-for-september-release/ |website=Side-Line |access-date=14 February 2022 |date=7 September 2015}}</ref> The album was characterized as having a diverse darkwave and synth-pop sound that is on "the soft (but still dark side) of electro[-industrial]."<ref name="pab-2015">{{cite web |last1=Saey |first1=Ruben |title=Review: Fiction 8: Dark Star Disarray |url=http://www.peek-a-boo-magazine.be/en/reviews/fiction-8-dark-star-disarray/ |website=Peek-A-Boo Music Magazine |access-date=14 February 2022 |date=17 September 2015}}</ref>

The band initially planned to follow-up the release of ''The Bleak Disease'' with an EP, but ended up releasing an album length release consisting of remixes from ''Disease'' and two new tracks.<ref name="sideline-2019" /> The result was ''Constructive Interference'' which included remixes by Probe 7 and former Nilaihah labelmates, Interface,<ref name="sideline-constructive">{{cite web |author1=Inferno Sound Diaries |title=Fiction 8 – Constructive Interference |url=https://www.side-line.com/fiction-8-constructive-interference-cd-album-fiction-8/ |website=Side-Line |access-date=14 February 2022 |date=10 September 2019}}</ref> as well as Fiction 8's own 20th anniversary remix of "Let Go".<ref name="sideline-2019" />
