Bacchus Harsh is the alias of Melbourne artist Christian Bishop  – predominantly known in international music circles as Australian breakcore pioneer Xian.

Under this new alias, Bishop expands his already widescreen musical horizons to embrace an even broader creative cosmos. Bacchus Harsh is the sonic embodiment of occult-themed electronics and deconstructed club music. De-territorialising exotica, occult psychedelia and industrial techno with polyrhythms and distorted blast beats. Bacchus Harsh confuses the dance floor.

Bacchus Harsh has just released the expansive double LP Caveat Tumultum on Heavy Machinery Records.
