“Echoes Before the Signal: The Story Behind the Band”
Posted on NoSignalEden.com
Before the noise. Before the chaos. Before Terminal Choir—there were four strangers navigating the silence in their own ways. What brought them together wasn’t just music. It was a shared ghost in the machine. It was the echo of a name whispered across circuits and scenes: Jimmy Nyra, and the haunting voice of The Sirens, before the death metal shift—back when they still made records that felt like prayers whispered through amplifier static.
Each member of No Signal Eden encountered that signal independently. It didn’t tell them what to sound like—it told them they had to speak. In a world where meaning dissolves on contact, finding your voice is the only act of rebellion.
💀 Jude Elwynn – Guitars / Vocals / Synth Arrangements
Age: 34 | Hometown: Fort Collins, CO
Influences: Oathbreaker, Daughters, Have a Nice Life, SUNN O))), Tim Hecker
Jude is the band’s tonal architect—wielding layers of dissonance, reverb decay, and glitch effects like emotional shrapnel. A former philosophy major turned reclusive sound designer, he found purpose after rediscovering The Sirens’ early ambient-drenched work.
Outside the Band: Jude writes fragmented poetry, restores broken analog synths, and does field recording in abandoned structures—“listening for ghosts.”
🥁 Evan Kross – Drums / Sample Manipulation
Age: 27 | Background: Pueblo, CO
Influences: The Chariot, Meshuggah, Nine Inch Nails, Igorrr
A chaos technician behind the kit, Evan doesn’t just drum—he decodes percussive noise into language. The first time he heard Jimmy Nyra’s live set from Mirage, TX (now infamous), he stopped using a metronome and started building his own rhythmic systems.
Outside the Band: Evan is a drone enthusiast, glitch video artist, and spends his weekends modifying old drum machines with unpredictable outputs.
🎸 Corvin Raye – Bass / Modular Synths / Spoken Interludes
Age: 31 | Hometown: Flagstaff, AZ
Influences: Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Coil, Neurosis, Swans
Corvin is the spiritual anchor of the group—his basslines drone like distant tectonic plates shifting. He handles the spoken-word interludes and atmospheric soundbeds that thread the band’s emotional core. The post-gaze side of The Sirens pulled him into this world—especially the lost demo tapes that traded online in the deep doom circles.
Outside the Band: Corvin paints large-format abstract landscapes, reads speculative theology, and is lowkey obsessed with desert ghost towns.
🎙 Amy Virella – Vocals / Band Manager
Age: 28 | From: Austin, TX
Influences: Emma Ruth Rundle, Julie Christmas, Marissa Nadler, Lingua Ignota
Amy didn’t grow up in a scene—she grew up searching for one. When she heard The Sirens’ “Lavender Ashes” EP through a late-night blog playlist, something clicked. She didn’t want to replicate that sound. She wanted to answer it. Her voice brings a raw and delicate humanity to No Signal Eden’s overwhelming sonic weight.
Outside the Band: Amy is a printmaker, herbalist, and writes surreal short fiction in her spare time. She also keeps the entire operation running as the band’s behind-the-scenes force.
📡 A Shared Frequency
Each member of No Signal Eden walked separate paths—through drone scenes, hardcore basements, art galleries, and DIY collectives. But they were all pulled into orbit by one thing: the feeling that someone out there had already started transmitting what they couldn’t yet say themselves. That someone was Jimmy Nyra, and those early Sirens of Sacrifice sounds, blending metal, ambient, and emotion without compromise.
Now, No Signal Eden sends out their own transmission.
Not as copycats.
Not as disciples.
But as responders to a call that still echoes through cracked speakers, digital fog, and forgotten frequencies.
This is their voice.
This is their signal.
You found it.
