-==Background==
-===Musical characteristics===
-Erickson has been experimenting with music in several forms since the late 1980s, from [[punk rock|punk]] and [[funk]] to electronic music, which he now prefers. While he enjoys creating music which falls under a variety of electronic genres, the overall theme of his work with the band Velvet Acid Christ is typically negative, culturally critical, and [[misanthropy|misanthropic]]; his work with Toxic Coma is a more experimental blend of the same with intentional humor that often strays into [[parody]].
-Erickson expresses many elements from his personal life through his music. For example, he is a practicing [[veganism|vegan]]&mdash;fluctuating occasionally between a [[raw food diet]] and a cooked diet&mdash;and sometimes discusses this in his lyrics. Similarly and more frequently, he expresses his beliefs regarding [[animal rights]], [[human rights]], [[capitalism]], and [[Religion]].
-Erickson claims to draw most of his creative inspiration from an abusive, repressed childhood and the "impurities" of modern [[Western culture]].  He has also been inspired by a diverse array of other musicians and their works; these influences range from bands such as [[Skinny Puppy]], [[Orbital (band)|Orbital]], and [[The Legendary Pink Dots]] to more mainstream acts like [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]], [[The B52's]], and [[Garbage (band)|Garbage]].<ref name="vacfaq">{{
