About

In 2000, Pound of Flesh released their debut record "Red & Black" and received critical acclaim and support from 250+ radio stations across the US and charted within the top five of several of those stations.

During performing regionally in support of the POF record, Darrell met Al Jourgersen from "Ministry" and he came on board to produce the record. Darrell was stoked—. Al Jourgensen is the godfather of industrial music and the fact that he wanted to produce his record... words cannot express Darrell's excitement. It wasn't too long after Darrell started working with Al when he was asked if i'd be interested in playing keyboards for the 2003 Ministry tour. He said hell yeah and headed off to Hell Passhole for Ministry boot camp rehearsals then hit the road.

He came back to play keyboards on the 2004 Ministry tour, and while on the road he wrote and recorded tunes with Mike Scaccia and Louis Svitek. A couple of the tracks they worked on together will be included on the new POF record. He had an incredible time and felt very lucky to have the opportunity to tour with such a legendary group and all the madness that it was. In 2005 Darrell worked with Al in Hell Passhole doing keyboard and engineering work on Ministry "Ranthology", Revolting cocks "cocked and loaded", and Ministry Rio Grande blood records which earned him a couple grammy nominations. He continued to work with Ministry until 2006 when he felt it was time to get back home to Chicago.

The next couple of years Darrell worked with guitarist Mike Scaccia ( Ministry , Rigor Mortis ) and wrote a bunch of Metal tunes together. Halloween 2010 Darrell felt it was time to get back to work on Pound of Flesh. Mixing his experiences with Ministry with his style of industrial/dance music has created a new hybrid of music that won't be denied.

2012 is here and the shylock is back for his Pound of Flesh.

We will all pay the price.

Reviews

Billboard: By Larry Flick
"racy, jock-grabbing. A powerful bridge between nostalgic music and forward-reaching visions. Ultimately relatable. A vehicle for catharsis, the kind that leaves you spent yet oddly invigorated. This is deep stuff, kids, that will take you on a journey that you will want to experience again and again."

Alternative Press: By Jason Pettigrew
"Pound of Flesh has swiveled the heads industrimental fans. You'll like POF."

CMJ New Music Report: By M Tye Comer
"POF's frontman Darrell Probst's adds a catchy, unusually melodic edge to this outfit."

The Album Network: By Leigh Taylor
"Chicago, home to many creative visionaries has a new pioneer to add to its resume. Pound of Flesh is unafraid to take chances and expand musical horizons with extraordinary ideas. POF is fiery and wicked, intriguing and deviant."
