The group was originally formed in 1995 by Ill Bill and MC Serch of 3rd Bass fame after many years of Bill, Goretex and Necro working together as a unit after growing up together in Glenwood Projects, which is located in Canarsie, Brooklyn. Ill Bill and Necro's short lived "New Minority" was a stepping stone for them as a rap act after disbanding their thrash metal band "Injustice" who had opened up for such popular thrash and death metal bands such as Sepultura, Obituary and Napalm Death. Ill Bill and Goretex's "The Dead Celebrities" was their next musical entity, which ran from 1992-1993 and can be found on Ill Bill's Early Years cd's as well as Necro's. Their second offering, the extreme "Department Of Forensics" which was active from 1993-1995 and also had featured producer 10K who went on to do early production for Non Phixion, was an experimental hardcore rap outfit combining horror elements with urban realism sounding like a cross between N.W.A and The Geto Boys on L.S.D.
After Ill Bill having a meeting with MC Serch, who was in his own words "Looking to form an all white group of MC's that rivaled the likes of Wu Tang Clan in skill and overall talent", they released their first single Legacy b/w No Tomorrow on Serch's own Serchlite Records that year. However, by late 1997, Serch and Non Phixion had parted ways. It was around this time that Bill started Uncle Howie Records and released Non Phixion's critically acclaimed "I Shot Reagan" single which was influenced by punk group Suicidal Tendencies own "I Shot Reagan". Originally all of Non Phixion's music was to be released through Hebrew National Records which was Ill Bill and Goretex's short lived business venture which later became Uncle Howie Records inspired by Howie Tennenbaum ,Bill's drug addicted biological uncle.The group featured unique subject matter such as government conspiracies, secret assassinations, alien cover-ups, drug addictions and occult and kabbalah sciences.
After previous record deals with Matador and Geffen their deal with Geffen fell apart, due to mismanagement and the group themselves issued a statement claiming MC Serch destroyed their deal and business ties to Geffen Records due to MC Serch's questionable financial ethics. They decided to work with Ill Bill's independent record label, Uncle Howie Records and distributor Landspeed Records. On April 23, 2002, the group released their debut album The Future Is Now. The album featuring production by DJ Premier, Pete Rock and Large Professor was quickly thought of as a classic and since its release has sold upwards of 200,000 copies. On April 6, 2004 they released The Green CD/DVD, a compilation of rare songs and rare interview, concert, and behind-the-scenes footage. Non Phixion's cult status had seen them travel all over the U.S and Europe with a rapid fan base and had set a new level of hip hop music with subject matter and lyrical dexterity not seen before nor arguably since.
In 2004 and 2005, all three emcees released diverse solo albums, all fully produced and released by Ill Bill's brother Necro on his label, Psycho+Logical-Records. Goretex's album was an Occult and Psychedelic opus , featuring dark and brooding production by Necro, sampling death metal riffs and obscure film score samples by Goretex. Ill Bill's album was along the lines of a traditional hardcore hip-hop album, while still maintaining the conspiracy themes native to Non Phixion. Sabac Red's album was a political album, focusing on current controversial issues such as the Iraq War and self improvement.
A collaboration album between Necro and the whole of Non Phixion called Secret Society was originally scheduled for a January 2006 release date, but had endured numerous delays and most likely will not see the light of day due to Necro's disinterest and or schedule. Non Phixion meanwhile planned to release their highly anticipated second album, Nuclear Truth, in 2006, but this release had also been officially canceled.
Ill Bill, Goretex and Necro instead started "Circle Of Tyrants", which some say is among their best work, together and separate. With extreme production by Necro, the group focused heavily on the macabre, occult, violence and chemical dependencies. Musically Necro's production mirrored obscure gore and horror atmospheres and a somewhat anti-religious soundscape. Many observers became fans including many non-hip hop musicians mostly from the death and black metal scene who were highly intrigued by the out of the ordinary, bizarre project which seemed to draw just as much from heavy metal imagery as they did hip hop. The group name was influenced by eighties occult- black death metal group Celtic Frost, which were influences of Goretex and Ill Bill during their youth. The cover artwork itself looks similar to a late eighties death metal or thrash metal album, with all members in different costumes and outfits. Necro is created as bloody-futuristic bounty hunter, Ill Bill as half-extraterrestrial, weilding weapons and Goretex as norweigian black metal satanist, donning long hair, corpsepaint, spikes and a shotgun.
Non Phixion disbanded in July 2006. There is much speculation surrounding this issue due to the cryptic and confusing statements made from the bands myspace page and online elsewhere.Officially, the group is said to have broken up because of Goretex's "unreliability" and "lack of interest." Necro went on a 8000 word rant about Goretex claiming drug addiction and other accusations, which mostly to die hard fans, true supporters and persons who know Goretex formally came off as little truth, immaturity and a general propaganda. Some say Necro being bitter about not being a member of Non Phixion may have contributed to this propaganda, some have said both have had qualms in the past due to their turbulent business relationship concerning financial matters surrounding Goretex's "The Art Of Dying" and "Circle Of Tyrants". Many, including Goretex himself has denied "lack of interest" and has said he had no desire to quit the group, or see it disband and up until January of 2008 has said he would like to see the group active. Sources have said the group was broken up over a female Ill Bill once dated. After letting Goretex stay at her apartment while dealing with legal issues and a turbulent break up with ex- girlfriend Stephanie Martin, a friendly gesture of good faith turned sour and nightmarish due to her severe alcohol and chemical addictions, premeditated a final plan to sabatoge Goretex's 20 year friendship with Ill Bill and Necro, which is said to have affected Goretex immensely. Ill Bill (Now a member of the recently formed La Coka Nostra), (which once ironically included Goretex), Sabac, and DJ Eclipse have all gone their separate ways solo, with plans to release The Hour of Reprisal (Strange Music/Uncle Howie), The Ritual (Psycho+Logical), and the Halftime Show DVD (Uncle Howie) in 2007, respectively. Sabac and DJ Eclipse continue to make live appearances with Ill Bill at his concerts and on tour as well as new appearances on Bill's new record.Goretex has severed ties with the group and is currently working on his follow up to cult classic "The Art Of Dying" which is to be released through his own independent label Supercoven, and is said to be released in October of 2008.

Drugs... drugs and music
[Hook]
"My drug music, theraputic to the user" - Mobb Deep
{*scratches*} Non Phixion - slam dance to it
(Verse One)
Fuck carry at the proms sabotage your god with the chron
Call my Dusk wildin I rapped any time for Black Helicopters
Smash a teleprompter blast in front the Black Sabbath concert
First role hospital nurse blow
Life is good in the hood and when I skis it snows
Portable hard drugs autoshotguns we got thugs
Get my cock sucked by rock groupies and pop sluts
Weird chicks, with big titties and pierced lips
Exotic dancers in love with Bill da fuck you think
Catch me at the barge whipping of the drugs n drink
Bloods n crips coke dealing thugs n pimps
Under the influence of things I bring to drug music
To shootin you up, and dope you with decomposed narcotics
Its dialibolical, your like a crack head prostitute
Without the loot, witness the music that's responsible
[Hook 4X]
"My drug music, theraputic to the user" - Mobb Deep
{*scratches*} Non Phixion - slam dance to it
(Verse Two)
Fighting a war inside my mind, I'm all lost the more i find
The more I ride toward the skies, open wide rain warm
You get ya brain torn, brain storm till the pain gone
We gon unify the streets against the beast so get your gang on
Hang on for life, o.d, relevant drugs
Herione buzz, my team some intelligent thugs
y'all fear emotion, my crew pack the dance floor
Like dance more me and my man's whore snap y'all like ham haul
Its like a jungle sometimes we life in gangland
Brooklyn, criminals thieves thugs and hoodlums
Cats'll pull they gun out, take over ya drug route
Then blow off ya legs n feet n order you to run out
I'm in a three piece on the streets like peace peace
But got guns for you cats who want to see a cease beat
I don't breathe right, my life don't seem right
I don't see nights, and won't until my whole family eats right
[Hook 4X]
"My drug music, theraputic to the user" - Mobb Deep
{*scratches*} Non Phixion - slam dance to it
(Verse Three)
I cop this buick with the seats pulled out in the back ways
I keep an ugly pack a villians like killers and crab gangs
Some are religious fastness, some are hype, some others blastin
Some are dead or in jail fathers or young bastards
I pump the drug music, abuse beats I been through it
S.P's and MPC's, OC's and QP's
Coke rocks to M3's Get jerz to VP's
Work our way up, we don't give a fuck who gets stuck
Getchu ate up, we saw the world layin the cut
I coulda went to college, stay in bed with drug scholars
Prayin for bricks, fancy whips plants n kicks
Exotic chicks...tounge pierced blow with the pussy flicks
Like click click, the papparattzi trippin off six
Ripping off kids, the shorty cat who whips with the clip
Like I'm in vegas with a trunk a coke
Up in ya projects and ya never know I'm sellin soap
Smellin the dope
Hold the pope in Brooklyn how we took his wallet plus his laptop
Jumped in the whip, skidded to the neighbor's crack spot

"My drug music, theraputic to the user" - Mobb Deep
{*scratches*} Non Phixion - slam dance to it
The song Drug Music by Non Phixion featuring Mobb Deep is an intense and raw tribute to the culture of drugs and music. The lyrics depict a life where drugs are a constant companion, and music is the therapy for its users. The question, "what is the most important thing in Uncle Howie's life?" is answered by the line, "drugs...drugs and music." The song is split into three verses, with each verse describing the various forms of drugs and their influence on the urban lifestyle. The verse starts with allusions to different aspects of urban culture, and then the lyrics move towards drugs and their effect on the lives of people. The chorus, with its repetition of "drug music, therapeutic to the user," is the perfect accompaniment to the song's intense lyrics.

I always felt Goretex was the most underrated rapper in the group, shit in general of the whole psychological camp..his lyrics for the most part really make you think in your head, always used complex metaphors etc. The Art Of Dying is probably my favorite solo next to Barn of the Naked Dead by Hyde

Yeah, he was the best with Bill a close-ish second. Goretex had the best metaphors, best / most varied references, and was fuckin flawless live. Best sounding voice too.
