Ben Chasny is a renowned Indie Rock and Psych-Folk guitarist. His primary projects are Six Organs of Admittance (his solo Psych Folk project) and Comets on Fire (a psychedelic rock band). He made his recording debut in 1996 with his heavy, free rock project Plague Lounge on "The Wicker Image", an LP released conjointly between the New World of Sound and Holy Mountain labels. Holy Mountain went on to become the "home" of many of his releases under the Six Organs Of Admittance moniker. He has also released an album with Hiroyuki Usui under the name "August Born". That many people in the music community admire his guitar work is attested to by his often being asked to lend his talents to other projects such as Badgerlore, Double Leopards, Current 93 and Magik Markers both in live performance and studio albums)[citation needed].
