John Lithium

John Lithium Discography 2000-2025 (Updated 03/21/2026)

This is a mostly comprehensive, but frequently slightly out-of-date list of the musical material I have released so far, in addition to compilation appearances, remix projects, collaborative efforts, and so on. Nearly all of my musical and artistic work is Creative Commons Attribution licensed (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en), so if you want to remix it or incorporate it into your project, feel free. Just be sure to credit it to John Lithium and include the https://johnlithium.com/ website. Thank you.

Most of the releases are listed chronologically, though sometimes newer remasters, other releases, and singles may not be. In the case of a remaster, usually only the newest version will be included in the list. Singles that were initially released by themselves will often be put in a singles collection or removed once the main album comes out.

Currently Bandcamp is where you can find my music, with a few tracks being exclusive to YouTube. I may expand this to other platforms in the future.

My current projects are my solo project John Lithium and the industrial project Golden Cudgel. I also had a power-electronics/noise project Nihil Obstat active in the 2010s, but this project is currently on hiatus. I also had a few other projects active in the early 2000s, but most of these either did not release anything publicly or were later merged into the John Lithium project for one reason or another. Terra Engine was the main project active back then.
