The Ichneumon Method (And Less Welcome Techniques) is the debut album by British cinematic industrial black metal band The Axis of Perdition. It was released in 2003 on Rage of Achilles, catalogue number ILIAD035.
The name of the title is a reference to the ichneumon wasp, which lays the eggs of its young in other insects. When the eggs hatch, the baby wasps eat their way through the body of their host.

Notes
"A Ruined Nation Awakens" begins with a sample of Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus in The Matrix, and ends with a clip from the movie Event Horizon. The song "Born Under the Knife, Live in Pain" begins with a sound sample of Cheryl from the first Silent Hill video game. The lyrics to "Forms on the Other Side of Silence" are a near-100% quotation of the Stephen King short story "Crouch End" from his Nightmares & Dreamscapes collection."
