Album Notes & Community Reviews

Minimal Man's debut documented the San Francisco underground at the intersection of post-punk, industrial electronics, and confrontational performance art. Patrick Miller's bleak vocal presence and the record's stark textures gave 'The Shroud Of' a reputation as one of the darker releases from the early American industrial-adjacent scene.
