Album Notes & Community Reviews

Gathering the Australian group's heavily confrontational early 7-inch singles and EPs, 'Auto-da-f茅' captures the purest, most terrifying iteration of early industrial music. S.P.K. utilized grinding sheet metal, harsh synthesizer noise, and deeply disturbing clinical imagery to violently critique modern psychological conditioning. The compilation serves as an essential, horrifying bridge between academic noise experimentation and the rhythmic propulsion of early EBM.
