Album Notes & Community Reviews

Intended as functional ritual music dedicated to the accumulation of male sexual energy, this mesmerizing debut operates far outside the conventional boundaries of industrial music. Consisting of a single, slow-building drone constructed from gongs, bullroarers, and heavy tape manipulation, the profoundly meditative atmosphere firmly established the esoteric, occult-obsessed trajectory of John Balance and Peter Christopherson.
