Review: Although Corrupted is being trailed as a "mysterious Japanese doom metal band formed in 1994", the label credits suggest it's actually the work of long-serving industrial producer Martin Bowes (previously a member of such forthright combos as Attrition, Pigface and Engram). "Felicific Algorithim" is an intensely uncomfortable and mind-altering affair, where sampled screams and redlined white noise rise above the distortion-splattered doom of the aggressive and twisted backing track. The 13-minute A-side version is, in many ways, terrifying in its disconcerting and fragmented approach, while the flipside, a kind of dark ambient version based around foreboding held notes and barely audible vocal samples, sounds like the work of lauded noisenik Dominick Fenrow.

Review: There is little to say about Coil apart from the fact that have been one of the most important groups in the industrial scene since the mid-1980s, and that they've had a massive effect on the state of electronic music today. The band formed and led by John Balance is particularly important for the latter because of the Backwards sound that they developed into the 1990's. This present compilation by Cold Spring is a comprehensive review of the Backwards sound, an incredible blend of dance beats and raucous noise infusions powered by an unmistakable EBM flavour that links up nicely with the likes of Nitzer Ebb, and that whole posse. "Fire Of The Green Dragon" is one of our personal favourites, a gorgeous twist of dubbed-about beat mechanics, and "Heaven's Blade" is exactly the sort of psychedelic, voice-driven techno that we're into these days. This is a must. For fans of all electronic music types. Killer.

Review: In 1992, Coil followed up their critically acclaimed '91 album "Love's Secret Domain" with a set of outtakes, unreleased songs and alternate versions recorded during the same sessions. Of course, little they produced in that period was ever less than inspired, and "Stolen and Contaminated Songs" was a far better set than its "odds and ends" nature suggested it would be - as this timely reissue proves. Flitting between string-drenched neo-classical, exotic Indian soundscapes, otherworldly ambient-jazz, Cabaret Voltaire style industrial-electro, contemporaneous ambient house dreaminess, beat-free soundscapes and weird electronic experiments, it's a kaleidoscopic and hugely entertaining affair that's well worth a place in your collection.

Review: This is something very special indeed for fans of both Nine Inch Nails and Coil, as unreleased remixes from the British avant-garde band of Trent Reznor's legendary band are finally released. Originally made almost 20 years ago, these tracks were featured on a bootleg called Uncoiled last year, but here see an official version thanks to the Cold Spring label. The centrepiece is Coil's version of "Closer" which featured on the opening credits of David Fincher's 1995 film Se7en, but each of the other tracks - which were supposedly tracked down by a NIN forum member - including their breakbeat revision of "Gave Up" and disturbing vocal treatment on "A Downward Spiral" are gems for fans of both acts alike.

Review: Recoiled, the collaboration between Coil and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, is a stunning blend of the former's avant-garde sensibilities and 90s hi-tech mixing techniques. Originally mixed in the early studios of Danny Hyde and Peter Christopherson, these tracks were the result of Reznor sending over the original multi-tracks for them to remix. The album features fuller, more opulent versions of tracks like 'Closer,' which was used in the opening credits of the movie 'Se7en' , and are characterised by their pre-Ableton tech, with bespoke effects created with baby alarms and wires. Some of these previously released in part on the download-only Uncoiled but this version includes a previously unheard bonus track from the same sessions. Remastered beautifully, Recoiled is a testament to Coil and Reznor's joint genius, with each track offering a thrilling, darkly atmospheric journey into the realms of industrial music.

Review: Recoiled is a collaborative remix EP by Coil and Nine Inch Nails, showcasing an experimental fusion of industrial and electronic music. Originally recorded in the early 90s, the EP features reworked versions of tracks from Nine Inch Nails' iconic albums, including Gave Up and Closer. Coil's signature dark, atmospheric soundscapes and Trent Reznor's aggressive, raw energy create a captivating and haunting listening experience. The release offers a rare glimpse into the innovative synergy between two pioneering acts in the industrial genre, both of which remain favourites to this day.

Review: Where do we even start with the Cold Spring label? The UK institution has been putting out any music that's remotely related to the industrial domain for over twenty years, and they have featured some pretty legendary names on the label. Names like Psychic TV, Merzbow, Genesis P-Orridge and Skullflower, among many others, and have even mashed that up with visionary legends like Sun Ra. They've got a pretty special line-up this time with Zos Kia, Coil, and Ake all appearing on the same LP. Enough said, brothers and sisters. John Gosling might be the only remaining member of legendary 80s industrial outfit Zos Kia, but it's clear from the sounds of his first five segments that he's still operating with exactly the same menace and dexterity behind the mixing board; this is your thing if you're into bizarre noise infusions and gnarly power electronics. The man teams up with legendary band Coil, spear-headed by ex-Psychic TV member John Balance, and together they offer some pretty foreboding noise-rock cross-overs. Ake's final two tracks tie things off with a devilish twist of tooled-up field recordings that give the term 'bleak' a new meaning. A special release. Don't miss this.
