Coil (band)
Coil were an English experimental music group formed in 1982 in London and dissolved in 2005. Initially envisioned as a solo project by musician John Balance (of the band Psychic TV), Coil evolved into a full-time project with the addition of his partner and Psychic TV bandmate Peter Christopherson, formerly of pioneering industrial music group Throbbing Gristle. Coil's work explored themes related to the occult, sexuality, alchemy, and drugs while influencing genres such as gothic rock, neofolk and dark ambient. AllMusic called the group "one of the most beloved, mythologized groups to emerge from the British post-industrial music, post-industrial scene." After the release of their 1984 debut EP ''How to Destroy Angels (Coil EP), How to Destroy Angels'', Coil joined Some Bizzare Records, through which they released two full-length albums, ''Scatology (album), Scatology'' (1984) and ''Horse Rotorvator'' (1986). In 1985, the group began working on a series of soundtracks, among th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Perfect World (Uniform Album)
''Perfect World'' is the debut studio album by the American industrial rock band Uniform. It was released on July 8, 2015 by 12XU and Alter Records. Produced by the band's guitarist and programmer Ben Greenberg, it features contributions from former Coil member Drew McDowall. Background and music The style on ''Perfect World'' draws heavily from industrial and hardcore, while featuring elements such as doom-metal guitar licks. Structurally, the tracks are reliant on the drum machine; a large portion of the record eschews traditional rock structures. PopMatters's Ian King has stated that the record "takes Throbbing Gristle’s abrasiveness, throws it in a pressure cooker with the cold, old-tech repetition of the Normal, and then slices through it all with lashing guitar distortion," while Raymond Cummings of ''Spin'' described it as "an inchoate stutter-shove equal parts post-punk and first-album Suicide with a pinch of debilitating noise tossed in for good measure."
