but, do you REALLY know what industrial music is about? do you REALLY know where it comes from? do you know why the black clothes and wrenches and grimy factories and medical imagery? do you understand where that actually comes from? do you know who (and what) "breyer p-orridge" was? do you understand why coil were singing "bury me in Ostia?" why douglas p. started wearing wehrmacht camo and called his album "brown book?" were you aware that it was started by a bunch of gay and trans people, who started plumbing the absolute depths, embracing literal evil and death because that's all that was left for them? because they were getting beaten in the streets and their friends were dying of aids? have you ever gone deeper than a rivethead playlist on youtube?
can we talk about their outfits real quick??
imagine being an adoring fan of a groundbreaking experimental artist and seeing a picture of him on the record and getting the innate sense that somehow, you two would spend your life together. and you turn out to be right. and you two create Coil together
