Coil: How To Destroy Angels Vinyl 12" - PRE-ORDER

"First reissue of Coil's' seminal 1984 EP, originally released on L.A.Y.L.A.H. Includes a previously unreleased insert and an etched B-side." - Sub Rosa

"The many varieties of religious music from around the world contain a vast quantity of clues to the way in which sound can affect the physical and mental state of the serious listener, yet many find their associations with religion itself too difficult a stigma to overlook in their appreciation of the sound and its potential, for its own sake. On this record, hopefully the first in a series, we have tried to produce sound which has a real, practical and beneficial power in this modern Era. The execution of the piece was structured around concepts we felt would work for us - in this case magickal and numerological rather than conventionally musical in form. One image or symbol which we drew upon that may be useful to bear in mind is that of Mars, often indicated by the male symbol. Should this music have any power, over and above the banal and transitory titillation achieved by most records available now, it is a positive and beneficial power to be used and controlled by the listener, as he desires. Thank you." - excerpts from the original liner notes
