Leichenschrei was first released in 1982, and is considered by many to be one of the most important releases in Industrial music. SPK leader and co-founder Graeme Revell has written extensive new liner notes for this re-release, reflecting on his personal history, and the way things have changed since the album was first released:
It all starts off with ominous electronics, muffled voices talking about guillotines and icy bodies and death.
Dark.
Very dark.
And then we kick into this drums and electronic industrial percussion thing but the voices just keep on with the same oppressive stance…
Bits of autopsy tapes, some insane schizoid monologue from a woman babbling about rape, syphilis, mind control.
And we’re not even much more than five minutes in…
“Leichenschrei” (the title means “corpse screams” on German) is one of the absolutely darkest musical visions of the early Industrial works.
Terribly dynamic and organic.
A must have for all lovers of Industrial muzak and its roots.
