Slow Death Live<\/a><\/p>\nA record that was originally released on Genesis P-Orridge’s record label, Industrial Records\u00a0late on in 1979, in a limited quantity.<\/p>\n
Leather Nun originally from Gothenburgh in Sweden, first contacted Throbbing Gristle\u00a0to complete\u00a0an interview for a fanzine that the vocalist Jonas was involved in. Genesis P-Orridge was duly interviewed by Jonas in Hackney, London, and he then passed a tape of his band to Genesis P. This tape Genesis P liked very much, and the tracks on that tape are now uploaded here.<\/p>\n
Absolutely abrasive and blistering punk rock on ‘No Rule’ and ‘Ensam I Natt’, the kind of music that you find yourself thinking of smashing up your room to! Or maybe that’s just me…<\/p>\n
The two (three) other tracks ‘Slow Death’ and ‘Death Threats’ are much more hypnotic, with a plodding bass-line and minimal instrumentation. White noise (a hoover, a drill?) is used on ‘Death Threats’, which I think was recorded by Jonas alone, without the band Leather Nun.<\/p>\n
The cover shows a guy dying slowly after a terrorist attack in Italy which were quite regular in the 1970’s, this guy is the subject of the main track.<\/p>\n

This re-release on Criminal Damage Records includes a fine 15 minute version of ‘Slow Death’ recorded in Febuary 1980 at the Scala,\u00a0next to\u00a0Goodge Street station, in the west end of London, which I feel is superior to the studio version, whispered vocals, with violin and synth performed by Genesis P and Monte Cazazza adding to the hypnotic vibe.<\/p>\n
The follow up single by Leather Nun ‘Primemover’ is also magnificent…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
