Shoot And Crucify
The third tape on the fledgling Cold Spring label, 'Shoot And Crucify' was released back in 1988 in an edition of just 50 copies (CS003). It features some of the very earliest works of many now-influential and essential Industrial / Noise / Experimental artists.

Just a handful of these 19 tracks have since been reissued, but the vas…

In 1985, the band became a trio, and their compositional skills and overall quality improved, resulting in the creation of Methylmercure. During this period, the noise scenes in developed countr…
