POLTERGEIST - LA GRANDE DAME

Medical Records presents two of the most striking and iconic reissues in its catalog. The first of the two Severed Heads reissues is 1983’s “Since The Accident”. Severed Heads are one of the most diverse and expert sound palette engineers and are also repeatedly overlooked and far underrated. Hailing from Sydney, Australia, they formed in 1979. The band was composed of many different members though it’s existence but Tom Ellard has always been the constant since 1979 when he joined the band. The group’s early recordings were characterized by manipulated tape loop experiments, cleverly modulated noise elements and repetition.  This period is very well suited to the early industrial period. Over time, the sounds morphed into more melodic leanings with pop elements and more prominent synth leads and backbone.  “Since The Accident” was released in 1983 on UK “Ink” records.  The LP exemplifies the transition point between experimental structure and loops into the catchy pop hooks that would later define such releases as “Rotund For Success”. Difficult to classify, it is a masterpiece of electronic music.  The opening track “Relic Of The Empire” is a slow sequenced magnificent piece with time-stretched samples overlaid with multiple tracks to create a symphony quite unlike anything heard before.  The hit “Dead Eyes Opened” (charted in 1985 as a single) is a dance floor friendly track with crafted synth hooks fused with bursts of noise intertwining with interesting vocal samples.  “Gashing The Old Mae West” is a perfect example of how the record can take a dark turn into the style of the earlier Sev Heads with jagged industrial crunched out tape loops and folding in and out samples.  Though signed to 80’s industrial label icon Nettwerk in North America and often classified in the same vein, these records are not easily definable and actually have a life of their own. Though commonly misclassified with a lot of the late 80s industrial/goth scene (as well as touring with Skinny Puppy at one point), Severed Heads would be more accurately in good company with acts such as Cabaret Voltaire, early Coil, Chris & Cosey (and CTI), and the like.  Long out of print and a rarity on the collector’s market, it is presented with original repro jacket.   Remastered by Tom Ellard form the original source masters. Presented on high-quality 180gram heavyweight black and white vinyl.  Features bonus LP insert compiled by Tom Ellard with ephemera from the time.  Limited Edition.

Suzi Sabotage - Nazi Goths, Fuck Off full dance remix EP coming October 2024 on Strict Tempo

from Strict Tempo's Vox Sinistra:
Standing up for what we believe in, and ensuring we all do what we can to make the world a better place, is more important now than ever. As a longtime anti-fascist, I knew Suzi Sabotage's "Nazi Goths, Fuck Off' was the anthem we needed during this perilous time for politics in the US and worldwide. Music has always been a powerful tool for protest, and as we fight to resist the fall of democracy and defend our civil rights, Suzi Sabotage's underground goth classic deserves widespread play. This remix is available now as a preview of the full dance remix EP due out next month.

from Suzi Sabotage:
Far-right ideologies are not compatible with goth. Goth is rebellion against the mainstream and celebration of diversity - whereas nazis and conservatives advocate for rigid conformity, which makes them at war against what goth is all about.

The goth movement has always taken pride in being a safe haven for people from all backgrounds, and if nazis are made feel welcome, it will become dangerous for people of color, LGBTQ, women, and just anyone who doesn't harbor fascist views.

So let's show nazi "goths" the door and keep our scene safe.

LYRICS:

You look so laughable
Dressed in your victimhood
Crocodile tears
Salt your self-inflicted wound

You wear your fascist views
Like a Ku Klux hood
Then you act like
You've been misunderstood

This is not your playground
We don't want you around
Your bigotry's not welcome here
So drop dead and disappear

Nazi goths, fuck off
Nazi goths, fuck off
Nazi goths, fuck off
Nazi goths, fuck off

Take out the fascist trash
Their symbols will burn to ash
Enough is enough
Nazi goths, fuck off
