Constant Shallowness Leads to Evil is the most extreme outing by Coil I have had the pleasure of listening to. This is really extreme stuff and is the closest to say, Merzbow, that they ever got.
I rate this and Merzbow's "Oersted" as the most challenging discs I own, which does not make them bad at all. With releases as these the way you listen to music is not a required one. You need to change the setting, change the scenario. This is not easy listening nor is it enjoyable setting; you need to concentrate hard in order to penetrate this stuff. You simply need to focus. Your reward is on its way.

| Press release | This new album by Coil deals with the threat of lavishness and responds with noise. It's trial by musick. This intense density of energetic anger explores areas that Coil have threatened to open out into in the past, but rarely have pursued with such hallucinatory ferocity. 6 new pieces still fresh with blood and electronics. It is released to coincide with Coil's 2nd Royal Festival Hall concert this year; an event which Coil are calling Persistence Is All. Points of reference? Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music, Can, LaMonte Young, Flipper, Butthole Surfers, Supermarket Sweep. Composed & arranged by John Balance, Peter Christopherson & Thighpaulsandra. |
