Few records capture the feeling of the wind coming off the water on the edge of lower Manhattan, the dead zones by China Tower, the piers, the highway and under the bridges. the solitary parts of the city where men can truly feel alone surrounded by the machinery, concrete and elements called Gotham. In a catalog of originality written in blood stands, cutting, biting and tearing into you mind with confrontational voices that truly make you think twice. Power electronics canto from the streets of New York City. Packaged in wide spine jacket with massive poster and oversize booklet. Download code included.

Hospital Productions present a reissue of Slogun's The Pleasures of Death, originally released in 1997. From the austere and frightening cover with the name of forgotten killers to the monolithic washes of analog synthesized grit and dust cloud vocals of the id, this legendary album first released as a limited cassette of 100 on the cult Labyrinth Recordings from NYC (one of the all-time great NYC cassette imprints) and then famously reissued to wide distribution via cold meat industry sublabel Death Factory, The Pleasures of Death came to prominence in the minds of the same era of release entertainment and descent magazine and Alchemy Records and Bloodlust. Never has there been such an in-depth, caustic, intelligent and evil exploration of true crime violence. Slogun has managed to take familiar stories, untangle them and create deep profiles that leave the listener with unsettling conclusions that do not provide the answers we are commonly forced to accept. Set against the decline of America, the abstraction of the victim landscape is shattered with the brutal and disturbing lyrics faithfully reprinted. A classic of NYC radical art and true crime electronics. Wide spine sleeve; includes large-format booklet and poster taken from the original cassette version.
