* PREORDER * COIL - Gold Is The Metal (With The Broadest Of Shoulders) LP

* PREORDER * expected to arrive for 9th Oct release

Includes a 20-pg booklet with extensive sleeve notes and imagery, color postcard size art card, and square card insert - featuring Peter ”Sleazy” Christopherson’s original artwork and photography.

Coil’s vital 1987 album, is remastered and reissued.

The album was the third in a trilogy that began with Scatology and Horse Rotorvator, with much of the material emerging from the same period of recordings. It hones “electro-erotics of sound,” blending textural instrumental pieces with notable field recordings – including a drunken brass band captured in Mexico and a Thai boxing arena recorded by Sleazy. A key moment of serendipity is found in ‘Metal In The Head’, which features a malfunctioning Fairlight sampler randomly rearranging and distorting the music.

Something like an underground film soundtrack for your mind.

Remastered under the guidance of original member Stephen Thrower, this new edition features restored artwork, previously unseen imagery and new sleeve notes, and marks the start of a new reissue series through The Grey Area of Mute.
