Coil - Gold Is The Metal (With The Broadest Shoulders) [CD]

Experience the remastered and reissued 1987 masterpiece, Gold Is The Metal (With The Broadest Shoulders), by the influential industrial and experimental group Coil. This vital album, the third in a trilogy, emerged from the same creative period as Scatology and Horse Rotorvator, honing an 'electro-erotics of sound' that blends intricate instrumental textures with striking field recordings. Discover unique sonic landscapes, including a captured drunken brass band from Mexico and a Thai boxing arena, alongside the serendipitous sonic distortions of a malfunctioning Fairlight sampler on the track ‘Metal In The Head’.

Key Features:

• Remastered edition of Coil's seminal 1987 album.
• Features restored artwork, previously unseen imagery, and new sleeve notes.
• Part of a new reissue series through The Grey Area of Mute.
• Explores themes of queerness, sex, drugs, magick, and freedom.

Founded in 1982 by Peter Christopherson and John Balance, Coil evolved into a trio with Stephen Thrower in 1984. Their enduring work continues to be a profoundly influential and enigmatic force in music. This reissue, remastered under the guidance of Stephen Thrower, offers a fresh perspective on their fearless exploration of sound and subject matter.
