INSERT MURDER HERE

OK, maybe our resident serial killer expert Corey Mitchell and I are the only ones who’ll be excited about this, but Bodychoke’s final album will be reissued by Relapse early next year. Bodychoke was the unconventional noise rock project helmed by Kevin Tomkins, who made his bones in pioneering industrial music projects Whitehouse and Sutcliffe Jugend, and longtime collaborator Paul Taylor. Currently out of print, Cold River Songs was the only self-produced effort from this misanthropic clan of bloodthirsty, sadosexual sophisticates, though their charmingly titled prior album Five Prostitutes was helmed by the great Steve Albini. Due out in February, the reissue will include lyrics in the packaging, which anyone familiar with Tomkins’ body of work knows are truly vicious. A real treat for the true crime loving metalhead loner!
