IRM — Virgin Mind

Recorded as far back as 2001-2002, and first released on Cold Meat Industry in 2005, IRM�s highly acclaimed third album �Virgin Mind� is finally re-released. The album marked a radical change in the band�s direction, leaving the power electronics opera of �Oedipus Dethroned� for an even more ritualistic, experimental and epic sound. �Virgin Mind� was recorded in an analog 24 channel recording studio and included a variety of vintage synthesizers and acoustic instruments such as trombones, organs, pianos, violins, and percussions. This was the soundtrack for IRM�s now infamous, bloody performance actions (heavily inspired by the spectacles of Hermann Nitsch and the Vienna Actionists), which often led to open fistfights between the band and the venue managers. �Virgin Mind� is a bleak and disturbing work which resonates even stronger in today�s watered down industrial music scene. The double CD set includes brand new artwork from founding member Martin Bladh. A 4-panel full-colour glossy Digipak. Limited to 300. A special edition comes with an A3 double-sided poster with lyrics. Limited to 50.
