Original release 1990
Re-mastered by B. Lustmord May 2004
Heresy defines the Lustmord music style of pure, deep rumbling subterrranean atmosphere. Music recorded in crypts, caverns and mines: what could be darker than this?
From the deepest vault at Soleilmoon, precisely such a cherished but long unavailable classic has been remastered, repackaged and re-issued.
"Heresy", the album that launched and defined the dark ambient genre when it was first released in 1990, has been hailed by critics and fans as one of the most important works of its time. Nearly 15 years after its release it regularly features on top-ten lists of ambient music.
"Heresy" was recorded in various subterranean locations and manipulated in the studio with Andrew Lagowski providing engineering and additional programming.
It was the first Lustmord album to feature extensive sampling and computer assisted sound design. Recent improvements in sound technology permitted Lustmord to re-master and significantly improve on the original recordings for this new version, which comes in a digipak and even bears a new catalog number.Based on recognition established through recordings like "Heresy", Brian Williams, the man behind Lustmord, went on to work as a sound designer in Hollywood and has over 40 major motion picture credits as well as TV, games and now commercials.
His resume includes musical collaborations with The Melvins, Adam Jones (Tool), Chris & Cosey, Coil, Paul Haslinger (Tangerine Dream), SPK, Robert Rich, Current 93 and Nurse with Wound.
He has done remixes for Jarboe (Swans), Venetian Snares, Lori Carson and Mortiis.
From 1985 until 1999 he ran Side Effects Records, the label launched by SPK, releasing more than 30 albums.
As Lustmord he has released 11 albums since 1981.
"Heresy" stands as Lustmord's signature work, the gauntlet that birthed a genre, and this new edition shows even more why it's been a best seller for such a long time.
