The legendary THROBBING GRISTLE have completed their first new studio album in 25 years, entitled PART TWO. THE ENDLESS NOT. Almost 30 years on since their inception from the ashes of performance art troupe/media guerrilla cell Coum Transmissions, THROBBING GRISTLE'S challenging, expressive, self-empowering manifestos and music are as relevant today as they were back in the bleak mid-70s. As historically important during their active period of 1975 - 1981 as contemporaries Can, The Sex Pistols, and Kraftwerk, THROBBING GRISTLE'S influence on today's music (from experimental production techniques and confrontational live shows to independent promotion via their own Industrial Records label) runs far deeper than they are often credited.
