Urge To Kill

by Lydia Lunch Retrovirus

supported by

Novasquad23 Killer LP that doesn't relent or let up. Reminds me of In Limbo ! 'Nuff said.

Joe Enmore Driving, relentless and defiant. It's like a musical punch in the face, with rings on every finger. The queen of No Wave at her best. Favorite track: Some Boys.

about

This album will be released on CD by Widowspeak Productions (US)/ Brava (South America) and CD/LP/limited box set by Rustblade (Europe) on May 22, 2015

No Wave iconoclast and Big Sexy Noise-queen Lydia Lunch, in conspiracy with Herculean guitarist Weasel Walter (The Flying Luttenbachers), fret-destroying bassist Tim Dahl (Child Abuse) and legendary skins-basher Bob Bert (Sonic Youth/Pussy Galore) are about to unleash URGE TO KILL - the follow up to 2013’s face-melting live recording by this deadly combo called RETROVIRUS (the debut was released on ugEXPLODE in the US and Interbang in Europe).

Recorded live in studio by engineer Colin Marston (Gorguts, Behold The Arctopus, Dysrhythmia) on one afternoon in November 2014, URGE TO KILL stomps new life into classics from Lydia’s immense and darkly evocative catalog, with no material repeated from the live debut. Included are re-invigorated re-imaginings of songs like “Snakepit Breakdown” and “Lock Your Door” from 13.13. (1981), “Fields of Fire” and “Three Kings” from Honeymoon in Red (1987), the Rowland S. Howard slow-scorcher “Still Burning”, “Some Boys” from In Limbo (1984), “Tied and Twist” from Queen of Siam (1980) as well as a gloriously manic reworking of Suicide’s seminal shriek, “Frankie Teardrop”.

To celebrate the release of URGE TO KILL on Widowspeak Productions (US)/Brava (South America)/Rustblade Records (Europe), RETROVIRUS will bring their devastating live show to Europe and Australia as well as select US cities during 2015.

Quodlibet
by David Buddin

Blood spraying everywhere. Perfect mood music for a slow slide into insanity. Drums and piano in a shocking display of aural erotic asphyxiation. Lydia Lunch
