Suicide Commando presents the official re-release on vinyl and CD of their last ever tape Electro Convulsion Therapy from 1993 via Minimal-Maximal Records — available October 30th, 2015.
It has been 20 years since the first Suicide Commando album Critical Stage was released on the German Off Beat label. It was the promising start of a long and ultimately successful career and today Suicide Commando can be easily described as on of the leading harsh electro acts in the alternative scene. What some of you might not know is that Johan Van Roy released nine tapes before releasing his debut album in 1994.
Electro Convulsion Therapy was the last and without any doubt the most successful tape released in 1993. It contained the original 4 track recordings of later club hits “Traumatize”, “Necrophilia” and “Time” while also featuring “Close Your Eyes”, “Sheer Horror” and “How It Feels.”
The re-release of Electro Convulsion Therapy holds the complete last tape on LP and also contains a selection of the best songs from the other early tapes released between 1988 and 1992, including several rare songs and even one previously unreleased song as a bonus on the free included cd version, all remastered by Eric Van Wonterghem at Prodam Berlin 2015.
