Press Info:
After two LPs on Sonic Groove, Crystal geometry returns in April with a new album redefining his vision, for the first time, on his own new imprint : Bloc Noir.
Leaning more towards guitars and at a slightly faster pace than his previous records the thirteen tracks of “I stare into darkness” range from trap influenced bangers to black metal rave songs and industrial broken beats.
The message is clear, it’s a call to arms to challenge the dystopian world that is becoming our reality.

Because of the currently unbearable delays in the record pressing plants “I stare into darkness” will only be released on USB necklaces and in digital format on Crystal geometry’s bandcamp.
The full metal engraved USBs will contain as an added bonus instrumental versions of some of the songs, a digital booklet with lyrics and the thirteen tracks in both compressed and lossless file formats.

Press Info:
The tracklisting, collated by Marty Rev, Liz Lamere, and Henry Rollins, includes tracks from their classic debut album, Suicide (1977), to their final outing, American Supreme (2002). The LP also features two brand new, unheard tracks Girl (Unreleased Version) and Frankie Teardrop (First Version). Remastered by Denis Blackham at Skye Mastering.

“SUICIDE WAS THE BAND THAT REFUSED TO DIE. THE CONCEPT WAS SO POWERFUL THAT IT KEPT VEGA AND REV ON A SPORADIC COLLISION COURSE OF STAGES AND STUDIOS FOR OVER FORTY YEARS.” – Henry Rollins, Surrender.

Although the band barely received any credit during their career, Suicide are cited as one of the most inspirational bands of the 1970s, influencing the likes Soft Cell, Depeche Mode and The Jesus And Mary Chain, whilst garnering fans in Nick Cave, Jim Thirlwell, M.I.A., Spiritualized, Lydia Lunch, Bobby Gillespie and Savages to name a few.

“SUICIDE MADE SOME OF THE COOLEST, MOST UNCOMPROMISING MUSIC EVER INFLICTED ON OUR SPECIES. THIS GATHERING OF SONGS IS NOT A “BEST OF” NOR IS IT A “DEFINITIVE” ALL-YOU-NEED-TO-KNOW COMPILATION. IT IS AN INTRODUCTION THAT WILL HOPEFULLY COMPEL YOU TO EXPLORE THE ALBUMS.” – Henry Rollins, Surrender.
