A 1994 album from Leæther Strip, released by Zoth Ommog Records (cd zot 114). In a dramatic break with his usual aggressive industrial style, this album presents a gloomy electronic "symphony," inspired by the works of Stephen King, James Herbert, Dean R. Koontz and Clive Barker.

Leæther Strip band

Leæther Strip is a Danish musical project founded on January 13, 1988 by Claus Larsen. Its influence has been most felt in the electronic body music and electro-industrial genres. Leæther Strip was one of the earliest and most prominent acts on Germany's now defunct Zoth Ommog record label. For distribution outside of Europe, the music has been licensed to the U.S. labels Cleopatra Records and Metropolis Records. After the demise of Zoth Ommog in 1999, Larsen signed to Bloodline Records, which only released a single before also going out of business. In 2005 Leæther Strip signed with the Belgian-based label Alfa Matrix. On June 3, 2011, Larsen announced his split from Alfa Matrix in order to self-release future material.
