5 CD SET with LILLE ROGER early recordings released by Tesco Germany with Cold Meat Industry.
Finally the CD Box version of the “Undead 1984-87” vinyl boxset has been unearthed. With 40:35 min additional material not released on the 6LP Box. After years in the makings this monumental collection of Roger Karmaniks early industrial works is brought to you by reborn Cold Meat Industry. Let’s hark back before Death itself and go back to the basics.
Lille Roger was founded in 1984 and became a unique entry in Sweden at the time. Few had the guts to approach things with such morbid ardor. Over a period of four years Roger claimed his place at the throne as the juvenile delinquent king of Swedish industrial music. Working with very limited equipment he produced material that still today stands out as timeless masterworks. The final recordings were released as the epitaphic “Undead” 7” (CMI-01), marking the beginning of Brighter Death Now as well as Cold Meat Industry. It is obvious that this boxset shares both the name and catalogue number with such a milestone,as well as being the start of the new Cold Meat Industry label.
“Undead 1984-87” is a solid 5 CD boxset consisting of rare material carefully selected. Some previously released only on very rare and limited cassette editions, other unreleased and never heard before. Ranging from low-fi tape experiments and traditional post-mortem / power electronics to minimal industrial angst pop. Dangerous music for dangerous people – the kind that laugh through your funeral service and masturbate afterwards. The time is now. Lille Roger is among the undead and remains a true legend. Something for the old generations to enjoy, while the new observe and learn.
