Blackhouse selectively compiled on ‘One Man’s Collection 1984-89’ with exclusive bonus track
Out now is the Blackhouse compilation “One Man’s Collection 1984-89” holding 12 selected tracks from the band’s ‘golden’ early years, plus 1 unreleased track (“Dog”). All the material was remastered in 2019 and the 8-page booklet features unreleased photos and the history of this legendary project, plus very personal notes on the detailed history of the individual tracks / albums from the years 1984-1994. The whole is commented by Brian Ladd himself.
Here’s what Brian has to say about this release: “(It) is a compilation from the “early” days of my Blackhouse art project. The music on this record represents the first 5 years of it. So all in all the first 5 years of Blackhouse saw a lot of changes. The music progressed. It always progresses. Here it is in 2019, and I’m still going strong. Blackhouse is not just an Art Project, Blackhouse is a life project. It’s what I do.”
Industrial music for the Christian market
Blackhouse formed in Eureka, California in 1984 and is cited as the first band to make industrial music for the Christian market. However, live performances met with resistance from both the Christian right and Neo-Nazi youth organizations. After a time the band went underground, focusing on producing recorded material rather than touring.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
