Violent Silence/Flesh Volcano

Marc Almond , Foetus

1997
Some Bizzare

A combination of two separate EPs released by Marc Almond in the mid-80s, Violent Silence/Flesh Volcano is a vivid and more than a little disturbing portrait of Almond’s more underground aesthetic, the counterbalance to his brighter pop turns of that decade. Flesh Volcano itself is a full collaboration with his Immaculate Consumptive musical partner Foetus, a blasting, chaotic performance by both, while Violent Silence was a quiet tribute to the work of Georges Bataille, Almond’s lyrics offsetting the calm stillness of the overall performances.
