Throbbing Socks
Description: Einstürzende Neubauten is a German experimental music group, originally formed in West Berlin in 1980. The group is currently composed of founder members Blixa Bargeld and N.U. Unruh, long-time contributor Alexander Hacke, plus Jochen Arbeit, and Rudolf Moser, who both joined the line-up in 1997.
Description: Formed in London in 1975 from the avant-garde art collective COUM Transmissions, Throbbing Gristle pioneered the industrial music genre with their provocative sound and visual aesthetic. Their 1980 double A-side single, Subhuman / Something Came Over Me, was released simultaneously with Adrenalin / Distant Dreams (Part Two) on Industrial Records. The single’s cover features a stark black-and-white reproduction of The Apotheosis of War by Russian artist Vasily Vereshchagin, reflecting the band’s confrontational style. True to TG’s signature design, the center labels display unique insignia without the typical “Death Factory” logo. The B-side includes the cryptic etching “White Stains,” adding to the release’s cult appeal.
