Black Rose Recordings are proud to present their first ever compilation release! A compilation of covers, reinterpretations and/or transformations of Contrastate tracks in celebration of their 30th anniversary. The invitation to participate was limited to a select few artists who have over the years, in some shape or form, worked with Contrastate.

Band Of Pain have been active since 1994 releasing a number of extremely well received albums following a unique furrow, following no trends, content to release music of a consistent high quality allowing us (the listener) to enjoy and make up our own minds.
Contrastate formed in 1987 and their sound insinuates itself somewhere inside the dark ritual ambience of the electronic avant-garde shot through with a vein of experimental noise and sarcophetic vocals strewn amongst industrial surrealism.
État d’urgence are a Swiss group who have been in an on/off existence since 1988. They stage live performances only. This is their first official recording!
Genocide Organ have been active since the late 1980s and have achieved cult status and notoriety in equal measure within the post-industrial scene. Their intentions remain shrouded in mystery, but in their own words "We never say what we think, and we never believe what we say, and if we tell the truth by accident, we hide it under so many lies that it is difficult to find out".
rlw (Ralf Wehowsky) is one of the most respected electronic composers of our day and was also a founder member of the seminal German group P16.D4 and the label Selektion whose ground breaking releases influenced many working in today’s experimental music scene.
Troum were formed in the late 1990’s and are one of the best known and influential groups specialising in drone music. Troum create music that works like a direct transformation of the unconscious mind to bring the listener into a trance state of mind similar to dreaming.
