Nik of Infinite Fog: “Our last collaboration with In Slaughter Natives took place in 2016 when we released "Mort Aux Vaches" on vinyl. Since then, we've been constantly receiving inquiries about new releases from the project, and now we can finally announce return of their long deleted debut album. All these years it has remained the most requested reissue among our audience - and now it's happening.”
During nearly four decades of existence, six full-length albums and countless unforgettable live performances worldwide, In Slaughter Natives has become a source of inspiration for countless musicians. The project transcends the boundaries of industrial and ambient scenes, resonating with fans of extreme metal - clear proof that true darkness knows no genre limitations.
The self-titled debut album, which redefined genres, was originally released in 1988 on TAPE only, in a minuscule pressing on the then-young Cold Meat Industry label and sold out instantly. Re-released on Staalplaat in 1991 on CD and Cold Meat Industry in 2004, this release was one of the first in CMI's history, establishing its unique sound alongside such projects as Brighter Death Now, Raison d'Être, MZ.412, Ordo Equilibrio, Aghast and Deutsch Nepal.
....Cathedral gothic, Nordic madrigals, Tibetan ritual oratories and the darkest dark-industrial orchestrations - seemingly incompatible elements fused into a unique sound that evokes comparisons with: Richard Wagner and Carl Orff; Early Swans and Laibach; Dead Can Dance and SPK; Skinny Puppy and Delerium; even Deathspell Omega and Elend.
Today, this cornerstone of industrial music receives its first-ever vinyl release, remastered personally by Jouni Havukainen using the original master tapes.
Released August 2025 on Infinite Fog.
