After the untimely death of founding member Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson late last year, the future of pioneering industrial outfit Throbbing Gristle was thrown into question. Thanks to a new post on the band’s website, that question has been partially answered. Most importantly, the remaining members have elected to no longer perform live as Throbbing Gristle, following the sentiments of a statement made by Christopherson prior to his passing, who remarked that it would not be “possible for any changed band or variation of personnel to perform live as Throbbing Gristle without all the original four of us on stage.” While TG diehards might be disappointed by that news, the group has not gone completely dormant. As detailed on their website, the band’s contract with Mute Records expired last year, and the group has now chosen to reactivate its dormant Industrial Records imprint, which will be the sole representative for selling Throbbing Gristle’s music. Furthermore, on September 26 the label will be releasing a series of remastered, deluxe vinyl reissues of TG albums The Second Annual Report, D.O.A. The Third & Final Report, Heathen Earth, 20 Jazz Funk Greats, and Throbbing Gristle’s Greatest Hits. The remastered albums will also be available digitally and on CD.
