Goth-rock legends Alien Sex Fiend return next month with Possessed, their first new studio album in eight years and one that will have diehards snatching up both the CD and double-LP editions, as each carries specific mixes exclusive to that format. Full details and tracklist right here.
Cherry Red Records this August will release a new 3-disc Alien Sex Fiend anthology that traces the goth pioneers’ 35-year history, and which will include five previously unreleased tracks, including two new songs and unissued mixes of “Now I’m Feeling Zombiefied” and “I Walk the Line.” See the full tracklist here.
This week’s new releases include ‘Mondo Cane,’ the new solo album from Faith No More’s Mike Patton; ‘Death Trip,’ the 13th studio album from goth mainstays Alien Sex Fiend; and ‘Metatronic,’ the 2CD/1DVD career retrospective from synthpop pioneer John Foxx.
