In the 1980s, this controversial collective shook up the Belgian art world with noise concerts, performances, unusual exhibitions and the "cultural battlezine" Force Mental - proposing a quite different view on art as known by the cultural establishment. Club Moral was founded by visual artist Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven (AMVK) and performance artist Danny Devos (DDV) in Antwerp on January 1st, 1981. For over a decade it functioned simultaneously as venue, noise band, publishing house, and lightning rod for extreme art. The breakdown of soft 1970s ideals transformed into taboo-breaking aesthetics - in imagery and sound, in words and deeds. Acts that performed at Club Moral included Boyd Rice (NON), Whitehouse, John Duncan, Clair Obscur, and Coup De Grace. DDV combined bodily performances with industrial noise while delving into profound psychological studies on the motives and drives of murderers - later corresponding with convicted serial killers. This incredible box compiles early tracks from DDV's 4 Sept and A Sound Atlas of Venerology, Club Moral's essential Mit neuen Waffen, Etat Brut's complete Geometrie d'un Assassinat, plus selections from The Parts (DDV, AMVK, and Erik Vloeberghs). Additional compilation tracks, live recordings, and previously unreleased material round out a definitive document of Belgian industrial's most uncompromising practitioners. True pioneers whose influence echoes through decades of extreme sound.
