Coil was an English cross-genre, experimental music group formed in 1982 by John Balance—later credited as "Jhonn Balance"—and his life partner and collaborator Peter Christopherson, aka "Sleazy". The duo worked together on a series of releases before Balance chose the name Coil, which he claimed to be inspired by the omnipresence of the coil's shape in nature. Today, Coil remains one of the most influential and best-known industrial music groups. The group's first official release as Coil was a 1984 12" album titled ''How to Destroy Angels'' released on the Belgian Les Disques du Crépuscule's sublabel LAYLAH Antirecords. Following the 12"s success, Some Bizarre Records produced two albums, ''Scatology'', ''Horse Rotorvator'' and Coil departed SomeBizzare Label and Produced ''Love's Secret Domain'', which met with little commercial success, but were praised as innovative due to their blend of industrial music and acid house. In 1985, the group began working on a series of soundtracks, amongst them music for the first ''Hellraiser'' movie based on the novel ''The Hellbound Heart'' by their acquaintance at that time, Clive Barker. The group's first live performance in 16 years occurred in 1999, and began a series of mini-tours that would last until 2004. Following the death of John Balance on 13 November 2004, Christopherson announced via their official record label website Threshold House that Coil as an entity had ceased to exist. ==Beginning (1982–1984)== Coil was formed in 1982 and became a full-time concern in 1984, following Christopherson's departure from Psychic TV.〔 Balance and Christopherson began working with John Gosling on the project Zos Kia, which resulted in four live performances and the 1984 cassette tape ''Transparent''. Following Gosling's departure, Balance and Christopherson teamed up with Boyd Rice, and under the alias ''Sickness of Snakes'', released the split four-track album, ''Nightmare Culture'', with the experimental group Current 93 in 1985. While working on their first official release, 1984's 12-inch album ''How to Destroy Angels'', the group settled on the name "Coil". According to the sleeve notes, the single-track LP is "ritual music for the accumulation of male sexual energy", and was produced under a variety of technological, spiritual, and meteorological conditions that was magickally significant for the band members. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coil (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
