Coil’s ‘Gold is the Metal’ reissue arrives with ‘Cardinal Points’ video

Coil’s remastered reissue of “Gold is the Metal (With the Broadest Shoulders)” is now available through Mute and Threshold House, with vinyl and CD editions arriving November 20. The release includes a new “Cardinal Points” video compiled from 1988 footage directed by Alexander Oey. This album concludes a trilogy following “Scatology” and “Horse Rotorvator,” featuring collage structures with field recordings from Mexico, British television, and Thai boxing arenas. Threshold House, Coil’s original label launched in 1987, has been reactivated for this partnership. The reissue series continues with soundtracks and compilations. Coil, formed in London in 1982 by John Balance and Peter Christopherson, included Stephen Thrower as a full-time member from 1987 to 1992. Balance died in 2004; Christopherson in 2010.
