This essential reference guide offers a deep dive into the subversive world of industrial culture, exploring its groundbreaking musicians, performance artists, and the ideas that shaped this radical movement. Originally published in 1983 and re-released in a superior hardback edition in 2006, Industrial Culture Handbook remains a cornerstone for fans and scholars alike.

 

Edited by V. Vale and Andrea Juno, the book features interviews, essays, and archival materials spotlighting pivotal figures such as Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, Survival Research Laboratories, SPK, NON, Monte Cazazza, Johanna Went, and more. With its striking purple endpapers and glossy pages, the limited hardback edition (only 1,000 copies made) offers sharper images and a collectible aesthetic.

 

The Handbook provides unique insights into industrial culture’s obsessions—brain research, creative crime, psychotic pop lyrics, neglected gore films, and avant-garde artistry—through chronologies, discographies, bibliographies, and more. Praised by luminaries like J.G. Ballard and Jack Sargeant, this book is an indispensable resource for understanding the darkly creative energy of the industrial music and performance art scene.

 

"A game changer… One of the most inspirational books I read." —Jack Sargeant

"Packed with fascinating material and beautifully produced." —J.G. Ballard
