CURRENT 93 - Dogs Blood Rising (Remastered) - CD [MAY 22]

CD - gatefold digipak sleeve — inner printed on both sides; 12 page booklet. Remastered by The Bricoleur at Bladud Flies!, and with the original artwork refreshed and reborn by Rob Hopeye (2026 Reissue). 

Dogs Blood Order was recorded at Shinju and IPS Studios, with the exception of Raio No Terrasu which was recorded live at Bar Maldoror on November 25 1983, on the thirteenth anniversary of the death of Yukio Mishima through hara-kiri and beheading.

"Reeling In The Weeks—which felt like Years — after my first Current 93 album, I had started on the difficult second C93 album, DOGS BLOOD RISING. Having been asked to appear on both Top Of The Pops AND The Old Grey Whistle Test 93 times in the same week after the release of NATURE UNVEILED, I realised that God was telling me that I had hit on a winning formula of Christian eschatology and Apocalyptic Christian texts over a SoundScape As Cool As Flies, but that I was missing the vital ingredient of a Simon & Garfunkel song. DOGS BLOOD RISING — which I described to myself in a VISION as an album which hoped, wished, and made bad trips sound like good trips — was essentially the Mirror Night of NATURE UNVEILED, although only half of it was recorded at Roundhouse Studios. Squats were calling, and 8-track studios were all I was able to afford. DOGS BLOOD RISING didn’t chart, except in my NightSweats. Listening to it now, it makes me as restless as I was then, staring beyond the windows there, watching and praying for something, someone, anything, anyone.

This release is part of the series of reissues of the entire back catalogue of C93 on vinyl and CD.

As ye sow, so shall ye reap, and reaping time has come.

"All goes onward and outward,
Nothing collapses,
And to die is different from
What anyone supposes,
And luckier."

Walt Whitman
