Their recordings are even darker and more industrial-rooted than much of the Coil material that followed. The music is primal, brutal and reveals the interests that surrounded \u003cstrong\u003eCoil\u003c\/strong\u003e\/\u003cstrong\u003eZos Kia\u003c\/strong\u003e and the early years of \u003cstrong\u003eThee Temple ov Psychic Youth\u003c\/strong\u003e (TOPY) \/ \u003cstrong\u003ePsychic TV\u003c\/strong\u003e...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Gosling\u003c\/strong\u003e was an original member of \u003cstrong\u003eZos Kia\u003c\/strong\u003e (as \u003cstrong\u003eJoan D'Arc\u003c\/strong\u003e), alongside \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Balance\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cstrong\u003eCoil\u003c\/strong\u003e) and \u003cstrong\u003eMin\u003c\/strong\u003e. This trio, together with \u003cstrong\u003ePeter Christopherson\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cstrong\u003eTG\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eCoil\u003c\/strong\u003e) and other guests, recorded and performed in the early 1980s under the names Zos Kia \/ Coil, including the \"\u003cem\u003ePerformance Action\u003c\/em\u003e\" (involving blood and flesh cutting) at the Air Gallery in London in August 1983 and a performance at the Berlin Atonal festival in December 1983. The latter comprised one side of the Transparent cassette issued by the now defunct Austrian label \u003cstrong\u003eNekrophile\u003c\/strong\u003e in 1984, which became the first released recordings of both Coil and Zos Kia. It was reissued years later by Coil (\u003cstrong\u003eThreshold\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHouse\u003c\/strong\u003e\/\u003cstrong\u003eEskaton\u003c\/strong\u003e) and included the Coil manifesto '\u003cem\u003eThe Price of Existence Is Eternal Warfare\u003c\/em\u003e', originally written by John Balance in 1983, in which numerous references that inspired their future work can already be found. The name' Zos Kia' had been taken from the magickal system of occult artist \u003cstrong\u003eAustin Osman Spare\u003c\/strong\u003e although John Gosling never really seemed too occult-fixated, AOS was a great source of inspiration for Coil's members.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1984, Balance and Christopherson left to concentrate on Coil full-time. All material released under the Zos Kia name alone was primarily the work of John Gosling. After retiring the Zos Kia name, Gosling went on to record with Sugardog, Psychic TV and work solo as Sugar J and Mekon. Debuting in 1994 with \"\u003cem\u003ePhatty's Lunchbox\u003c\/em\u003e\", Gosling pioneered the blueprint for the dance music popularized years later by the Prodigy and Chemical Brothers: breakbeat trip-hop invested with a lot of energy and old-school attitude.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"All Horned Animals (Code 7)","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":57560364613977,"sku":"SDZ-43949","price":26.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Zos_Kia_and_COIL_-_Silence_And_Secrecy_-_2026.webp?v=1773417357","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/zos-kia-coil-silence-and-secrecy","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
