"The period between 1985 and 1988 was the most productive in the long history of Controlled Bleeding. No fewer than 13 albums and three split works were released in this short timeframe, starting with Death in the Cameroon, and including releases on Sub Rosa, Dossier, and many others. Founder Paul Lemos, along with long-time members Joe Papa and Chris Moriarty produced material relentlessly over this three to four-year span, experimenting with noise, industrial, tribal sounds, goth, ethereal, and ambient music. In hind-sight, this furious output set the stage for Controlled Bleeding's more famous Wax Trax works, but the material itself found its way to every corner of the experimental world, and it influenced everyone. Artoffact Records is proud to announce a 10CD collection of Controlled Bleeding material, released between 1985 and 1988, much of which has been out of print for decades. The set starts with the tape-only Death in the Cameroon, and includes seven more Controlled Bleeding albums, including Headcrack, which has never been released on CD. Also included are two Controlled Bleeding off-shoots: the industrial one-off project The Art Barbeque, from 1985, and the Lemos / Papa collaboration Music For Stolen Icon from 1986. The set includes large-size reproductions of the front and back covers of each release, as well as a longform essay by Paul Lemos. All material has been remastered and restored. CD Contents: 1. Death in the Cameroon 2. The Art Barbeque - Feet Hacked Rails 3. Headcrack 4. Between Tides 5. Curd 6. Core 7. Paul Lemos & Joe Papa - Music for Stolen Icon 8. Music For the Scourging Ground 9. Music For Gilded Chambers 10. Songs From the Drain"

"Released as a vinyl-only album on Sterile Records in 1986, Controlled Bleeding's Headcrack is a monumental album of industrial-noise meets ambient soundscapes. The original record is hopelessly out of print, and Toronto-based Artoffact Records reissues it with remastered audio and updated cover art for the first time. Essential listening!"

Double LP version. "Following 2016's much-lauded Larva Lumps And Baby Bumps, Controlled Bleeding returns with Carving Songs, a massive remix album totaling 20 tracks, including a 21st track, 'TROD', a brand new Controlled Bleeding composition which founder Paul Lemos referred to as 'a really a major piece for us... a VERY dark song.' The hand-picked cast of remixers includes Japanese noise-guru Merzbow, Justin K. Broadrick from industrial-metal act Godflesh (not to mention Jesu), as well as Monolake, Crowhurst, Ramleh, Child Bite, and many others. Even notorious experimental guitarist (and current Lydia Lunch Retrovirus member) Weasel Walter makes an appearance. The remixes range from straight up power noise, to post-black metal, to industrial-influenced beats, and are as varied as Controlled Bleeding itself, a project known for being impossible to classify. An essential release in the long, storied history of one of America's foremost experimenters."

Larva Lumps And Baby Bumps is a startling record: it flawlessly mixes industrial noise and prog rock into a beautifully stream-of-conscious work that is at once fairly brutal and lovingly serene.

"Controlled Bleeding was formed in 1978 in Boston. Over the years members have come and gone and the band has transformed and reinvented itself numerous times. Odes to Bubbler contains the first new recorded work by Controlled Bleeding in the last five years. There are two live tracks and four recorded with Martin Bisi in the summer of 2010. The remainder of the album consists of rare tracks spanning the band's very musically diverse last decade, some featuring Joe Papa's signature vocal work, others including guest players like Ruins drummer Tatsuya Yoshida or Weasel Walter. Then, of course, there are some meditative textural pieces and harsh sonic caterwauls, but it somehow all ties together. Odes to Bubbler is presented in a deluxe screen-printed sleeve made from textured paper with a metallic silver finish. The CD is packed inside a golden inner sleeve. The packaging is stunning inside and out, and will have pride of place in collections. Limited pressing of 500 copies."

1997 release. "Controlled Bleeding's finest work is presented in the form of The Poisoner, a deeply disturbing, richly dynamic aural nightmare that redefines one's vision of hell (just listen to part 2 and you'll understand!). Here, Lemos, with the assistance of San Diego experimental composer Guy Lohnes, has created a work truly actualizing the potential that was always indicated in the group's work."

"A box featuring unreleased music from CB's very early days to today. One side from a long lost Knees and Bones session, one side of pre-industrial music, live at CBGBs supporting Suicide 1979, one side a 25-minute live piece of ancient, very good material from 1977 (sounds like John Cage/Penderecki), one side of free jazz live improvisation with Borbetomagus, one side new total noise, etc. This is one of those very very extreme (if not most extreme) VOD releases and VOD rates it 'PG18.'"
