"Hunting Lodge can be seen as one of the few real 'Industrial' pioneers in the early 80`s (beside SPK, Lustmord, Throbbing Gristle). 1982-1989 represents the 'song oriented' side of a band that evolved relentlessly throughout its 8 years of existence and comes with a remastered/restored version of the legendary underground club hit: 'Tribal Warning Shot'. All tracks were remastered. Lon C. Diehl & Richard Skott met in Port Huron, Michigan, in 1981, and quickly bonded over their fascination with the music of T.G., SPK, M.B., and Dome. Hunting Lodge was born. Joined by Karl Nordstrom, the trio mixed synthesizers, bass, metal & electronic percussion, time-shifting effects, and vocals into a dark sonic stew. Nordstrom moved to San Francisco after the recording of the first Hunting Lodge release, the cassette-only At The Harrington Ballroom (1982). Diehl now employed a Roland Synth, Sequencer & 808 drum machine. Skott added his guitar to the musical arsenal, which he used to trigger a Korg MS-20 synth and a vocoder. Diehl and Skott continued recording at a feverish pace, and their first LP, WILL (track 14) was released in 1983. 'Tribal Drums' and primitive digital sampling units soon entered the picture. On the Nomad Souls LP (4, 7) and Tribal Warning Shot 12" (1, 13), rhythm and percussion were driving many of the recordings. Richard Skott moved to Oakland, CA at the end of their first U.S. tour, November 1984. The third wave of Hunting Lodge (1985) brought a new engineer to the band: Helmut Robison recorded the album 8-Ball (3, 6, 9, 12) & Carnivora! EP (5, 10) and played drum kit and bass on many of the recordings (as well as 'live'). Upon his return, Skott's guitar had shed its heavily-affected electronic exoskeleton and Hunting Lodge began to mimic a traditional 'rock' band, while retaining their 'Industrial' roots. In 1989 Diehl & Skott recorded their final demos (8, 11)."

2010 release. Limited edition of 600. Shadows Out of Time is a collection of three LPs with previously unreleased and formerly cassette-only material from Hunting Lodge, representing the first era of their creativity, a time when each sonic experiment festered into a beautiful sore. Dark ambient, noise, power electronics -- all represented here before these pigeons had holes in which to fit. One LP comprises the now-legendary Exhumed (1983), which was formerly released on cassette only, heard here in better shape than ever -- direct-metal mastered from the original two-track mixes. The second LP is all previously unreleased material, highlights of which include never-before-heard gems from the recordings for the promotional cassette 23 Minutes of Murder (1982), as well as electro-disco-techno recordings used for intermission music at Hunting Lodge's live shows in 1983. The final LP contains live material that was formerly cassette-only, including tracks from the 1983 Harrington Ballroom and S/M Operations cassettes, as well as much of the formerly unreleased Live at the Lodge. Oft-bootlegged, this performance is pressed here direct from the original masters, representing the two-piece early noise-unit of Hunting Lodge in harrowing live intensity. An additional 7" includes a studio cover version of John Wright's "Stellazine Shuffle" backed with "Learn to Will II," originally released on Nekrophile Rekords' 1983 The Beast 666 cassette compilation. These LPs and 7" are presented with period-accurate, gloriously bold, black-and-white artwork. Each LP comes in its own printed sleeve inside of a box printed with the Thomas Nordstrom artwork previously only seen on early Hunting Lodge stationery. Also included are liner notes by Jeff "Central" Chenault and recording details, including information on equipment used, and never-before-seen photos of live Hunting Lodge and of collectors' minutiae. The scars will never completely heal.
