Seminal early-\u201980s release from Dublin\u2019s most uncompromising post-punk collective, H\u00e9r\u00e9sie captures Virgin Prunes at their most raw, ritualistic, and confrontational. Originally released in 1982, the album compiles crucial early recordings that blur the boundaries between post-punk, industrial music, performance art, and gothic experimentation. Abrasive rhythms, atonal textures, and emotionally charged vocals define a sound that helped shape the darker, more extreme fringes of the post-punk movement. Emerging from the same Dublin scene that produced U2, Virgin Prunes rejected commercial ambition in favour of an avant-garde, art-driven approach\u2014earning them enduring cult status and a reputation as one of the era\u2019s most fearless and challenging groups. H\u00e9r\u00e9sie remains a touchstone release for fans of early industrial, goth, and experimental music, influencing generations of artists operating far outside the mainstream. This newly expanded vinyl edition restores the original album in newly remastered form and includes a rare live recording from the Rex Club in Paris, capturing the band\u2019s intense and confrontational performance style. Housed with an 8-page booklet and featuring brand new sleeve notes by Jon Wood, this edition makes a vital and long hard-to-find title accessible once again in definitive form. Essential listening for fans of Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, The Birthday Party, and adventurous post-punk archives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
