Pitchshifter

***Cold Spring present the first ever release of Pitchshifter 's legendary BBC sessions for the late, great John Peel . These ultra heavy industrial metal tracks were recorded over two sessions at the iconic Maida Vale studios: 28th April 1991 and 30th March 1993 and were sourced directly from the BBC Archives (with thanks), with careful remastering for CD and vinyl. The 1991 session was recorded during the same period as Industrial , with the 1993 session recorded around the time of Desensitized . Founded in Nottingham in 1989, Pitchshifter's early style was heavy industrial metal, being cited as one of the originators of the genre along with Godflesh—a style which they termed "Death Industrial". These sessions and albums mark the end of that classic period, before a shift towards the more commercial, beat-driven Industrial style from the mid-'90s onward that they are still known for.
