DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
We now have the limited edition "diehard" version of the Sister Devil reissue from Nuclear War Now. This amazing slab of blackened, satanic death rock from members of Von is presented here as a double 12" edition packaged in a gorgeous textured tip-on gatefold jacket with silver foil stamp and spot gloss printing and includes a large Sixx poster, an insert sheet, a copy of the Ugly Self poetry zine that Sixx's Goat published in 1993, a vinyl sticker, and a large embroidered Sixx patch.
Nuclear War Now! Have allready won my affection tenfold over when earlier this year they reissued the long out-of-print Von set that I had been waiting forever to get my hands on, but this new reissue of the even kultier Sixx has me in such a deep state of label-crush that I'm reeling. Twenty years on, the influence that Cali mutants Von have had on the evolution of black metal has been thoroughly documented; their seminal Satanic Blood and Blood Angel demos made a profound impact on the burgeoning black metal underground, and together remain some of the weirdest, most unearthly underground metal ever. Far less known, though, is that the members of Von reformed as another band called Sixx right after Von was formally dissolved, a totally different sonic beast with the exact same lineup of Von, but with a radically different approach. Instead of the ultra-raw, droning Satanic black metal of Von, Sixx played a brand of creepy, intensely brooding deathrock that was more like Christian Death, Bauhaus, Samhain, Joy Division, early Sisters Of Mercy and Kommunity FK, total batcave stuff, but with a distinctly deranged and evil vibe that could only have come from the warped minds behind Von.
This shit is an epiphany if you've been getting into all of the recent black metal/deathrock crossover that's been emerging recently. Fans of current bands like Hateful Abandon, Soror Dolorosa, Joyless, Thränenkind and Caina in particular need to hear the music of Sixx, as these guys foreshadowed the blending of BM and grim post-punk that would become so popular almost twenty years later; like Soror Dolorosa, there's hardly any trace of the metallic aspects of black metal to be found here, but the bleak, depressive atmosphere and feeling of total blackness of BM itself is still present, and some of the DNA of Von still manages to creep through, like the gutteral grunts that echo through "On The Dead", or the same sort of stripped-down, trancey, ritualistic song structures, and in the murky cave ambience that lurks throughout Sister Devil. But aside from that, Sixx are all throbbing bass and motorik drumming, moody minor-key guitar minimalism and deep gothy vocals, strangely catchy in spite of their utter creepiness, like a satanic Joy Division maybe, and fans of that classic deathrock/goth sound from the 80's who have never heard Sixx before may just discover a new favorite band after hearing this. Sixx were only active for a brief moment in time, playing just a couple of shows in the Bay Area and releasing a single demo in 1991 before disbanding and fading into even deeper obscurity, but Nuclear War Now! has reissued that recording on both LP and CD, remastered and with all new artwork. Highly recommended.   © CRUCIAL BLAST
