From the cult publishers V. Vale and Andrea Juno, the Industrial Culture Handbook was devoured by devotees of industrial music, performance and art as an essential reference at the time of publication.

Self-described as “a reference guide to the philosophy and interests of a flexible alliance of…deviant international artists…The impetus they have in common is rebellion.”

Featuring in-depth interviews with Throbbing Gristle, Mark Pauline, Cabaret Voltaire, Non, Monte Cazazza, Sordide Sentimental, SPK, Z’ev, Johanna Went, and R&N.

Each subject provides a list of references of books, films, magazines, and records from their own library, providing an immediate worm-hole for those looking to find themselves deeper into the deviant arts.

Slight bumping to corners, very light foxing to endpapers.
