News & Events

Thresholdhouse.com has recently been updated to include information on the imminent release of Coil's final studio album, entitled The Ape of Naples.  At some point in the next week, the album will be available to order from the website, and it should be in your favorite independent record store (if you still have one) by Christmas.  This announcement comes one year almost to the day, after Jhonn Balance's untimely death on November 13, 2004.

According to the site, there will also be a special wood-boxed LP art edition which is limited to 23 copies.  In addition to a sneak preview of the lovely cover artwork by artist Ian Johnstone, the site contains a brief update by Sleazy, who talks about the future, which includes more eBay auctions from the Coil archives (search ZOS23) and a tentative Spring 2006 release date for the long-awaited live DVD box.  What better way to commemorate the passing of one of underground music's most ferocious talents than the release of his final and most anxiously awaited work?  Christmas now is drawing near...
