Coil collaborators Black Sun deliver their own musical production based on the words of German poet Bertolt Brecht, featuring guest stars H.R. Giger, Lydia Lunch... and one of the last vocal performances of Jhonn Balance.
Massimo & Pierce of Black Sun Productions are notorious for their collaboration with Coil in some of the band's most iconoclastic live installations as well as for their epic performance project Plastic Spider Thing.
operettAmorale is Massimo & Pierce's personal tribute to the poetry of German poet, playwright and thinker Bertolt Brecht (1898 - 1956). The album is composed of 11 classic Brecht's songs, here revisited according to Massimo & Pierce's irreverent attitude. Massimo & Pierce invited some of their friends to contribute to operettAmorale. Coil recorded the song A List of Wishes (one of the latest studio performances of Johnn Balance, whom passed away short after this recording) purposely for this album. The Ballad of Sexual Dependency is here delivered by the incomparable voice of Lydia Lunch and HR Giger contributed with the cover artwork and a vocal cameo appearance on Seeräuber-Jenny.
operettAmorale was produced by Massimo & Pierce in collaboration with Larsen's member Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo, whom also provided some original music and the acoustic arrangements. Among the musicians whom partecipated to operettAmorale's recording sessions are Julia Kent (Antony and the Johnsons) and Marco Schiavo (Larsen).
Released by Divine Frequency Records and distributed by Old Evropa Cafe AVS.
