Follow us on social media
The underground music community is rallying around Charles Levi, the thunderous bass force behind My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, Pigface, and more, with the release of the compilation “Retronomicon.” Levi, a titan in the industrial scene, can be heard on the soundtracks for CoolWorld and The Crow.
Sadly, Levi is facing some tough times: namely, vascular dementia- which has led to leg amputation, as well as daily kidney dialysis and neuropathy that affects the motor function of his fingers. A veritable who’s who of North American electronic and industrial artists, each putting their own twist on the synth-laden tracks that defined an era, have created the album Retronomicon as a sonic salute to Levi. The album is a modern reimagining of the sounds that Levi helped pioneer, all while throwing a lifeline his way.
The album is out now via Para Luna Records: every penny earned from sales and streaming will go straight to helping him navigate his health hurdles. He’s given so much to the community, it’s time lend a hand when it’s needed most.
Listeners can contribute to the cause by purchasing the album on Bandcamp, streaming it on Spotify, or donating directly to Charles Levi’s GoFundMe.
