About

Gerechtigkeits Liga emerged from London's industrial shadows in 1981, leaving a mechanical mark on the scene with their relentless soundscapes. Their arsenal: tape manipulation, live improvisation, and harsh soundscapes echoing Berlin School influences. Their presence was felt across tapes and vinyl, with 18 cassette releases dominating their distribution, a testament to their preference for the raw, unpolished format that matched their sound. In the 1980s, they unleashed a series of live recordings, each capturing the dystopian energy of their performances. Releases like "Live Radio Nova Paris 9.5.84" and "London Live Friday The Thirteenth" cemented their reputation as purveyors of relentless, percussive chaos. These recordings offered a glimpse into their conceptual performances, where sound was both functional and visceral. Their collaborations with labels such as Zyklus Records and Thermidor brought forth seminal works like "Hypnotischer Existenzialismus" (1985), a vinyl testament to their industrial ethos. "Zyklus Beats" (1987) further explored their mechanical inclinations, each beat a metronomic reminder of their relentless drive. By the time "Per Ignem Ad Lucem" emerged in 2008 on VINYL ON DEMAND, Gerechtigkeits Liga had etched their name into the annals of industrial music history.
