About
Metamorphosis was an experimental music project active during the early 1980s, emerging from the UK underground music scene. The project's output reflects the era's interest in tape-based experimentation, noise, and avant-garde composition. Their discography, though limited, includes a self-released live cassette from a 1982 performance at the Ad-Lib Club in Nottingham, the cassette release "Conception 1982," and their most substantial work, the 1983 LP "Great Babel Gives Birth," released on the Flowmotion label. The project's appearance in the publication "Interchange2" indicates some level of recognition within experimental music circles of the period. Metamorphosis exemplifies the DIY ethos characteristic of early 1980s underground music, utilizing accessible cassette and vinyl formats to distribute challenging, exploratory material. While detailed information about the project's specific sonic palette and long-term influence remains limited, their catalog suggests engagement with experimental and possibly industrial-adjacent aesthetics prevalent in the post-industrial underground during this formative period.
