About
Cat Killer was an underground record label active during the early 1990s, primarily focused on experimental and industrial music. The label operated during a pivotal era for cassette-based underground music distribution, releasing exclusively on cassette format—a medium that defined much of the DIY industrial and noise music scene of that period. The label's catalog, though modest in size with five known releases between 1992 and 1994, reflects a commitment to avant-garde and experimental sonic exploration. Notable releases include "And The Trees Will Welcome You Again" (1992), "Project.Inanna.Dead.Inanna" (1993), "Simulation 1" (1993), and "Omnia Quia Sunt" (1994). The label's choice of project titles suggests an engagement with conceptual, often esoteric themes common to underground experimental music communities. While specific details regarding the label's geographic base and founding personnel remain limited in available documentation, Cat Killer's output positions it within the broader underground industrial and experimental music ecosystem of the early 1990s, contributing to the era's decentralized, tape-based distribution networks that sustained alternative music communities.
