About
L'Invitation Au Suicide was an independent record label active during the early 1980s, operating within the experimental and industrial music underground. Based on its release catalog, the label demonstrated a commitment to avant-garde and noise-oriented aesthetics, releasing material primarily on vinyl LP format between 1981 and 1985. The label's six documented releases showcase a diverse roster of artists working across experimental, industrial, and electronic idioms, including works such as Metamorphose (1981), Entrave Et Étouffement, From Australia... (1982), and The Gift Of Noise (1983). The label's name itself reflects the provocative, transgressive posture common to many underground labels of the post-industrial era. L'Invitation Au Suicide occupied an important niche within the European experimental music scene of the early 1980s, supporting artists engaged with noise, abstraction, and boundary-pushing sonic practices. Though limited in output, the label's catalog remains significant for documenting the underground experimental music landscape during a formative period in industrial and noise music development.
