Chris’s latest project is WHITE PHOSPHORUS: CHRIS CONNELLY PLAYS THROBBING GRISTLE. Check out the video for the single for the song “Mother Spunk”.

Chris says:

Having carved a twisted career with behemoths MINISTRY and REVOLTING COCKS over the past 40 years, starting life with the formidable FINI TRIBE and collaborating with disparate characters such as KILLING JOKE, CABARET VOLTAIRE, JIM O’ROURKE, and too many others, I have returned to my first love, THROBBING GRISTLE, armed with a cassette recorder, a reel to reel, a razor blade and some tape. I want to invoke the spirit of mid to late 70s live TG: random, tense, scary, and compulsively fascinating. WHITE PHOSPHORUS is for the TG connoisseur, for the morbidly curious, and the tragically dysfunctional amongst us.

I present a video for the track “MOTHER SPUNK” a piece by THROBBING GRISTLE that is so uncompromising that I felt it HAD to be the first single from the album, in true TG style, defying all expectations. “MOTHER SPUNK” was lovingly re-created by me using only the bleakest of antiquated analog equipment under the most excruciating circumstances…

Chris created the cover himself, very much in the spirit of the earliest Throbbing Gristle releases, coming from a 70s Xerox angle. It goes ahead with the blessing of the surviving members of Throbbing Gristle, Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti. The album is pressed on 180g black vinyl and will be available on 30 May 2025 from Dirtier Promotions.
