Key long-term collaborators and Coil's "secret third member" Danny Hyde located the original
Hellraiser studio session tapes, and the bonus material recovered from them is presented here
as an "expanded ritual" edition.
Back in 1987, Clive Barker's supernatural body-horror classic Hellraiser hitted cinemas
worldwide and introduced audiences to the demonic Cenobites. Barker was a devoted COIL fan
(Peter Christopherson and John Balance), and he famously said they were the only band he'd
ever heard on record whose music he'd had to take off because, in his words, "they made his
bowels churn.". He initially invited them to compose the film's music, and the group began
recording cues. But the producers at New World Pictures ultimately rejected the material in
favor of a more traditional approach, bringing in Christopher Young, whose final score remains
excellent, if less experimental. What remains from Coil is an unfinished soundtrack with
surviving fragments and rough ideas, abruptly left behind mid-process, a glimpse into an
alternate Hellraiser movie, one we can only fantasize into existence.
Nearly 40 years later, key long-term collaborators and Coil's "secret third member" Danny Hyde
located the original Hellraiser studio session tapes, and the bonus material recovered from them
is presented here as an "expanded ritual" edition, reassembled into a standalone, possibly
definitive and strangely beautiful nightmare suite. Play it in the dark and experience the
consequences of raising hell…
