C O I L

“Life is sex and death, guilt, fear, and ecstasy. The in-between dilutions of these satisfy most people because they know no better. Because Eden has a barbed wire fence around it, most people stay clear of it. But to me the barbed wire is a beacon, a provocation, a challenge, and it shows that on the other side is something, someone somewhere does not want me to see. So I go! It's my nature, and to an extent Coil reflects and contains these principles. We are never as severe, as brave, as complete, as condensed, as I would like us to be. But we are getting denser, tougher, stronger - most hallucinatory and dangerous”! John Balance, from Everything Keeps Dissolving: Conversations with Coil
