Kohllapse is the self-titled debut full-length album by the Australian group Kohllapse.
Recording history
[edit]In 1995, the band began independently recording this album, originally intended as a promotional CD.[1] The band released Kohllapse in 1996. It was noted for its exceptionally dark and varied track listing that combined death, doom, gothic and electronic elements.[1] The song "An End to Pain" features black metal type out put with its buzzsaw guitars and shrieking vocals.[1]
Kohllapse was chosen as the "Pick of the Litter" in HM Magazine's March/April issue in 1997, and was described as "the first Christian band that sounds like Type O Negative".[2] The song "Tell Me Your Fears" was released on the magazine's sampler in 1998.[3]
In 1997 the band signed a distribution deal with Nuclear Blast USA, making the album available for wider audience.[4]
