Three years ago this evening, Jhonn Balance -- lead singer/lyricist of the enigmatic electronic band, Coil -- died from injuries sustained from a twelve foot drop. Balance left behind a staggering body of truly original and inimitable music. His musical partner in the duo, Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson, continues to run the band's label and has since re-convened with his original band, Throbbing Gristle. Balance's early demise tragically put an end to Coil's remarkably prolific career. For more on Balance and Coil's catalog of unique, oft-nightmarish music, click over to Threshold House.
