Creepy Goth Goodness From History Of Guns With An Anniversary Release For Little Miss Suicide

History Of Guns 
Little Miss Suicide (25) 
Liquid Len Records 
 
It’s a remarkable anniversary for History Of Guns. The UK-based industrial post-punk mainstays are celebrating 25 years of Little Miss Suicide, one of their most popular and long-serving numbers. This new video combines the music with footage taken from 1998 when the band performed it during its first outing. Formed in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, the band have been leading the way in the futurepunk scene that took control at the turn of the century. All the original audio files have been pulled out of the vault and handed over to a crack team of studio professionals to get the music sounding its best. Max Rael and Caden Clarkson took to the mixing duties before Pete Maher (of U2, Depeche Mode, Nick Cave, Nine Inch Nails credit) mastered the final version. The best thing about it is that 25 years on Little Miss Suicide is popular, alive, and as healthy as ever.  
 
Organic studio sounds begin the track as the drumming kicks in with a quick and catchy beat. Guitars and vocals enter, churning riffs sit tightly on the push of drums as a harmonised and deep lyric section begins. Dramatic projection of the words pushes the goth culture to the forefront as spooky and melancholy devilishness takes the story of the song to new heights. An edge of tongue-in-cheek comic-book style gives rise to great sounding bleepy synths that spiral and gurgle as the distorted guitar cranks on with its tight and penetrating patterns. A genuine retro and vintage feel permeates the track with the low-fi delivery finding space through the quirk and punch that this genre does best.
