suicide - suicide

Few debut albums have been as influential or as uncompromising as Suicide. Consisting solely of Alan Vega's confrontational vocals and Martin Rev's minimalist synthesizers and drum machines, the duo created a stark, unsettling sound that predated punk, industrial, synth-pop and electronic music by years. Initially misunderstood upon release, the album has since become a landmark recording whose influence can be heard across countless genres.

Released: December 1977.
