yelworC is an influential yet enigmatic German dark electro-industrial group originally formed in 1987 by Peter Devin and Dominik van Reich.
Consisting of gloomy synthesisers mixed with abrasive dance-beats, overlaid with distorted vocals and occasional audio samples, their music reflected themes of dark magic, religious rituals, death and violence from the off.
Having issued several early demo tapes, yelworC eventually released a debut album in 1992 and an EP the following year, but van Reich then left the band. Devin subsequently recorded two further albums alone in 2004 and 2007. Seventeen years on, Metropolis Records has just released ‘The Ghosts I Called’, a brand new and captivating collection recorded by Devin over a ten year period. It follows a set of four recent vinyl reissues on GH Records that revisits the group’s earliest years.
