Theatre Of Hate - Original Sin Legion
Review by Gunter Frank
Theatre of Hate's latest album, Original Sin Legion, has been a much-awaited release for fans of the band. The album is a mix of post-punk and gothic rock, with a sound that is both dark and haunting.
The vocals of frontman Kirk Brandon are as powerful and intense as ever, and the band's instrumentation is tight and well-crafted. The album's lyrics are introspective and thought-provoking, dealing with themes such as identity, society, and spirituality.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Future Is Ours", a haunting and anthemic song that showcases the band's ability to create powerful and memorable melodies. Another highlight is "The Ghost of Love", a slower, more atmospheric track that showcases the band's more introspective side.

Still love this nearly 40 years on

I found this after reading Boy George’s autobiography page 165, Kirk wrote the song after having an affair with boy George! “I’ve had to rearrange my whole mentality, my sexuality”

I remeber when they wrote this , its a bit Radiohead obviously 'may ' have been an inspiration for Radiohead.

When kirk hits that first high note you know you're in for a classic.
Joy Division were great , however, if you need a band that epitomises the the early 80s post punk doom laden darkness, then stop looking.

Theatre of Hate - original sin
Since you came in my life
I've had to re-arrange my whole reality
Not sexuality, something cleaned
A pure mentality...mentality...mentality
Their original...their original... sin(repeat)
Acid tears on your make-up
All illusion is gone
Impaled upon your mask
All delusion is shown...is shown...is shown
Their original...their original... sin
Since you came in my life
I've had to re-arrange my whole reality
Not sexuality, something cleaned
A pure mentality...mentality...mentality
Their original...their original... sin(repeat)
Acid tears on your make-up
All illusion is gone
Impaled upon your mask
All delusion is shown...is shown...is shown
Their original...their original... sin
