40th anniversary edition of the debut album from Korpses Katatonik, a cult tape originally released by Nekrophile Rekords in 1983. Unlike Zoe DeWitt's later project Zero Kama, the work of Korpses Katatonik (1982-83) remains entirely within the realm of electronic music and shows an uncompromising experimental style comparable to that of Throbbing Gristle, SPK, or Cabaret Voltaire.

Like many other exponents of industrial culture, Korpses Katatonik was inspired by dark psychiatry, pathological abnormalism, necrophilia, and other types of paraphilic aberration. These served as a metaphor for the dark side of a dehumanized society that seeks to maintain control by the suppression of anything that could be regarded as dark, sinister, deviant, or unpleasant from the viewpoint of popular mass culture. The terminology of psychopathological disorders was used by Korpses Katatonik in a subversive way for its own poetic value and many of the rare vocals and track titles were taken from writings of patients of Vienna's famous psychiatrist hospital.

The final track, 'Choronzon', was originally published on the Nekrophile cassette compilation "The Beast 666". It refers to a ritual performed by Aleister Crowley and Victor Neuburg in the Saharan desert in 1909, and anticipates the strong occult implications of DeWitt's ensuing project Zero Kama.
