CURRENT 93 was formed in 1982 by David Tibet, the beyond-gone-beyond Jhonn Balance and Fritz Haaman, and unfortunately released the 12" single LAShtAL, shortly before the first C93 album NATURE UNVEILED which was then swiftly followed by a DOGS BLOOD RISING. Scroll down through playing at Bar Maldoror IN MENSTRUAL NIGHT, presenting SWASTIKAS FOR NODDY as the EARTH COVERS EARTH, running like Hell from CHRIST AND THE PALE QUEENS MIGHTY IN SORROW, accessing the THUNDERPERFECTMIND and seeing THE SADNESS OF THINGS and THE INMOST LIGHT ITSELF after avoiding RUINE OR SOME BLAZING STARRE whilst living in a MUSICAL PUMPKIN COTTAGE, they and he recently released the new album BLACK SHIPS ATE THE SKY, which features David Tibet, Michael Cashmore, Ben Chasny, Steven Stapleton, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Marc Almond, Baby Dee, Antony, Clodagh Simonds, John Contreras, Pantaleimon, William Breeze, William Basinski, Shirley Collins, and Amy Phillips. It was followed by a split-CD by Current 93 and David's heroes OM, called BLACKSHIP SHRINEBUILDER (INERRANT RAYS OF INFALLIBLE SUN). A 2CD "best of" was released by Sanctuary both in the US and in the UK/EU titled JUDAS AS BLACK MOTH. The new album by David and C93 is called ALEPH AT HALLUCINATORY MOUNTAIN and was released on May 18, 2009. He is currently working on the new album and a series of shows which will all be released around his birthday in March 2010.
David has worked extensively with many people, perhaps most extensively of all with Steven Stapleton of Nurse With Wound, Michael Cashmore of Nature & Organisation, Joolie Wood, Ben Chasny of Six Organs of Admittance and Maja Elliott.
David paints and draws Hallucinatory Patripassianist Dream Texts, landscapes and portraits of cats, spirit guides and Saints. He founded, and still runs, Durtro Press, Ghost Story Press and Coptic Cat Press, which have published around 40 or so books, mainly by Thomas Ligotti and Count Stenbock, but by many other authors too. Recently released was a new anthology by Thomas Ligotti entitled "Teatro Grottesco". The next book from Durtro is "Under The Rain And Teeth Of Gods", a long-overdue collection of David's lyrics and texts. He is also working on some Coptic translations he hopes to publish in 2009. At present a majority of the C93 back catalogue is out of print, but with David's friend Mark Logan of Durtro Jnana, all this material will steadily be released in 2008/9 apart from the recordings he hates. David will also carry on with his project of bringing everything Count Stanislaus Eric Stenbock wrote into print. he is also working on translations of Coptic Gnostic texts. He is in the International Cabinet of OTO and has just finished his MA in Coptic Language, Texts and Grammar. He will soon commence a PhD in Coptic.
He lives 2 minutes walk from the seaside in Sussex, on the English South-Eastern coast, whilst he prepares to move to his houses in Rome and Panar.
