Vox Populi! - La Cathédrale Morte



Cassette, C40
Label : Cause And Effect, US, 1985


"La Cathédrale Morte" is one of the rarest Vox Populi! releases. Thanks to Axel Kyrou for the cover's pictures !
Vox Populi! was one of the major bands of the 80s french post-industrial music scene. After their last vinyl release in 1989, many thought they had ceased making music. But they are still active today, searching labels to release both early and new material :

In 2007, a retrospective Pacific 231 & Vox Populi! CD, "Cthulhu Revisitation", has been released by Monochrome Vision, including old and new material :
