The legendary Icon of Coil return with a remastered reissue of their groundbreaking debut, Serenity Is The Devil, marking 25 years since the album that helped define the futurepop and EBM movement.

“This digitally enhanced remaster sounds slicker and still has that heady EBM vibe their fans covet and the band are famous for, with accessible, melodic and brooding vocals.”
— Devolution

“One of the most influential acts in the dark electronic genre, with vibes of a souped-up Bauhaus or Peter Murphy on acid.”
— Penny Black Music

“This release will transport you to the year 2000! An incomparable sound that conjures up memories of dance-through nights and one’s own youth.”
— Orkus

Formed in 1997 by Andy LaPlegua (later of Combichrist), Icon of Coil quickly evolved from a solo project into a full-fledged powerhouse with Sebastian Komor and Christian Lund joining soon after. Their blend of driving beats, melodic synths, and brooding vocals set a new benchmark for dark electronic music.

Their debut Serenity Is The Devil (2000) soared to the Top 3 on the German DAC Alternative Chart, followed by The Soul Is In The Software (2002), which claimed No. 1. By the time Machines Are Us (2004) dropped, the trio had firmly cemented their status among the greats — alongside VNV Nation and Covenant — touring across Europe and North America with unmatched intensity.

Now, the 25th Anniversary Edition of Serenity Is The Devil brings the original energy roaring back with enhanced digital clarity and an exclusive unreleased track, “SEC FOUR.”
