New visual and audio content emerges from The Konsent, Nouvelles Vagues, and ABney Park, while reissues and vinyl pressings celebrate legacy works by Coil, Wolfsheim, and Project Pitchfork. Notable milestones include the 40th anniversary of Clan of Xymox’s Medusa and the 45th anniversary of Depeche Mode’s Speak & Spell.
