🎸 Current 93

About

Current 93 is a British experimental music group founded in London in 1982 by David Tibet (born David Michael Bunting). Tibet has been the sole constant member throughout the band's existence, drawing on a rotating cast of collaborators that has included Steven Stapleton of Nurse With Wound and guitarist Michael Cashmore. Starting from an industrial noise base, the group shifted in the mid-1980s toward what Tibet calls 'apocalyptic folk' - acoustic, folk-rooted music woven through with Christian mysticism, occultism and eschatological imagery - and has released well over twenty albums across four decades.
