Throbbing Gristle

Throbbing Gristle reunited during the early 2000s for performances, first issuing limited CD TG Now in 2004, followed by Part Two: The Endless Not, their first studio album in over 20 years, in 2007. Industrial Records was reactivated in 2008, and The Third Mind Movements was sold during the band's concerts in 2009. Also during the year, the group released Gristleism, a sound box based on FM3's legendary Buddha Machine. In 2010, P-Orridge decided to stop touring with TG (but didn't officially quit the band), so the rest of the members continued as X-TG. However, Christopherson died in his sleep on November 24, so the band dissolved. Industrial Records became an independent entity again, and reissued several TG albums in vinyl and deluxe two-CD editions. An X-TG album titled Desertshore/The Final Report, partially envisioned as a reimagined version of Nico's Desertshore, was released in 2012, with featured guests including Blixa Bargeld, Marc Almond, and Anohni. P-Orridge continued leading Psychic TV and Chris & Cosey continued as Carter Tutti, additionally working with Factory Floor's Nik Colk Void as Carter Tutti Void. In 2017, coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the release of The Second Annual Report, TG renewed their association with Mute, and the label began reissuing the group's catalog once again. Founder Genesis P-Orridge died on March 14, 2020 in New York City after a two-and-a-half year struggle with leukemia. ~ Jason Ankeny & Paul Simpson, Rovi
