Leaether Strip - Legacy Of Hate & Lust

Legacy Of Hate & Lust is Leæther Strip at full intensity—unrelenting, confrontational, and unapologetically heavy from the first moments onward.

Originally released in 1995, the album sits at the darkest end of Claus Larsen’s catalog, often cited as one of the most aggressive and punishing statements Leæther Strip ever put to tape. There’s no buildup here, no easing in: it opens with “Down There With You” and commits fully to pressure, rage, and catharsis, channeling industrial music as a tool for release rather than restraint.

This edition marks the first-ever vinyl pressing of the album, finally giving physical weight to a record long praised for its severity and emotional force. Framed this way, Legacy Of Hate & Lust feels less like a historical artifact and more like a living document—raw, volatile, and undiminished by time.

Harsh programmed rhythms, distorted electronics, and relentlessly forward motion define the album’s sound. Vocals are furious and direct, locked into the machinery rather than floating above it, reinforcing the record’s sense of total immersion and emotional overload.

For listeners who want Leæther Strip at his most extreme—where industrial becomes endurance, confrontation, and re
