Throbbing Gristle is an industrial group that emerged from the avant-garde performance art collective COUM Transmissions. They started performing in 1976 and concluded their journey with a memorable show in San Francisco in 1981, which was later released as "Mission Of Dead Souls". After officially forming on September 3, 1975, Throbbing Gristle disbanded on June 23, 1981. Following the split, Genesis and Peter formed Psychic TV (with Peter eventually joining Coil), while Chris and Cosey continued as Chris & Cosey. In 2004, they reunited after a hiatus of 23 years to plan a weekend festival that ultimately didn't happen. Instead, they recorded a limited TGNOW album in London. Since then, they have released new material and remasters along with live performances.

In 2010, Genesis decided to withdraw from touring with Throbbing Gristle, prompting the remaining three members to rename themselves X-TG. Sadly, Peter's passing in November of that year marked the end of TG/XTG for good. However, one final release under the name X-TG came out in 2012.

Note: Throbbing Gristle operated as an organization where all releases had to be approved collectively rather than individually by its members. Most official releases were issued by Industrial Records, Fetish Records, and Mute (with some exceptions).

Mute are happy to announce the re-release of Throbbing Gristle’s D.o.A. The Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle on double CD (album plus 11 bonus tracks) with an 8 page booklet and transparent green vinyl with 8 page 12” booklet and download with the 11 bonus tracks. This is their second full length album, which was originally released in 1978 on the Industrial label. Pitchfork described the album as “a nauseating masterpiece, and an essential recording”. AllMusic stated that the album “finds the group assembling collages of computer noise, cassette tapes on fast forward, looped feedback and tape hiss, surreptitiously recorded conversation, threatening phone calls, and much more, all to a grand alienating effect, the sound of a gray day in a British tower block after all the drugs have run out.” The album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Throbbing Gristle member Chris Carter recalled: “DoA showcased some of our strongest work and established the course we would head in.” Throbbing Gristle are Chris Carter, Peter ‘Sleazy’ Christopherson (who sadly passed away on November 25, 2010), Cosey Fanni Tutti and Genesis Breyer P-Orridge.
