Acumen Nation - Transmissions From Eville

Transmissions From Eville stands as a cornerstone of American industrial music, a record that helped ignite the Coldwave movement of the mid-1990s. Originally released in 1995, the album marked a defining moment for Acumen Nation, then known simply as Acumen, and pushed the boundaries of what industrial rock could sound like. Its fusion of heavy, metallic guitars with intricate electronic textures created a sound that was both aggressive and hypnotic, a blueprint for a generation of underground acts to follow.

The single Gun Lover became an instant club staple, finding its way into DJ sets across the country and catapulting the band into the national spotlight. Every track on Transmissions From Eville carries that same restless energy, brimming with tension and invention, capturing the moment when industrial music evolved from the factories of the 1980s into something darker, faster, and distinctly American.

Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, Transmissions From Eville returns as a limited edition 2LP release on translucent red vinyl, housed in a striking gatefold sleeve. This expanded version includes rare and unreleased material, featuring a cover of Siouxsie and the Banshees’ Monitor, a live version of Anchorite, the elusive track Ultraviolent, and a remix of Matador. For longtime fans and newcomers alike, this reissue not only revisits a landmark album but reaffirms its enduring influence within the industrial and Coldwave legacy.
