Background notes
Archive material and source history
Pyorrhoea formed in London in the early 1980s, with vocalist Alan Dubin and guitarist Jim Thirlwell at the core. Their debut album 'Chainsaw Dance' came out in 1986, a record that drew sharp reactions from critics and listeners alike. Some dismissed it as noise, while others saw it as something new in extreme music.
Songs like 'Chainsaw Dance' and 'Addicted to Killing' typified their approach: distorted guitars, pounding drums, and lyrics that dealt with violence and nihilism. They followed up with albums like 'Scum Cabaret' and 'Dirty Rotten Bastards,' which mixed hardcore punk with industrial and avant-garde elements.
Pyorrhoea's lineup shifted over time, though Dubin and Thirlwell remained central figures. They cultivated a small but dedicated following, drawn to the band's unrelenting sound and confrontational themes.
