In a career spanning more than forty years so far, Lydia Lunch has taken on many roles: musician, writer, spoken word poet, self-empowerment speaker, podcaster, and actress, just to name a few. Through it all, she’s been an unwavering countercultural voice, using her art as a platform for her outspoken take on a wide range of controversial topics.
A newly compiled release featuring classic re-mastered tracks spanning over more than 40 years selected by Lydia herself. A fine companion to The War Is Never Over movie, showing now in theaters. Features previously released recordings and a full length-version of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs”, which was released in highly edited form…
…on a web-only compilation.
Lydia Lunch: The War Is Never Over by Beth B is the first career-spanning documentary retrospective of Lydia Lunch’s confrontational, acerbic and always electric artistry. As New York City’s preeminent No Wave icon from the late 70’s, Lunch has forged a lifetime of music and spoken word performance devoted to the utter right of any woman to indulge, seek pleasure, and to raise voice in a rage as loud as any man.
