Dogs Blood Rising was recorded at Shinju and IPS studios, with the exception of Raio No Terrasu which was recorded live at Bar Maldoror on November 25, 1983, on the thirteenth anniversary of the death of Yukio Mishima through hara-kiri and beheading.
This LP was reprinted numerous times with various inserts. The first pressing has pictures printed on the record labels; subsequent pressings have a track listing on the labels.
The second pressing in 1988 includes an one-sided 29x21 cm info-sheet.
Scratched messages:
A= From the desolate fields
B= Into the heart of the Beast.
The theme of this record is 'nightmare'. 'Falling Back In Fields Of Rape' is a precision wicked radio play from noise sculpture Hell, engineered in multipart-progression fashion like Whitehouse's 'Daddo', but more claustrophobic and evocative. 'St. Peters [sic] Keys All Bloody' is a chilling, atmospheric dreamcast of spooky lamentations: malevolently layered fragments of 'Sounds of Silence' & 'Scarborough Fair', blended with a 'Hollow Men' remix of the Lord's Prayer(!) This final track is a haunted house poetry remake of Kraftwerk's 'News'.
