Much of Current 93’s early work was similar to late 1970s and early 1980s industrial music: abrasive tape loops, droning synthesiser noises, and Tibet’s distorted, ranting vocals. Later works found Tibet mostly casting off such trappings in favour of a more organic sound, labelled by some as “apocalyptic folk”, occasionally featuring his sinister nursery-rhyme influenced singing and primarily acoustic folk-styled music. Tibet has been the only constant in the group, though Steven Stapleton (Nurse With Wound) has appeared on nearly every Current 93 release, and Michael Cashmore (Nature And Organisation) is another frequent collaborator.
Other notable collaborators have included Douglas P., Rose McDowell, Ben Chasney, Nick Cave, Marc Almond, Antony Hegarty, Baby Dee, and Andrew W.K.
Tibet’s lyrics have been fairly consistent, regardless of delivery: The earlier recordings reflect his preoccupation with death, Christ, mysticism, Aleister Crowley, Tibetan Buddhism, Gnosticism, Weltschmerz, nihilism, Noddy, and a variety of occult notions. The later to present-day period of Current 93’s recordings increasingly reflect Tibet’s interest in Christian mysticism and the apocalypse.
