A massive four-disc box that screams of industrial overkill as only Cleopatra Records can, Black Bible actually starts out quite well, with period classics from Bauhaus, Legendary Pink Dots, Ministry, Fields of the Nephilim, Tones on Tail and 1000 Homo DJs. By the second disc things go downhill, with newer tracks from Spahn Ranch, Big Electric Cat, Genitorturers and Electric Hellfire Club. That still leaves more than 30 tracks of middling-to-downright-obnoxious industrial music; the label even dredged up a Marilyn Manson track, a remix of "Transylvanian Concubine" by Rasputina.
