Profile

[Sometimes appears as [l960978]] World Serpent Distribution was formed in the late 80s and was co-owned by David Gibson, Alan Trench and Alison Webster. It began operation by distributing the artist-run industrial & 'apocalyptic folk' labels [l=Durtro] (Current 93), [l=New European Recordings] (Death In June), [l=United Dairies] (Nurse With Wound) and [l=Tursa] (Sol Invictus). Other similar labels later joined the fold, such as [l=Threshold House]/[l=Eskaton] (Coil), [l=Conspiracy International] (Chris & Cosey) and [l=Biter Of Thorpe] (Danielle Dax/Lemon Kittens). World Serpent also functioned as a label, although they released very few records on their own. The vast majority of the releases they distributed were on other labels & imprints. World Serpent went bankrupt in August, 2004.
