Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth (TOPY) will be remembered for its crucial influence on youth culture throughout the 1980s, popularizing tattooing, body piercing, "acid house" raves, and other ahead-of-the-curve cultic flirtations and investigations. Its leader was Genesis P-Orridge, co-founder of Psychick TV and Throbbing Gristle, the band that created the industrial music genre. Included within this handsome limited signed 544 page hardcover sewn-bound ribbon-augmented bible are TOPY's apocryphal scriptures, decades-worth of updates, making this, is author Genesis Breyer P-Orridge puts it, "the most profound new manual on practical magick, taking it from its Crowleyan empowerment of the Individual to a next level of realization to evolve our species."

INFO: Throbbing Gristle fut un groupe singulier, sans doute le plus subversif et novateur jamais apparu dans l’univers de la musique rock expérimentale. Né sur les cendres du collectif de performeurs extrêmes COUM Transmissions, TG a eu cette particularité d’avoir inventé et conceptualisé à lui seul un genre tout entier : la musique industrielle, prompte à déclencher les polémiques par ses jeux avec les interdits sociaux, le versant sombre de la psyché humaine et des œuvres musicales jusqu’au-boutistes, proches du bruit pur.
Cet ouvrage s’attache à relater le parcours de cette formation séminale de ce genre trop méconnu, parcours qui ne s’est pas arrêté en 1981 avec la dissolution du groupe puisque les quatre membres de TG, Genesis P-Orridge, Peter « Sleazy » Christopherson, Cosey Fanni Tutti et Chris Carter, n’ont cessé depuis de découvrir de nouveaux territoires musicaux, au sein de ces formations incontournables du paysage électronique et expérimental que sont Psychic TV (le second groupe de P-Orridge), Coil (que Christopherson formera en 1983 avec John Balance), Chris & Cosey et enfin, depuis 2004, un TG ressuscité.
