Hellraiser is a dark sonic journey inspired by one of the most iconic and disturbing visions in modern horror cinema. Drawing from the imagery, themes, and atmosphere of Clive Barker’s Hellraiser (1987), this compilation assembles 11 projects from the dark ambient, experimental, and post-industrial scenes to create an immersive experience that echoes the film’s haunting exploration of pain, pleasure, and the limits of human sensation. The artists in Codex Of Pleasure And Pain offer abstract, oblique responses to its aesthetic and philosophical implications. The compilation functions as a sonic codex, an aural grimoire of sorts, where each piece contributes to a broader cosmology of the Hellraiser universe. The release is accompanied by a printed volume of original short stories, also inspired by Clive Barker’s universe and the themes of Hellraiser, offering a powerful literary counterpart to the music.
