Overview
Overview
It is also an alternative spelling of Eschaton, the end of the world in theology. The concept is referred to in occult circles, and Coil had an unreleased compilation titled "Eschatology." The record label is often associated with the symbol of the "Chaos Cross" and the "Twisted Chaos Cross", symbols which have appeared on several Coil releases, such as Gold Is the Metal (With the Broadest Shoulders).
