Album Description
Available in:
Coup d'Etat is the third studio album released by punk rock band The Plasmatics in 1982.
In 1982, a deal was signed with Capitol Records and Dan Hartman offered to produce a demo of the album for Capitol with Rod Swenson at Electric Lady Studios, Jimi Hendrix's old studio, in New York. A demo was arranged, recorded and mixed within a week, but not released. It would be released 20 years later as Coup de Grace.
The album was recorded at Dierks Studios, near Cologne, Germany and was produced by Dieter Dierks, who had just come off a number one album with the Scorpions.
Coup d'Etat was a breakthrough album that began to blend the punk and heavy metal genres, something that would later be done by bands such as S.O.D., Anthrax, and the Cro-Mags by the end of the 1980s. Singer Wendy O. Williams also broke ground for her unique singing style; she pushed her voice so hard she had to travel into Cologne each day for treatment to avoid permanent damage to her vocal cords.
Despite the band's rise in fame, they were dropped by Capitol Records shortly after the album's release when sales proved less than hoped for and their stage shows, which often featured Williams destroying tables, chairs, and other home furnishings with a chainsaw, created considerable controversy.
In 2005, Rock Candy Records re-released the album with expanded liner notes, bonus tracks, and a re-master of the entire original album.
