Soul in Flames: the adversarial fires of Cold Meat Industry

ONE NIGHT ONLY SCREENING IN MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA

Presented by: Noise Receptor Journal

FRIDAY 27th June, 2025, 8.30pm

Trailer : https://youtu.be/ULyAujTGYS0?si=uiGOy2yvJoBvl20k

Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/share/1BdVgVY2c3

DETAILS:

Soul in Flames is a new feature-length documentary film that chronicles the rise and fall of the cult underground Swedish record label Cold Meat Industry.

In 1987, Roger Karmanik – a veteran musician of the Swedish industrial scene – founded Cold Meat Industry. Over the next decade, the label grew from a bedroom passion project into a world-renowned record company. Whilst CMI grew exponentially, Karmanik’s underground mindset and work methods remained largely unchanged. Plagued by setbacks in both his personal and professional life – as well as deteriorating mental health – Roger Karmanik eventually hit a wall. CMI was declared bankrupt in 2011.

Then, thirty years after its conception, people from over 40 different countries gathered in Stockholm to celebrate the label’s anniversary – and something unexpected ensued.

TICKETS:

Tickets: www.trybooking.com/1368088

Tickets CANNOT be purchased at the venue. Online ticket sales will close the day prior to screening.
