The debut release from Dead Red Velvet, The Ghostly Divide, picks up where Karl Mohr Audio-Yo left off, with a grave shift towards heavy, mood-laden songwriting. Flirting with gothic rock, Mohr’s 6-song collection of dark, slow burners features his best work from 1997-2001. For fans of dark ambient, goth rock, dark electronic, 80s alternative.

Iron Mountain Video
The song “Iron Mountain” popped up briefly on the Karl Mohr short-run CD album Tools For The Analog Revolution and is slated to be released again on a new album called Skeleton Shore through Tape Life Records in 2018. Check out this official Tape Life Records music video by director Elizabeth Fearon.
News
Tape Life Records is currently preoccupied with the re-compiling and re-mastering of the entire Karl Mohr back-catalog. Here’s an example of a rare track that was omitted.
Multibeat Records reborn as Tape Life Records
On January 15, 2015, Karl Mohr ended Multibeat Records, and has moved his music releases to his new label Tape Life Records. The entire back-catalog of around thirty releases is being distilled, re-mastered and re-packaged into ten new albums: a solid gold survey of the years 1987-1997 as Karl Mohr Audio-Yo, and the ongoing fracas that followed, from 1997 to the present incarnation as Dead Red Velvet.
Shopping
Tape Life Records has Dead Red Velvet music, both tangible and digital, and some merch too!
Videos
For videos, the Dead Red Velvet YouTube playlists are recommended, with an emphasis on live concert footage.
Live Recordings
Karl Mohr began playing live November 1st, 1991. This first concert, with Robin Buckley, was a bombastic diatribe of psychedelic industrial noise at a gay biker bar in St. Catharines, Ontario. Subsequent shows have been no less esoteric. Mohr’s live appearances have always tried on new angles, ideas and configurations. The following recordings are from the Karl Mohr & the Fallen Angels period (2004-2009):
- 04/10/16 – Powder Blue Vampire
- 05/05/22 – Looking For You At The Edge Of The World
- 09/08/21 – Storyline
- 09/08/21 – Come Hither Moon
- 09/08/21 – To The Morgue Again
- 09/08/21 – The Girl With The Haunted Eyes
- 09/08/21 – Habitual Equestrian Cycle
