Former Bay Area trio Pleasure Forever share a new single today from their forthcoming 25th Anniversary reissues of their early catalog and rarities, which are for the first time on streaming services. Today, Pleasure Forever shares “Chemical Priest.”

The band’s two debut 12” EPs (1997 and 1999 respectively) were originally released in 1999 as The Devil’s Pleasures on CD via Troubleman Unlimited. On December 20th, 2024, the band releases those 11 tracks, remastered and with reconfigured artwork, for the first time on streaming services. The first single “An Exact Seance” premiered recently.

In 2007, the band released an LP & CD called Bodies Need Rest (Conspiracy Records), which compiled rare and unreleased tracks. Those tracks have never been available on streaming services, until now. Bodies Need Rest has an updated master and hit streaming services on November 8th, 2024.

20 years after the band’s last proper album Alter (Sub Pop) was released — with the catalog number #666, no less — Pleasure Forever released a new mini-album titled Distal (Solid Brass Records.)

In the two decades between proper albums, Rothbard has released multiple solo albums under his full name Andrew Douglas Rothbard, Clifford played drums in instrumental post-metal band Red Sparowes, as well as Emma Ruth Rundle vehicle Marriages, Jail Weddings and more, Hughes sang and played guitar in Relapse Records sludge metal trio Rabbits and currently in Ssold. The three members formerly played together in synth-punk pioneers The VSS in the mid-90s.
