569 (album)

569 is the title of a studio album by British experimental rock band, Coil. Released in 1995, it is a collection of outtakes and unreleased material from their Backwards sessions, which were originally intended to be Coil's major label debut on Nothing Records. These sessions occurred from 1993-1996.

The title, 569, is derived from the studio number at Nothing Studios in New Orleans where the recordings took place. The album showcases Coil's darker, more industrial sound, influenced by their collaboration with Trent Reznor and the atmosphere of the studio environment. Key themes explored within the album include addiction, paranoia, and the occult.

While Backwards remained unreleased in its original form for many years, 569 provides a glimpse into the creative process and the distinct sonic landscape Coil was developing during that period. Tracks from 569 are generally more raw and less polished than those that eventually appeared on re-workings of Backwards material.
