"Stigmata Martyr" comes from In the Flat Field, the debut album by the English gothic rock band Bauhaus and the first full-length record 4AD ever released, in 1980. Daniel Ash, David J, Kevin Haskins and Peter Murphy share the writing credit, and the band produced and arranged it themselves with Tony Cook engineering: Ash on guitar, David J on bass, Haskins on drums and percussion, and vocals credited to Murphy, Ash and David J.
By then they already had "Bela Lugosi's Dead", "Dark Entries" and "Terror Couple Kill Colonel" out as singles, and the album, cut between December 1979 and July 1980, took its cues from post-punk like Siouxsie and the Banshees and from glam-era David Bowie. Reviews were split at first; these days In the Flat Field counts as one of gothic rock's earliest and most influential albums.
