G.S. is Grzegorz Siedlecki (Horologium, Krepulec, Totenhaus). G.S.'s sound evokes the elemental completion of the symbol, together with the mechanical and almost unconscious gesture of the ritual. This is the ideal place for a music which is obsessive in its forms, rarified and nebulous in its emanations. The six tracks which coldly paint the soundpath evoked by G.S. offer a series of industrial soundscapes in a sacred and tormented key, where the inviolable dark of an ancient nave meets the grieving silence of an abandoned industrial area. Ltd x 545 numbered copies in a textured, outsized sleeve.
G. X. JUPITTER-LARSEN & MR CALIFORNIA - 'Concrete Backyard' LP (Peer Pressure Zombie)
Patience-frying "punk rock" ear-gauger MR. CALIFORNIA hooks up with industrial noise monger GX JUPITTER LARSEN (HATERS), and goes all-out to fuck your shit up. A confounding blend of lo-fidelity tweets, bleeps, blurps, noise and looped beats completely bathed in dust-on-the needle static. There may be some singing in there as well, can't be certain. 300 copies, vinyl only.

GALERIE SCHALLSCHUTZ - 'Cocoon' CD & DVD (Tesco Organisation)
Galerie Schallschutz’s first ever live appearance at the Tesco Festival / Antwerp 2007. With the sole purpose of giving the audience a great night’s entertainment, Galerie Schallschutz have put together an exceptionally amazing multimedia show with a profound stage concept. To maximise attention G.S. have optimised their performance almost theatrically, with a highly topical theme that covers the controlling of willpower, observation and constrictions of individual basic rights, and the ideology of freedom! Moreover, the musical concept with its layered ambient-drones, deep pulsed frequencies and manipulated interferences, was produced specifically for this special event and contains completely new, and most importantly, previously unreleased sounds. Skillfully filmed and tastefully produced by a professional German TV- and multimedia company! Comes in a luxury 6-panel DVD digipak with 8-page booklet.

GALERIE SCHALLSCHUTZ - 'H.A.A.R.P.' CD (Tesco Organisation)
Based on a US military project referred to as HAARP ([High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program) near Gakona, Alaska, the material on Galerie Schallschutz's debut album is composed of extended structures that usually evolve from and into pulsating frequency patterns and deep enveloping patterns of noise. Crisp production and a subtle use of the stereo spectrum is used throughout. Presented in a super jewelbox.
GALERIE SCHALLSCHUTZ - 'Montauk Project' CD (Tesco Organisation)
Galerie Schallschutz delivers another superior release with strong thematic content. "Montauk Project," also called the "Phoenix Project" during some of its phases, was a covert government operation that took place during the '70s and early '80s at an abandoned Air Force radar base in Long Island, New York. Much evidence has surfaced indicating that the base and the subterranean facilities were (and still are) used for top secret, ultra-classified research and experimentation into inter-dimensional technology, quantum and particle physics, black hole simulation, electro-magnetic fields, weather control, psychotronics, particle beam technology (HAARP transmissions), and mind control. Galerie Schallschutz provide you with the perfect soundtrack to go further into this secret world. Presented in a special 6-panel DVD digipak with hologram sticker.
GALLHAMMER - 'Gloomy Lights' CD (Hello From The Gutter Records / Goatsucker Records / Bestial Burst Records)
Killer!!! Gallhammer is three extreme Japanese females (headed by Vivian Slaughter), heavily influenced by Hellhammer, Burzum and Amebix. And, as is often the case with Japanese acts, this is obscure and unusual metal, somewhere between black metal, doom and sludge. This debut 8 track album was a dedication to their influences but also created a new, unique and dark sickly sounding atmosphere of their own. The album's themes are based around isolation, oppression, and a world without colour. The band signed to Peaceville for subsequent recordings. **Watch out for the forthcoming Sehnsucht (Vivian Slaughter / Maniac) album on Cold Spring!**

GARY HIGGINS - 'Red Hash' CD (Drag City)
Recorded in 1973, just before its creator, the singer-songwriter Gary Higgins, was incarcerated on a serious drugs charge, and little heard until its release in the late 1990s, the casual psych-folk masterpiece RED HASH is a time capsule from a different era. The empathy between the musicians, who had previously performed together for a number of years around north-west Connecticut, is obvious from the opening bars of "Thicker Than a Smokey," whose acoustic, almost Indian feel recalls Crosby, Stills & Nash, and songs such as "I Pick Notes From the Sky" anticipate a future generation of Neofolk musicians, such as Devendra Banhart, Six Organs Of Admittance and Joanna Newsom.

GEISHA - 'Die Verbrechen Der Liebe' CD (Crucial Blast)
This hour-long, six track monolith follows Geisha into a psychedelic black storm, covered in a thick sheen of white noise and gritty distortion. Seminal noise rock / sludge combined with violent, chaotic noise, drone-noise and corrosive skree, percussive pummel, and deranged singing. Includes the monstrous 30:35 "Theme From Diana" - a re-working of a "metal percussion" set that Geisha originally performed live. A slowly building fog of voices and effects and shimmering metal that blooms into an expanse of droning, fx-heavy guitar, looping samples, cosmic effects, and improv percussion. It's a kind of rumbling industrial dronescape that stretches out forever, until it suddenly explodes into speaker-annhilating noise-metal dirge. Ltd x 1000 copies in a gatefold jacket.
GELSOMINA & NO XIVIC - 'Furnace' CD (Some Place Else)
"Furnace" is an unlikely, yet strangely natural union of No Xivic, renowned sculptor of dark electro-acoustic soundscapes, and Gelsomina, Finland's most prolific harsh noise artist. The title track, also the main piece on the album, is a live collaboration recorded in late 2006, a grand opus of psychedelic noise with a peculiar 'kraut' flavour! In addition to this, both artists created exclusive tracks on their own to complete the album. In total, "Furnace" is a 44-minute blast of fire, brimstone and hazardous electric currents. Presented in a slimline square DVD case.
GELSOMINA - 'Nostalghia' CD (Cipher Productions / Musically Incorrect Records)

GENGHIS TRON - 'Board Up The House Remixes Vol. 5' 12" (Crucial Blast)
If Genghis Tron's frayed and sparking mix of aggressive mathcore and electronics wasn't innovative enough, they've embarked on an ambitious multi-label remix project following their first album, "Board Up The House". The three tracks on the fifth and final edition comes wrapped in layers of distortion at once atmospheric and damaging. Tim Hecker's take on the title track is a slow thaw of icy electronic texture, and the Nadja remix of "I Won't Come Back Alive" stretches it out to fifteen minutes of buried drum hits and chilly synths. The final track is a distorted electro remix of "I Won't Come Back Alive" by Dudes You Can Trust. Ltd x 1000 copies on magenta / mint green marbled vinyl.
GENGHIS TRON - 'Dead Mountain Mouth' CD (Crucial Blast)
Recorded at Godcity Studios with Kurt Ballou (Converge), "Dead Mountain Mouth" moves beyond the rapid-fire electro / grind genre-splicing of their debut EP "Cloak Of Love", and forms something more fluid and cohesive, an arcane union of digital dreams and brutal heaviness, where speedcore eruptions blossom from clouds of maximum beat-driven electronic bliss, and futuristic metal riffage seethes from your speakers. These ten gloriously-dense and triumphantly catchy jams soar through valleys of immense crush and alien vistas of 8-bit wizardry unlike anything you've heard before...
GENOCIDE ORGAN - 'In-Konflikt' CD (Tesco Organisation)
First full-length studio album from G.O. since "The Truth Will Make You Free" was released in 1999. These 11 new tracks reflect the development of the band during the last five years - a mixture that ranges from industrial and power electronics to the dark, depressive, ambient-noise outbursts for which Genocide Organ is known. G.O. doesn't reflect concrete events of any particular nature - this is an abstract questioning of everything with anything - a call to action that ends in a waste of energy - a call for a movement that is a waste of time - a nihilistic, pessimistic worldview that leads somewhere. We all just fill space and are part of "In-Konflikt". Presented in a debossed digipak with booklet.
GENOCIDE ORGAN - 'Remember' 2 x CD (Tesco Organisation)
The 10th anniversary of “Remember” sees its re-release, containing an extra of 50 minutes of live material (total time: 139 minutes).

All material was remastered for this release by Jerome Nougaillon (Propergol) and the artwork is completely overworked, now presented in a stunning silver-embossed, gatefold hardcover with booklet.
GERRITT & JOHN WIESE - 'The Disappearing Act EP' MCD (Misanthropic Agenda)
It's Wiese - brace yourself. This 20 minute EP sees the noise maverick working with Misanthropic Agenda label boss Gerritt, hardly a shrinking violet himself, having gone head to head with Merzbow, D Yellow Swans and Sunn O))) in the past. 'The Disappearing Act EP' starts out with two short, sharp shocks of mashed-up sound, sudden jolts of electricity and the worrying rush of what sounds like toxic gas escaping from a canister. The final track is one 15 minute fade up of unbearably caustic jet engine whine. It'll have you pinned back in your armchair while your face gets pummelled by its horribly intense power. Digipak.
Brutal ambient noise and drone/doom split from two great young acts. Ghäst offers up two monsters: the 21+ minute torturous noise / dark ambient epic "Le Noye" and the ultra sick, ascetic doom mutilation "Tetanos". The three tracks of Rape-X are united by one title "Civil Servant" and divided into 3 chapters 'The Cop', 'The Commissioner' and 'The Mayor'. A much more aggressive noise attack than the Canadians!

To be more precise, the weird reality functioning in accordance with specific laws in sagas that has been deeply ingrained in human mind from time immemorial. This is arcane, but not necessarily unapproving worldview of the supernatural world as the dark powers. Each track here projects a fascinating interpretation of the archaic thinking system in music. Vivacious and a bit eerie, the album is difficult to define in terms of music style.
