G. S. - 'Metafizyka' CD (Ars benevola Mater)
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, also of SEHNSUCHT), 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.

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.

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!

GIRNU GIESMES - 'Bevardes Salos' CD (Autarkeia)
The tenth album by the Lithuanian post industrial pioneer Girnu Giesmes uniquely marks the jubilee of composing and is distinguished by its special maturity and professionalism. Each frequency, sample or rhythm has been composed by the author himself. Some tracks are in a drone style, others in ambient, while the third contains dynamic, elemental rhythms. However, all tracks in the album have one common trait - they cannot be compared to anything else you heard before. Even the general mood of the album, although it is very close to human emotions, is practically indescribable in words. Most probably the title of Bevardes Salos (Nameless Islands) has been purposefully chosen for this musical journey, so that various listeners could explore and discover their unique vision emerging from the play of sounds. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak.
Eighth album of Lithuanian post-industrial pioneer Girnu Giesmes. This latest album is titled with an ancient relic and Lithuanian euphemism "Rupus Miltai": meaning some higher element of communication. The web of senses generated by the album "Rupus Miltai" throws the listener along emotional drafts, as if a whirlwind carrying a small butterfly. Transparent Ambient grows into the hysterical ritual dance of shamans, leading to a labyrinth of feelings. As the battle falls, the light descends. With various eclectic post-industrial accents twinkle, with unique style aesthetics unrolling and blazing in unconventional loops of dark and hypnotic ambient. Limited edition 299 copies in a square DVD case.
GIRNU GIESMES - 'Tiems, Kas Budi uz Slenkscio' CD (Autarkeia)
The ninth album of Girnu Giesmes (which translates as "For Those WHo Keep Vigil Beyond The Threshold) is dedicated to the next element of the archaic worldview of Lithuanians, that is, the mythological sagas. 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. Psychedelic ambient... bizarre broken rhythms and loops... but with a strong and interesting mood, creating rich and professionally compiled sound collages. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak.
Originally formed in Athens, in 2004, Glimmer Void is Stelios Mastrodiamadoglou, Thalia Makri, George Kokkoras, Diana Rahmanina, George Skoufas and Dimitris Zannis.

Picking up where 2008's "An Epiphanic Vomiting Of Blood" left off, Gnaw Their Tongues is back with nine new tracks of fearsome blackened orchestral chaos and abstract horror that still sounds like little else out there. An even heavier bass-assault compared to the other releases, and this is easily the heaviest Gnaw Their Tongues release yet. This monstrous, noxious bottom-end roar that skulks and slithers throughout the album suggests a foul fusion of Abruptum's black chaos and Leonard Rosenman's most nightmarish film scores, piled in towering heaps of sadistic noise, warped orchestral strings, degraded samples, shrieking voices, and punishing lurching doom draped in suffocating atmosphere. This album plunges even deeper into a black pit of cinematic horror, sexual perversion and shapeless heaviosity. Hardback digifile.
GNAW THEIR TONGUES - 'An Epiphanic Vomiting Of Blood' CD (Crucial Blast)
Reissue of the extremely limited LP (Ltd x 250, Burning World Records) from this ultra heavy act. Harrowing, apocalyptic, bestial ritual music from the deepest, darkest cellars of the Netherlands. Avant black metal, agonising funeral doom and blackened experimental drone noise stab forth again and again until all the blood is spilt and total carnage is all that remains. Pure dread put to music. Recommended for disturbed folk into Abruptum, Khanate, Axis Of Perdition, Swans and Univers Zero. "The bleakness and sheer refusal to allow any light to permeate proceedings alongside the non-linear, sprawling nature of the tracks will alienate a lot of people, but for anyone looking for something truly extreme, you’ll have a hard time beating this" (Kerrang). Hardback digifile.

Originally released through the band's own Crashing Jets imprint, "Dead In The Woods" is a massive exhortation of lumbering metallic sludge rock, freely improvised amplifier noise, crushing riff splatter, massive doom and sky-streaking psychedelic corrosion. This re-issue features a full remastering by Scott Hull at Visceral Sound, and comes in a digifile with all-new artwork.
Full length CD of "network malfeasance-themed power electronics and industrial" by this Canadian act. 8 tracks of harsh ambient and death industrial for the apocalypse. File next to Brighter Death Now and Anenzephalia. Beautifully presented in a black 6-panel cardstock cover, printed with silver ink. Less than 500 copies worldwide.

GRIMORIUM VERUM - 'Of Seals, Spells And Spirits' CD (Mercurius Collective)
Dark Majestic Musical magick. This is Neoclassical music combined with industrial ambient soundscapes at it's best. Initiated by poet / musician Gwydion Sagelinge and synthesist Darque, the recordings date back to 1998 and were fully remastered in 2008 to grant it the bombastic and grotesque sound it deserves. The perfect soundtrack of a nearing end, or a musical representation of the magician's mind while preparing the tools for his grandest work.Complex classical compositions interwoven with intergalactic sonic pathways of industrial ambient. Issued in a limited edition of 500 hand-numbered copies in a black envelope sealed with red wax, containing an 8-page hand-bound full colour booklet on high quality structured paper.

GRUNTSPLATTER - 'The Aberrant Laboratory' CD (Dark Vinyl)
The fourth release from Gruntsplatter builds a more transcendent atmosphere, weaving together a sustained darkness that conceals the grimy implements of the taboo nestled in the din. The brooding ambience and cutting frequencies combine with odd melody and an enveloping, fluid mix that lead you through the dirty laboratories and hovels of forbidden science where genius and atrocity meet on level ground. The familiar components of subtle detail, amorphous depth, and seething moods of Gruntsplatter are intact and further evolved here to allow the listeners thoughts to wander. Comparable to Blackhouse, Hunting Lodge, Throbbing Gristle, SPK, Lustmord etc.

GRUNTSPLATTER - 'The Eulogists Assembly' CD (Eibon Records)
Bringing "Death Industrial" to new, never before experienced levels, US noise manipulators Gruntsplatter throw us in a deserted, abandoned, otherworldly land where the only sounds come from agonizing machineries, abandoned to their inevitable rusting processes – construction, concretion, abrasion, decay. A flow of energetic noise bursts mixed with dark ambiences, a new sensational chapter in the Gruntsplatter saga.
GRUNTSPLATTER - 'The Passions Of A Cripple' 12" (Force Of Nature)
Gruntsplatter (aka Scott E. Candey) delivers 6 tracks of unrelenting Death Industrial, adding snarling power electronic vocals - but there are also some lulls of repetition and consistency, with intricately layered and arranged rumbling dark ambient atmospheres. Candey continues on his path to explore the dark side of music. Ltd x 300 copies on beautiful blue marbled vinyl. Now a rare piece!
Harsh Noise from Japan. A Japanese hybrid human / noise-machine that creates noise-scapes of unfathomed depths.

Experience the roar of his live electronics with your own flesh. Includes a collaboration with Sudden Infant. Series III ('loud') in the Ground Fault series.
This 7" EP decisively marks Guilty Connector's new identity, the first side focusing the electronics of the project's renown into an orchestra of feedback drones to realise a searing, attentive piece of tension and resolution. The second side is a re-thought collection of sounds utilising minute low-end whisperings and subtle textural introductions for a subdued counterpoint to the scald of the first. Cut at Abbey Road and pressed at Sydney's Vinyl Factory for attentive sound reproduction. Ltd x 200 copies with collage colour outer and greyscale inner covers, and handstamped labels. Australian import. ACT FAST!
From the ashes of Stalaggh begins the Gulaggh trilogy. A soulripping piece of audio terror. The most disturbing piece so far by these musical avant-garders. This time they used mostly classical instruments (violins, trumpets, saxophones etc). For vocals they used more mental patients than ever before, including over 30 screaming children from a Youth Mental Hospital! Ltd x 300 copies with handmade silkscreen print covers.

GUSTAF HILDEBRAND - 'Primordial Resonance' CD (Cyclic Law)
Second full-length album from Gustaf Hildebrand (ex-Lithivm). A unique, evolved experience inviting you to embark upon an odyssey through ancient and lifeless surroundings.

A captured moment from a strange no man's land lit by a perpetual gloom, "Primordial Resonance" is a voyage only limited by the imagination of the listener. First 1000 copies come in an oversized fold out cover.
