G.I.S.M

...they've been called the worlds most insane hardcore band which is naturally open to conjecture as the terms can only be relative to what is known to each individual whose opinion is a singular voice within so many (un)like musings...at any given moment G.I.S.M are quite likely to be an anarcho/crusty combo with death metal string squealing mayhem or getting busy with a scruffy lumbering thud punk racket with progrock guitar dexterity solos flying fast and furious...unintelligible throat ripping aplenty and just to make it more DADA than it already is when the vocal strains can be discerned the words don't make linear sense though no doubt this can be down to translation/original meaning and interpretation...cats who may not be as hep to this aggregation of japan noisenix as they'd like can rest assured these hooligans of the freeform are well into the DADA worldview spontaneous action/reaction, for just as the original DADAists took time out to catch a train to a city far away to confront some journalist who had the gall to diss the latest manifesto/creation with an outright pounding , randy uchida the head honcho has been known to violently attack a cat from another combo who was wearing a 'bootleg' gism teeshirt/attack audiences with a flamethrower and show footage of vietnam atrocities while the cats keep pummelling out psychic storms of rocking noise/set about photographers who were about to capture his soul and turn him into some sort of underground star...far from inclinations to be some poster boy for extreme pop culture he enjoys contact with the japan red army cult/commune and other such mischive makers who continue to be a thorn in the side of the industrial military complex...stereo panning and psychedelic squelchy fx pop up when needed to push the whole bundle into orbit, one step beyond...though this is a compilation of rare tracks from long gone cassettes and wax it plays as a whole really well and takes the listener deep into the wig mangling world of GodInSchizoidMind...one thing that does become clear after a few spins is 'punks is hippys'...
...attack...

...legendary underground hardcore/avantnoise/dada/metalpunks let fall a hard-to-find compilation of some of the heavy and heady swill from earlier times...kicks off with some skronky-riffed jazzbo tune to mislead the unwise into thinking they got some parallel universe wobbly lounge LP and then hurtles headlong into some half-hours-worth of avant deathmetal style stoned screaming gutteral roar from somewhere south of hades with speaker shredding fx-pedal guitar screach burrowing its way into the nearest cranium prepared to go the distance...the last 20 minutes is a 3-part progged-out sound collage of droning/chanting/end of the world white noise blast of madness...cats with adventureous ears and sense for the absurdism in art should get on with this real fine, in need of a worthy spinnola...
...noise...
