gnod: chaudelande

Gnod's Chaudelande Vol. 1 & 2 (2011& 2012) vinyl-only albums on Tamed Records have become a thing of infamy as two of the greatest slabs of beat-driven, shamanistic space-noise to have been released over the past few years and Rocket Recordings is proud to bring these two mammoth LPs together for the first time on CD. The collective that is Gnod has risen out of the DIY ethic of Manchester's Islington Mill. Central to the ethic is an alternative approach to musical creativity and freedom of expression with no regard to established opinions. Gnod is a state of mind. Those who seek Gnod, will find Gnod -- the universe is centered on neither the earth nor the sun, it is centered on Gnod. Recorded in Studio Chaudelande, France, Chaudelande takes Gnod's convulsive vision, straps on electrodes, charges the amps, then overstimulates the vital organs as a torrent of contorted sounds akin to the likes of PiL, Hawkwind, and Butthole Surfers ignite like an arc-flash, repetitive blaze. The epic pilgrimage that is Chaudelande will take the listener on a ride through the narrow chinks of the cavernous mind in the frenzied spirit of This Heat, Sunburned Hand Of The Man and the repetitive beats of Krautrock via Wax Trax. So come join the cult that is Gnod's Chaudelande, as once again the band deliver another jolt to the unsound mind.
