Obligatory informative rant: I guess who was there, what we did and where it went are all sentiments for another occasion. Some other medium, further down the line. It’s all very typical I’m afraid, “boys dead set on kicks thinking eachother great gathering on weekends screaming dancing staying up all night talking blasting knowing everything fearing nothing” kind of deal. And as far as alibis go I can’t say I have one, I was there, I took part, I did my time in the youth crew institute of old-school hardcore naivete, although, I admit, listening back to these tapes I can hardly believe that’s me playing. Then again, we really didn’t give a shit about being musicians, it was all about the scene.

REFUSED ARE FUCKING DEAD

Gallhammer – Gloomy Lights (2004) Rapidshare

January 23rd, 2010 by That Vulture


The album I’m posting here comes from a band named Gallhammer. It’s a japanese blackish doomish metal band with all girl members. Yes, a extreme metal band consisting only of japanese girls.

What do you think about when I say “japanese girls” …?

Japanese stereotypical schoolgirls
You think this, right?

Gallhammer doesn’t exactly have this image, see for yourself:

Yeah, I know, I just played along with the gimmick their recordlabel is using with big success. “WAT?! ALL WAPANESE ALL GIRL EXTREME METAL BAND?!”… Interesting this, but, well, they’re so much more than this gimmick.

The band was formed in Tokyo in 2003.  According to various sources they wanted to create a band in the vein of Hellhammer, and they succeeded I guess. Their music is ugly, minimalistic and simple. Vivian Slaughter in the band cites several bands as influence. Among these she lists Hellhammer, ofcourse, but also Celtic Frost(duh.), Burzum, Amebix, Cathedral, Kraftwerk, Morbid Angel, etc. So the music is a sickening mix of black metal, death metal, crust, doom and so forth. The album posted here is quite unsettling to listen to, but this is kind of what makes it so interesting.

01. Endless Nauseous Days
02. Crucifixion
03. Tomurai: May Our Father Die
04. Beyond The Hate Red
05. Lost Myself
06. State Of Gloom
07. Aloof And Proud Silence
08. Color Of Coma

“I can say that raw feelings make a good sound. Because we are not machine. We could shed blood, could vomit and have feeling of hate. … I wanted to express the mental instability and mental cruelty which a girl has. Now we are holding up pride, hate and life in the front. We are not wearing that dress.” – Vivian Slaughter

Japan has more good stuff to offer, and I’ll most likely post some here sooner or later. Get this album here.
