GNAW: NYC Noise Merchants Unleash Album Details; Teaser Video Posted

New York's favorite malignant noise instigators and recent Seventh Rule signees, GNAW, will unleash the diseased fruit of their sonic discontent this October. GNAW is the maniacal anti-creation of Alan Dubin (Khanate, Old, O.L.D.), Carter Thornton (Enos Slaughter), Jun Mizumachi (Ike Yard), Brian Beatrice and Eric Neuser. Together they've manifested a terrifyingly claustrophobic, seven-track journey of sound where the collective sentiments of fear, trauma, rage and repugnance collide into a cathartic state of brooding, audio disease. Fittingly titled, Horrible Chamber, the follow-up to 2009'sThis Face, which Exclaim! proclaimed "noisy, demented and twistedly glorious," and The Obelisk crowned "extreme, experimental and sonically unpleasant," was recorded at Seizures Palace by Jason LaFarge (Swans, Akron/Family, Khanate, Angels Of Light) and mixed by Brian Beatrice at audioEngine and mastered by James Plotkin (OLD, Scorn, Khanate, Khlyst etc), with additional elements recorded by Beatrice, Dubin, Thornton, and Mizumachi in various chambers.

Comments the band in a distant shriek: "We are thrilled that Seventh Rule is about to unleash Horrible Chamber upon the masses. We have been working hard creating an extremely unique record that will make people feel ecstatic about feeling bad."

GNAW: Industrial Noise Henchmen Join Seventh Rule Recordings

Industrial-infected noise-maligned deviants GNAW are pleased to join the Seventh Rule Recordings family for the release of their upcoming new studio creation of chaos.

GNAW is the sawblade-wrapped-in-razorwire brainchild of Alan Dubin (Khanate, Old, O.L.D.), Carter Thornton (Enos Slaughter), Jun Mizumachi (Ike Yard), Brian Beatrice and Eric Neuser.  Their 2009 Conspiracy Records debut, This Face, described as a "genre destroying journey," incorporated pounding percussion, factory noise, chordal slabs of guitar and bass, homemade electro-acoustic instruments and Dubin’s legendarily scathing vocal craftings. Having assaulted music hordes domestically and abroad over the last four years, the collective will finally unleash their sophomore offering titled, Horrible Chamber, later this year.

Comments the band on joining Seventh Rule: “We are excited to join the Seventh Rule family and to be among the other genre bending, ear-destroying bands that this highly respected label continues to unleash.”

Adds Seventh Rule head Scott Flaster: “GNAW is my go-to tincture of heaviness, dissonance, and fire! It’s only fitting to have them amongst the Seventh Rule family.”

Further info on Horrible Chamber will be divulged in the coming weeks. Until then, suffer.

GNAW: Free NYC Show This Thursday; New Album Under Construction

This month's installment of Fontana's free Tones Of Death metal night takes place this Thursday, May 6th, headlined by audio nihilists GNAW. Free PBR will be served until it runs out.

GNAW Live Terror:

5/06/2010 Fontana's - New York, NY w/ Sin Of Angels, Bubonic Bear

GNAW is the sawblade-wrapped-in-razorwire brainchild of Alan Dubin (Khanate, OLD), Carter Thornton (Enos Slaughter), Jun Mizumachi (Ike Yard), and Jamie Sykes (Thorr’s Hammer, Burning Witch). Their 2009 debut for Conspiracy Records This Face was further infected and finally delivered by engineer Brian Beatrice before being wrought for stage deployment with additional drummer Eric Neuser. Their attack has been described as a “genre destroying journey” and utilizes pounding percussion, factory noise, chordal slabs of guitar and bass and homemade electro-acoustic contraptions. Dubin’s unique and legendary shriek delivers vivid portrayals of all things bad.

The NYC-based unit have been working in the shadows, constructing their diabolical follow-up to This Face. More info on this ongoing auditory terror campaign will be available soon, as well as dates for a GNAW European assault in the works for October.

Media Reactions To This Face:

"...the sound of abjection... a claustrophobic feel, pressing in on you relentlessly." - Signal To Noise

"...Gnaw's sound is abrasive, but relatively concise." - Pitchfork.com

"...an overwhelming monolith of uncompromising and malevolent nastiness." - Brainwashed.com
