CUT 72 is the latest chapter in the on-going creative exploits of Gary Cut - one of Wales' most innovative and enigmatic underground musicians and multimedia artists. Widely regarded as the Godfather of the Welsh Industrial Music scene he pioneered both the Industrial Metal and Industrial Electronica scenes in Wales during the late 80s/early 90s with his original band, the legendary CUT TUNES.
The mid-90s to the start of the new millennium saw him collaborating on a new project - CUT 23 - with cult Welsh producer and musician Dewi Evans (Rheinallt H. Rowlands) which culminated in the critically-acclaimed album METAL GHOSTS, released in 2002.
As both a musician and visual artist Gary has constantly pushed boundaries and challenged conventions and CUT 72 sees him continuing to produce his groundbreaking Dark Electronica coupled with huge Industrial rhythms, vicious synths and haunting female vocals - but with more jagged edges than ever before. He is currently busy in the studio working on INSANE ASYLUM - a new album in collaboration with acclaimed Japanese cyberpunk author KENJI SIRATORI and will shortly be starting work on a project with Laurie Gordon, vocalist with Canadian band CHIWAWA. Work on the first full CUT 72 album will begin in the new year.
CUT 72 also sees Gary completing the circle and returning to his creative roots - already in the pipeline are a serious of dark soundscape and multimedia projects and in addition to this he will also be producing an on-going series of short and full-length experimental and mainstream films.
In his spare time Gary is the North Wales correspondent for top UK music magazine THE FLY.
