Gilo

Gilo, based out of The Netherlands plucks from many different musical influences and genres to create an inspiring blend of metal that is purely their own.
With their latest 6 track EP: Blood In Blood Out, Gilo shows their ability to play violent metal songs with a relatively large amount of electronic sounds. On a manner that does think of Slipknot, Chimaira, Machine Head and that even agreements calls up with Devildriver and Soilwork.
The band originally formed in August of 2001. Each member brings a unique shade to the canvas and their sound breaths menace, brutality and emotion. You can actually feel the energy and devotion enter your constitution so moshing can no longer be prevented.
Some subjective impressions:
Metalstorm: The production is quite amazing and these guys ought to be congratulated for that emphasis put on the bass guitar. That's the sign of professional work. It is hard to be recognized when you're playing music like metalcore. Nevertheless, this cd shows that Gilo has it all to reach the fame they deserve.
MOD: Gilo pollutes the air with tight insolent, aggressive, nerve-racking, contemporary metal. The vocals go from screams to death grunts to normal vocals, the guitars are firm, tight and spooky, the bass is dirty and it's rich and the drums are massive and raging. The DJ does a great job with samples and fitting scratching. Because of clearly audible influences of Slipknot, Chimaira, Machine Head, Devildriver, Soilwork and Fear Factory most people would depict it as modern metal, but it's more then that. It's all played in an industrial atmosphere and thats why it got balls, sounds raw and is overloaded with power. Gilo is ready to engage the major MTV modern metal acts and beat most of them easily!!
Gilo already played more then 100 shows in NL, did 2 tours in Italy, played a couple of shows in Germany and Belgium and shared the stage with bands such as Volbeat, Misery Signals, Neaera, Destruction, Dark Funeral, Born From Pain, Dreadlock Pussy and Agresión.
As time goes by they face the future head up, play their asses off and just live for one thing: MUSIC!! They try to ignore all the shoving-into-category what's hot/what's not image and appearance crap. Gilo just produces brutal in your face metal and they are looking out for the true headbangers out there, thats all you need to know.
