About Me
split w/ Josh Lay & Poochlatz' (BGDT 011, BlackGapDeathTrap, 2007)
Josh Lay (also the drummer of Cadaver in Drag) kicks off with some unholy noise invocations. But don’t expect the typical full blast tornados, but a more sophisticated approach, which still sounds totally demented. Lay carefully places his sound, ranging from shrilling feedback assaults to deep analogue rumbling colored with bruises of white noise and spiked with industrial waste. What is remarkable about this recording is Lay’s ability to focus on musical tension, creating a claustrophobic and blessed out gem of contemporary noise terrorism. Poochlatz’s last release 'Cold Turkey' on BlackGapDeathTrap showed their fascination with the unholy rituals of Black- and Doom Metal. Now they are diving again into new directions, focusing on thunderous analogue-equipment abuse. Using tape machines, effect pedals and conventional instruments like a bass guitar, they create densed sonic structures, fuzzed out noise crescendos and screaming, head spinning vocal loops. Two tracks of mind bending, metallic psychedelia. Glass Ceiling hail from Cologne. Tracktitles like 'Pestpriest' and 'Stabbed with Bones' indicate where the musical journey goes on this CD-R. A steady drum machine pulse sets the scene and gets interwoven with electronics and crunchy guitar chaos. Everything ends in a mind sucking drone. Submit yourself to self-destruction. Limited to 130 copies. 7€ (postpaid)
"Blood Garage" (BGDT 008, BlackGapDeathTrap, 2007)
"Imagine being locked in a dark garage, smelling the stench of fresh blood and hearing the muffled screams of other victims, waiting for their sure death.
After “Fog of Execution†(released on BlackGaps sublabel Gay Wizard), Glass Ceiling strike back with another full blast assault which will make your ears bleed and your bowels collapse. On “Blood Garage†the duo of Raphael Smarzoch (guitar, electronics) and Daniel Laig (guitar, vocals, electronics) evoke psychedelic thunderstorms out of the deepest basements of blood ridden Cologne. Everything sounds so wrong. Fucked up guitar feedbacks and mangled chords get swallowed by the buzz of misused equipment and mixer abuse into one of the darkest black holes ever. Expect Pure Cosmic Destruction !"
