About Me

FSS is an independent label. Albums will be released on limited edition, high quality 180 gram vinyl LPs and as high bitrate digital downloads without DRM. Each LP will also have a coupon entitling the purchaser to a free download. FSS offers a subscription service, which entitles subscribers to pre-release mailings of new LPs and digital albums, downloads of non-LP music and a series of special treats commissioned for FSS subscribers. All for one low price and lasting for one year. I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

Sounds Like:Wrnlrd "Schizophrenic and deliriously damaged, some of the most far out “black metal” we’ve heard." Aquarius Records"extremely gratifying blast of home-recorded, anti-social din ; tin-foil-thick guitar buzz in the upper-registers, drums being played with bones (possibly by a caveman, or at least one of his descendants) & what could almost be called “vocals,” were they not buried so deep in the mix as to add only an extra layer of fuzz / texture to the overall morass ..." Mimaragolu Music Sales Gore "There’s an evasive damage to Gore’s take on wordless romp. It’s made manifest in deliberate, measured, and often violent takes on featured instrumentation. A few songs in, it’s crush, kill, destroy in every space, crevice, perforation..." The Left Hand Path "Imagine the deadest, most inhuman moments in Black Sabbath, Black Flag, Butthole Surfers, Killing Joke, Swans. Imagine if someone collated all this bludgeoning sludge, this scatomanic churning, into a seamless cycle of butchery without end or purpose. That’s the sound of Gore." Melody Maker Cristal "It is absolutely not a random noise, but a tightly composed sea of sound, orderly cacophony full of not describe emotions. The sound of Cristal is more emotion than music, which explores unexplored areas. This is really physically sound that balances on the border of the human and inhuman. A unique dark work."
Record Label: Sure is.
Type of Label: Indie
