HALF GORILLA

About Me

The year is 5487. Mankind has survived nuclear holocaust, starvation, ozone depletion, plagues, and war. However, mankind now has to answer to a new ruler: the Ultra Gorillas. The Ultra Gorillas evolved from the lesser primate species humans had been familiar with for centuries. Only, these gorillas developed full frontal lobe capacity, the ability to communicate and speak the language of man, as well as communicate telepathically. Perhaps most frighteningly, these Ultra Gorillas also developed psionic killing powers, using their minds to kill millions of innocent people.

Not unlike man, the Ultra Gorillas soon began to exploit these powers en masse to suit their personal gains. Greed led to corruption, corruption led to anger, anger led to violence, and violence led to a full blown holocaust of the human race, which left 95% of humans on the planet Earth either dead or enslaved by their primate rulers. Man was powerless to fight back against the superior species. Fate had dealt them what seemed an impossible hand.

But, reason survived. A faction of peaceful Ultra Gorillas gave safe harbor to a small group of militant human resistance fighters, bent on taking back the world for man and attempting to teach, by force if necessary, that man could co-exist with Ultra Gorillas in this post apocalyptic wasteland. Soon, these humans and Ultra Gorillas formed family groups and mated. 100 Half Gorillas were soon born.

The evil Ultra Gorillas were not oblivious, however. Soon, the peaceful Ultra Gorilla/human families were discovered. They were systematically enslaved by the evil Ultra Gorillas, who used their psionic mind powers to torture and force the peaceful Ultra Gorillas into submission, or...death.

Before being killed, one peaceful Ultra Gorilla and his life mate decided that stopping this living horror was beyond their control in their own time. So, they sent four of their strongest offspring back in time to warn mankind of this impending, horrifying future.

These four hybrids arrived up in the year 2005. Though time travel had altered their DNA to appear less like the gorilla forms they had in the future, this actually benefitted their ability to assimilate into the present culture. Now, in this time, these four Half Gorillas are attempting to educate the masses about the social ills that led to the degeneration of society, led to ultra fascism, and ultimately led to the rise of the evil Ultra Gorillas. These Half Gorillas seek to spread their message of peaceful co-existence among all species of primates and humans through the form of primal expression most common to their species in the future: grindcore.

Stop the madness, stop the suffering, support the Half Gorilla!
