GGFH - Eclipse (1991)


GGFH stands for, Global Genocide Forget Heaven, I guess that sounds a little silly...but be warned, what these weirdo's offer is something far darker than a majority of metal albums, in fact this is downright scary at times. If you like the mutant movie soundtrack music of Swamp Terrorists then the perverse nature of GGFH will certainly appeal, but metalheads be warned, this isn't metal as such. GGFH fit into a void that during the late '80s and early '90s existed between industrial and metal and yet often strayed into cyber dance, avant-garde, industrial soundtrack and the grimly surreal, in fact, this is the perfect unhinged soundtrack for anyone fascinated by serial killers, dark corners, seedy and sick horror flicks. GGFH are fronted by Ghost, a peculiar gent' whose creepy slurps give us bizarre commentary whilst Brian Joseph Walls batters out an electro-synth distorted circus of horrors that borrows film samples, pumps out twisted beats and the all out sinister.

Extremely freaky, bereft of guitars, but more unsettling than a visit from Satan.

7.5/10
