   Gnod are one of my favourite bands, they're from Manchester and over the past couple of years through watching them play shows as often as I can, I've become a bit obsessed!

has anyone seen / heard them? 

They've got a new album out on Rocket Recordings - it's called In Gnod We Trust.

Well worth checking out.

It's heavy, psychy, repetitive, krauty...

(press release : )

Brothers and sisters, to prepare ourselves
to celebrate the sacred mysteries of Gnod,
let us call to mind our sins.

We believe in one Gnod,
Gnod Almighty
makers of heavy black slab on Earth.

We believe in one Chord, seamless, sublime,
the one and only sound of Gnod,
eternally begotten of the marcher.

Gnod from Gnod, light from light,
true Gnod from true Gnod,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the maker;
through Them all riffs were played.

For us and for our salvation
They came down from Manchester;
by the power of Tony’s (un)limit,
They came to reincarnate and made
the last disco’d beat.

Tony’s First Communion, if you choose to
be blessed by this record, is the first reception
of the Sacrament on vinyl; this long-standing
favourite has been celebrated over centuries of
incarnations and Rocket are proud to release
its rite of passage.

The ceremony of this Communion lasts
20 minutes and 2 seconds.

On the second side Gnod rose again in
accordance with the Scriptures; They ascended
into noise upon this Earth and were seated at
the right hand of the Vatican.

This 13 minute holy doctrine sees Gnod take
away the sins of the world; it cleanses the
incense (the in-sense-out-sense) from the all
seeing (third) eye, like a Faustian Butthole
Surfers sharing bread with sh*t & Shine and
John Carpenter turning water into wine.

Some ceremonies owe their institution to purely
physical reason; for Gnod it’s the mystical
reason that They represent.
INGNODWETRUST is founded on honour
and soul, They for one are finally washing their
hands with downcast eyes.
