Doom fans should also make a big effort to catch Alan Dubin’s hefty new release THIS FACE, from his current All Star ensemble Gnaw. Released on the excellent Conspiracy Records (conspiracyrecords.com), Gnaw celebrates missing out like nobody else in the whole damn Universe (sample lyric: ‘Everybody’ ... |

Die Einführung zu dieser Platte, sie sei das Resultat eines ein Jahr andauernden Soundexperiments, ist sicher etwas irreführend. Das Versuchsdesign dieser Khanate-, Burning Witch-, Ike Yard-Leute ist weniger auf die Klangsublimierung ausgelegt, auf die sich bestenfalls Glitchprofessoren einen runter ... |

Abstract the words from Alan Dubin's howls and they become industrial textures, as harsh and electrical as a rotating saw blade on sheet metal. That's why the debut album from his Gnaw project feels so right -- the band complements Dubin's feverish screeches with clanking noise, swirling sound effec ... |

La stirpe è quella maledetta e il risultato non può che essere il migliore atteso da chi vive nell’incubo del suono che si trasforma in creatura portatrice di paralizzanti dolori psicologici e interminabili lacerazioni fisiche, risultato, mai ottenuto per difetto, di un sistema di equazioni dove mut ... |

God, what an awesome racket...
And I use "awesome" there predominantly in the sense of "impressive" or "astounding" than in the sense of "kick-ass," although Gnaw certainly kicked my ass, but more in the sense of "injured me" than "rocked me like a hurricane."
All semantic hair-splitting aside ... |

Det er multiinstrumentalisten Carter Thornton som styrer den soniske galskapen til Gnaw slik at det slik at bak det tilsynelatende kaoset er det struktur. Gnaw strekker sangformatet til de ytterste grenser, og er helt på grensen til det totalt syke og forvridde. Støyen til Gnaw tilføres også doom, n ... |

Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Have I ever been looking forward to getting my sweaty paws on this piece of aural ferocity! Who are Gnaw? Two words… Alan Dubin! Yes, the ex-Khanate voice mangler from Hell finally reappears with his own outfit – and promptly sets about fucking your ears and brain up ... |

I’m not very much into noise: I don’t come home after a hard day’s work, mix a gin tonic and think “well, I need something to relax, so let’s hear some Merzbow or Wolf Eyes or some such shit”, y’know? I LISTEN to noise from time to time and I ... |

Welcome to the world of nightmares, torment and noise rock !!!! From what I'm reading here the vocals are done by ex Khanate vocalist and you can feel the J. Plotkin feel even to the music as this reminds me a lot of Plotkin last mind assault KHLYST maybe sisters in the same sonic battle cry..... If ... |

This is where the end begins and the old suffers a miserable death. Gnaw is a new born beast by well known minions that have been lurking around for a long, long time and who know well their tasks. Fans of heavy and low frequencies are in for a great surprise and a harsh lesson in sound.

There’s the sound of rage provoked by someone pissing in your coffee and then there’s GNAW. Apparently someone had kvelta fish and horseradish first and then pissed in these guys’ coffeepot (trust me, your whiz stinks something terrible if you eat that) because their distorted brand of metal, coldw ... |

For those who haven’t heard yet, Alan Dubin (of Khanate and OLD fame) formed a new project not that long ago. Entitled Gnaw, the goal of this new band appears to have been to combine elements of noise and industrial metal together in ways that sound entirely unique. The project’s first offering, a f ... |

GNAW – This Face (Conspiracy) - This is hardboiled, this is a seriously difficult chew, here to gnaw at your pretty little head indeed. Animalistic sonic torture and churning and machine manipulation way beyond the boundaries of mere ‘industrial’ life. Sound and boundary pushing music from a place w ... |

Dankzij übernoiser Stephen O’ Mally in combinatie met James Plotkin en Alan Dubins, werd de wereld rond het millennium vergast op de gitzwarte kruisbestuiving minimal-black-ambient-doom-noise-metal van Khanate. Deze combi verdiende zelfs daarvoor zijn sporen in het toenmalig toch wel verbluffende am ... |

Formed in 2006 by ex-Khanate vocalist Alan Dubin, Gnaw are a terrifying experimental rock sextet whose blackened vision has enough dark energy to blot out the sun.
With guitarist and field recordist Carter Thornton, electronic sound designers Jun Mizumachi and Brian Beatrice, and ex-Burning Witch/T ... |

Hum, looks like I’ve still got to come across the first release on this label which would even slightly disappoint me! Indeed, over the years the label have become experts at Experimental music, and I’m quite convinced that none of the releases which have been my greatest pleasure to review over the ... |

Those lamenting the demise of Burning Witch and Khanate and desperate for something equally abrasive to fill the void should buy this now. It bears very little resemblance to the aforementioned groups but does feature members from both and more than matches the standards they set for demented avant- ... |

Industrial-damaged dirge-metalers Gnaw promise to be "as ugly as sound can get" and they inarguably deliver on that. This Face is a visceral, bilious, crawling, throat-shredding mangled nightmare of an album. Their singular devotion to being unpleasant deserves respect and admiration.

Featuring members of Khanate, Atavist, Yard and Burning Witch, expectations run feverishly high for this one, and within the first minute, this slab of molten hatred pays off in spades. The industrial soundscapes, extreme high and low frequencies, tribal percussion and the expert work of sound desig ... |

GNAW's debut album This Face opens with a maelstrom of noise and the intensity rarely lets up for a moment thereafter. Piercing the thrashing firestorm generated by the instrumentalists—drummer Jamie Sykes (ex-Burning Witch, Thorr's Hammer, Atavist), guitarist and bassist Carter Thornton (Enos Slaug ... |

Chi ha sempre seguito il percorso artistico di Alan Dubin, dai seminali OLD (se non fanno già parte del vostro bagaglio ponete immediato rimedio alla lacuna) ai Khanate, non si stupirà della forza visionaria degli Gnaw, nuovo progetto cui partecipano musicisti quali Jun Mizumachi (Ike Yard), Jamie S ... |

Premier acte : "Haven volt". On n'a même pas le temps de se poser confortablement que c'est à un véritable mur de son(s) qu'on se heurte, ce alors même que le premier titre de This face n'a pas encore réellement débuté. Un déluge ambient industriel, une ambiance malsaine, oppressante, et des hurleme ... |

Gnaw’s debut, This Face, sounds like a computer hate-fucking a rock band.

It’s 1:52 in the morning as I start this. I thought after listening to it this afternoon the best time to review Gnaw’s This Face (Conspiracy) would be late at night, when everyone else had long since gone to bed and the light coming out of the three windows in this room was the only light in the w ... |

Gnaw is het monsterverbond van Alan Dubin, James Sykes, Carter Thornton, Jun Mizumachi en geluidskunstenaar Brian Beatrice en dat monstergedeelte mag letterlijk worden genomen. Gnaw is de incarnatie van monstruositeit in de puurste betekenis van het woord. Gezamenlijk kan dit kwintet een verleden vo ... |

With an energetic blast you are tugged into a power electronic mayhem full of amplifier bliss, an avalanche of black ash and the shrieking blackish vocals of Alan Dubin. Gnaw starts with a furious cacophonous instrumentation tugging you into a hellish powerful vertigo of evil and disturbed emotions. ... |
