The ominous anti-design of Alan Dubin (Khanate, Old, O.L.D.), Carter Thornton (Enos Slaughter), Jun Mizumachi (Ike Yard), Brian Beatrice and Eric Neuser, GNAW will be expelling hymns from their recently unleashed Horrible Chamber full-length. A jolting, spiritually abrasive exercise in noise-scorched, audio torment for fans of Khanate, Gnaw Their Tongues, Locrian, and open-face surgery, on Horrible Chamber GNAW manufactures gnarly, nerve-wracking sound orgies where the cumulative sensations of dread, trauma, wrath and repugnance crash into a disturbingly cathartic state of ominous, audio disease. Horrible Chamber was recorded at Seizures Palace by Jason LaFarge (Swans, Akron/Family, Khanate, Angels Of Light), mixed by Brian Beatrice at audioEngine and mastered by James Plotkin (OLD, Scorn, Khanate, Khlyst etc), with additional elements recorded by Beatrice, Dubin, Thornton, and Mizumachi in various chambers.

Horrible Chamber is currently available via Seventh Rule Recordings. Order your copy today at THIS LOCATION.

“Part horrifying ambient-noise-terrorism and part doom-metal slash and burn…” – Noisey

“… a fascinating listen.” – Decibel

“Horrible Chamber is the only album I’ve been scared to listen to again… it is a stark, intimate, frenetic work of raw emotive power and sonic precision. Enter if you dare.” – Unhinged Music

“Few bands have managed to pull off such a seamless and triumphant splicing of doom metal, noise and industrial as GNAW have managed to do with this album, and in this extremely unique, surreal and particular world the band dwells in, Horrible Chamber represents hands down industrial doom’s finest hour of 2013.” – Cvlt Nation

“A psychosexual mood piece – sometimes a bleak doom metal dirge, sometimes bleary noise, sometimes 12 minutes of analog darkwave,…The Eyes Wide Shut piano drags it all the way to the dungeon.” – Spin

“…a hideous juggernaut or aural evil that is the musical equivalent to venom coursing through your veins.” – SputnikMusic
