Gnod - Hexen Valley (2022)

Gnod is one of the prominent bands of the strong British psych scene. Their new album Hexen Valley is an awesome sonic assault of bass driven droning/psych noise rock. Somewhere between Om, Unsane and Acid Mothers Temple. If I had the time to do it they would be featured on my "best of 2022" lists close to the top of both psych rock and noise rock sections, and overall list as well... A powerfull album. Can't recommend it too much.

JK Flesh vs Gnod (EP 2021)

JK Flesh is the name Justin Broadrick use for his techno releases, Gnod is a English psych/noise rock band. Last year they joined fores for a four track EP (called JK Flesh vs Gnod) where they both cover two tracks from the other. So we get two JK Flesh tracks being given a psych/kraut treatment and two Gnod traks being given an industrial treatment, resulting in something as good as what they do on their own, but different, making an interesting and enjoyable release.
