And whilst this band has flourished via dauntless conviction, hive-mind magic and a fierce and uncompromising spirit, one ingredient has served as a crucial fuel for the fire – the monolithic singularity of the riff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis second chapter of Gnod’s sort-of-anniversary trilogy also originates in the same six day sessions as the first, at Hellfire Studios near Dublin with producer Spud Murphy (Lankum, Black Midi etc). Yet the focus this time is on the transcendental heaviness and repetition that the band have often used as a primary fulcrum of their approach. This volume captures the sound of strings flayed, throats shredded, skins punished by the organic chemistry of this formidably powerful band in a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe results are amongst the most fearsome and kinetic material that Gnod have summoned to date. As has often been the case for a band heavily driven by serendipity and intuition, the best plan is no plan at all. “We find quite regularly that spontaneity and the no thought approach works better than over analysis and detailed planning” clarifies the band's Chris Haslam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaximal yet minimal, claustrophobic yet expansive, free in approach yet mercilessly disciplined in their intensity – Gnod like every truly great band are a mass of contradictions. On \u003cem\u003eChronicles Of Gnowt Vol. 2\u003c\/em\u003e, this thunderous paradox has never sounded fiercer. To paraphrase Nietzsche: “Is man merely a mistake of Gnod's? Or Gnod merely a mistake of man?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMint green vinyl version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Witness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIce Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTravellers Return\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOld Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrangled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Rocket Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54504598798682,"sku":"LAUNCH437","price":25.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1481\/5374\/files\/gnod-chronicles-gnowt-vol-2.jpg?v=1785941371","url":"https:\/\/freebirdrecords.com\/products\/gnod-chronicles-gnowt-vol-2-coloured-vinyl","provider":"Freebird Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
