About the Release & Vibe
🌀 Hypnotic, cyclical drone intensity. Massive distorted riffs, relentless polyrhythmic tribal grooves, and analog space exploration.
Manchester psych collective Gnod return with the second volume of their 20th-anniversary trilogy on Rocket Recordings. Tracked live at Hellfire Studios outside Dublin with producer Spud Murphy (Lankum, Black Midi), The Chronicles of Gnowt (Vol 2) documents the ensemble operating at their peak kinetic synergy. Moving between droning, slow-burn tension in "The Witness" and the colossal, 12-minute motorik doom trance of "Strangled," the record rejects clean polish in favor of raw amp warmth, room spill, and pure transcendental heavy repetition.
The Vibe: Crucial listening for disciples of Swans, Hawkwind, Faust, and visceral subterranean noise-rock. Available in Hi-Res 24-bit studio fidelity and standard digital crates on MusicVibez.
Captured live off the floor by producer Spud Murphy, Gnod deliver another crushing exercise in cyclical volume and tribal repetition. The spatial depth on long-form cuts like 'Strangled' and 'The Witness' highlights exceptional studio acoustics, giving the monolithic bass weight and overdriven fuzz plenty of headroom in Hi-Res 24-bit.
