Sounds Like
Sort of like aggresive, guitar driven extreme metal with an intellectual/psychedelic twist. Or maybe not....check it out and decide for yourself.
Gigan was formed in early 2006 by left-handed lead guitarist Eric Hersemann. Having moved on from Diabolic(Century Media Records) and no longer jamming with Hate Eternal(Metal Blade Records), Eric made the decision to create a whole new musical entity...Growing tired of standard extreme metal cliches, he constructed a vehicle with which to properly express his and his bandmates imaginations: GIGAN.
GIGAN currently consists of Eric Hersemann(lead guitar/electric bass/abstract sounds/lyrics/concepts) Randy Piro(All vocals/rhythm guitars/abstract sounds/concepts) and Danny Ryan(Drums/percussion/otherworldly hyperactivity). The Gigan "musical experience" consists not only of agressive-intelligent speed, cosmic soundscapes and abstract technicality, but also a visual feast as well. Magick influenced psychedelia is undoubtably a lyrical focus in addition to songs inspired by misanthropy and the supernatural. GIGAN is a band that will always be dedicated to imagination and creative expression...The evolution of Gigan will certainly be a legend in the making.....and now that a multi-album, worldwide deal has been signed with Napalm Records, anything is possible...
I d get your album "order of the false eye" wow....said I This can be dangerous to play with this kind of stuff... I snt it lovecraft tell that you should never cast or bring again to life an entity that you cannot control and bring ot an end....otherway you might not escape from this entity control and get yourself ended by this same entity ... lol What an amazing musical "essai" well it might in fact be called somehow a "tour de force" .... just amazing ! I love it much!!!
