"all forms of direct action are practiced by nonhuman animals, albeit without communicative elements. nonhuman animals routinely and deliberately destroy walls and other structures erected by people; "steal" themselves and other animals away from human possession and refuse to accede to human authority, hegemony, or boundaries. birds, insects and other animals often do organize themselves to fulfill collective purposes by nonhierarchical and non-coercive means and thus offer models of alternatives to governments." (pattrice jones: natural anarchism in action)
on their third full length album this icelandic project continues its ideological struggle against men's arrogance and pretend predominance. wrathful but never nihilistic, gjölls lyrics appeal to those who still keep an open mind, a large amount of hope, and the ability to separate right from wrong.
musically, jóhann eiríksson and sigurður harðarson have expanded their previous album’s harsh eruptions into powerful ambient noise hymns that are combined with a kind of post-krautrock feel. sum of transformations contrasts analogue guitar strokes with the digital iciness of dark and disturbing soundscapes.
an outstanding release, both calming and intensely enraged at the same time. not to be taken lightly. http://www.ant-zen.com
New online compilation "NONPOP 3" A new track by Gjöll. myspace.com/nonpop
Gjöll. Animal ep
Mp3. Free
New material of Icelandic project Gjöll brings three
tracks of droning and atmospheric ambiance.
These dark pieces were created on the basis of guitarish drones, deep and monumetal reverbs and pulsating delays slowly embracing into mind bending structures. It..s cold as Iceland itself. Play it in the dark. http://77industry.com/

on their second release, jóhann eiríksson and sigurður harðarson follow the ideological path that they began with 'way through zero'. instead of one conceptual work divided in parts, gjöll presents six tracks. the lyrics printed in the cd booklet show this project's empathy for the individual who is able to detach from political, religious or social necessities. even without listening to gjöll's music you can already feel the anger, the challenges of society's excrescences, and the frustration about the way things are (and about the way things should be).
as on the previous album, gjöll transcribe their musical statements into a process in which the listener is forced to open up. pulsing drones, mighty synth layers, heavy sequencer patterns and disembowelling sub-basses combine with harðarson's ear-piercing vocals and the result is an unforgettable listening experience. this project's music is hard to compare, but both musicians are able to merge the intensity of grindcore or doom metal with industrial's sonic variety.
an outstanding release and recommended to the open minded listener.

ginnungagap
For this first split, we asked
PURE, EL GUSANO ROJO and GJÖLL
to answer this first order.
'GINNUNGAGAP'
Once, there were nothing,
No sand, no sea,
no iced wave.
Earth does not exist,
neither the high sky,
Gaping was the abyss,
And herbs point.
The Vikings 'The creation'
Theme is Bass, vibration wending its way through the extremely tight membrane of our eardrum, getting vibrating, slowly oscilating, continuing its travel in the rambling developement of the brain.
'GINNUNGAGAP' Text continuation
That is the image of the original nothingness.
At the very beginning, there were nothing but an unfathomable abyss, the Ginnungagap 'gaping abyss'.
At the north of this hole, a world of shadow, Niflheimr 'dark world'.
In the centre of it, is a source called Hvergelmir 'noisy cauldron' where from, the original rivers come out, the élivagar, with poisoned water.
South, a world of fire and flames, Muspellsheimr 'world of destruction by the fire' Away from their sources, the élivagar froze and the steam coming from. the poison was getting the inside of the Ginnungagap.
At the same time, the burnning air, full of sparks and little flames came from the Muspellsheimr, spread inside, too. And the frost ended to melt.
