In a climate of mediocrity and unchallenging music, film and television, Hindu Pez is here to challenge the very fabric of local and national music. Combining elements of industrial, powernoise, classical and digital hardcore, Hindu Pez ranges from abrasive rhythmic noise to spacy, swirling ambience, hard, fast, bludgeoning breakbeats, and blends of all of the above.
Beginning in mid ’03, Gabriel Perry’s Hindu Pez was born out of a state of boredom and feeling of being burned out from playing guitar in the machine-rock band Krieg Der Kinder.
Since it’s inception, Hindu Pez has released 4 full length records : “Collective Unconscious”, “Stopping the Ministry of Peace”, a self-titled record and “Porno Music to Kill to”.
There are 3 EP’s, “the ‘ANTI’ EP”, “Collaborations and Remixes”, and the newest release “abUSE”, released 11-13-09.
Hindu Pez has remixed hERETICS iN tHE lAB, Fans of Jimmy Century, and Synthetic Nightmare. There is a full remix disc titled “the Chrono Cross Remix Project”, remixing 5 tracks from the game’s official soundtrack. There are unauthorized remixes of Throbbing Gristle, Ludwig Van Beethoven, soundtrack works from two Zelda video games, and the Dragon Warrior video game.
There are also three vs. tracks, featuring The Fever, [chronokosis] and Dj RedSkeye.
As of 2005, all Hindu Pez music has been made available for free download as 320kps mp3’s. Gabriel is a firm believer in the digital medium, and has no future plans for physical disc releases at this time, other than extremely limited editions.
Gabriel also had a 1 year stint as guitar player for hERETICS iN tHE lAB from ’06 to ’07
Hindu Pez has been honored to share the stage with 6 foot One, Ambition by Day, Amphetamine Virus, Angel 99, Bajskorv, Bent 9, Collapse Into Reason, Color Blind, Creature Feature, Deviljoy, Die Maschine, Diseased Mindframe, Early Departure, Grayland, Hanzel Und Gretyl, Heaven Falls Hard, hERETICS iN tHE lAB, Heroes 4 Hire, In Tenebris, In The Age of Terminal Static, Kid Camaro, k1LLing the Cure, Khate, Morgueasm, Mpiredwn, Myotis, Order of March, Project : Wiretapper, Sadistic Smile, Shattered Hand, Somnium 7, Synthetic Nightmare, Syphilis Sauna, Tainted Oath, Teamblok, The Fishnet Mafia Cabaret, The Minus Men, The Missing, The Real Chaos, The Remedy, and White Chips.

Hindu Pez : collective unconscious. The first release by Hindu Pez, long before the "Stopping the Ministry of Peace" disc was written. Wierd electronica, fuzzy kick drums, abstract synth lines and samples samples samples make this disc up. Roughly 20 copies were made in all. A true rarity!
This album will be made available for free download soon. Check back.
Hindu Pez : Stopping the Ministry of Peace. The real first album by Hindu Pez. The beginning of low, distorted breaks, deep distorted 909 kick drums, political samples and more! Definition : the best.
Hindu Pez : the 'ANTI' EP. Features "anti EMO anthem". A raunchy, pissed off quick disc with hidden goodies and a lot of beats -n- noise. Created controversy upon its release!
Hindu Pez : Live in Charlottesville. Featuring the first live performance by Hindu Pez in Charlottesville, Virginia, this short but sweet (the entire disc clocks in at a little over 26 minutes) gig is a swift kick to the teeth, neck and ribcage.
Hindu Pez : The Chrono Cross Remix Project. A fan disc remixing 5 tracks from the Chrono Cross video game soundtrack. Wierd, spacy music that is hard to describe or pigeon-hole. Contains swirling synths, heavy beats, romantic violins, backwards bits -n- bolts, and more! A very different disc.
In the spirit of k@t's ancestors, I did two versions of a Scottish standard, "Scotland the Brave". It's got my own twisted mark on it, and I'm sure you'll dig it.
A good personal friend of mine, Myke, has a very, very cool electronic music project called Chronokosis.
After a night of madness, debauchery and general chaos, we managed to crawl our way through the studio to make a track called DEEPnDIRTY. Check it out.
A few years ago, Hindu Pez appeared on a Chemlab Tribute album, titled "Songs from the Hydrogenbar - A Tribute to Chemlab". I've provided Hindu Pez's cover of "exile on mainline" here for your pleasure.
In the summer of 2008, I had the distinct pleasure of remixing "Shy Violet" by Fans of Jimmy Century, with the shared intent of FOJC and I to put the remixes as b-sides on what would be the single for the track. Long story short, the band and I were extremely pleased with the mixes, but the powers that be said no, and they fell by the wayside.
Finally, they are made available here, and will be made available soon on the official Fans of Jimmy Century website.
Dig it.
Coming soon : Dj Who? - Premixes, Volume 1. An experiment using Dj Software, featuring many dancefloor bombshells from the old Dj'ing days, as well as some other wierd, stompy tunes.

The new full-length album from Arms and Sleepers is available now!

I have never really worked with anyone other then The Mass of Silence so I wouldn't really know how to but I would love that. Your way to talented for my music. : )
No you haven't,and I am looking forward to it. Oh, and congrats on beating me to the west coast,but I have good news, not only is my family deciding to move west sooner or later but I have got my MMD card finally coming so I can finally go to sea! Yeah!!! FUCK VIRGINIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for the kind comment. I really liked your style. Would love to move but I have no talent or future. March of the Destroyers was incredible. Such nice hard house sounding drums with that classical movie sound. That sequencing on I've Had Enough was incredible. That drum beat was so grimy and harsh. I like that synth. Sounded twisted. Liked that drum beat in the Grudge. Like industrial hard house. Keep up the awesome work and keep in touch, J
