 | | Description: | Erste, vollständig autorisierte, Neuauflage von G.I.S.M.s wegweisender Debüt-LP auf Vinyl und als CD die mit gleich 3 Bonus-Tracks aufwartet.
Detestation wurde ursprünglich 1984 veröffentlicht und ist seitdem eines der innovativsten, verwirrendsten, extremsten
und einflussreichsten Alben im Punk- und Metal-Kanon. Zu sagen, dass Destestation seiner Zeit voraus war, wäre eine
groÃ?e Untertreibung - es enthielt Elemente aus so vielen Genres: Hardcore, Punk, Heavy Metal, Glam, Thrash,
Industrial und Experimental. Es war fast so, als ob die Hörer nicht wüssten, was sie mit der Musik der Platte anfangen
sollten, aber sie waren trotzdem begeistert, als sie erkannten, dass es etwas Einzigartiges und Besonderes war.
Jay Bentleys Rezension von Detestation aus dem Jahr 1984 von Maximum Rocknroll machte dieses Gefühl deutlich
und beschrieb die Platte als "Churning Metal-Punk oder vielleicht sogar als Speed-Metal, je nachdem, wo man die
Unterscheidung trifft. GISM sind zweifellos eine Heavy-Metal-Band, die stark beeinflusst von Hardcore war, aber die
Musik ist so intensiv und der Gesang so bedrohlich, dass selbst ich in einem Schockzustand bin. Diese Jungs lassen
VENOM wie THE KNACK klingen, besonders auf Seite 1." - Limited edition vinyl LP pressing includes CD. Relapse Records presents the first ever fully-authorized reissue of GISM's landmark debut LP, Detestation. Originally released in 1984, Detestation has since remained one of the most innovative, bewildering, extreme, and wildly influential albums in the punk and metal canon. To say Destestation was ahead of it's time would be a huge understatement - it incorporated elements from so many genres: hardcore, punk, heavy metal, glam, thrash, industrial, and experimental. It was almost as if listeners didn't know what to do with the record's music but gravitated to it nonetheless as they recognized it was something unique and special. Maximum Rocknroll's Jay Bentley's 1984 review of Detestation made that sentiment clear, describing the record as, "Churning metal-punk, or perhaps even speed-metal, depending on where you draw the distinction. GISM are undoubtebly a heavy metal band who've been heavily influenced by hardcore, but the music is so intense and the vocals so ominous that even I'm in a state of shock. These guys make Venom sound like the Knack, especially on side 1.""DETESTation" is a landmark LP by the legendary Japanese hardcore band G.I.S.M., reissued by Relapse Records. Originally emerging from the early 1980s underground, the album is known for its explosive mix of raw hardcore punk, metallic riffing and a dark, dystopian atmosphere that still sounds confrontational and avant-garde today. Dense, heavily distorted guitars collide with aggressive vocals and driving rhythms, creating a chaotic yet highly focused sound wall that helped establish G.I.S.M. as one of the most influential and enigmatic bands of the Japanese extreme music scene.
The LP edition emphasizes the album's abrasive, physical character: from the unrelenting pace of the songs to the stark, often unsettling mood that runs through the entire record, "DETESTation" captures the urgency and alienation of its era while remaining timelessly intense. This release is aimed at collectors of pioneering hardcore and metal, fans of Japanese underground culture, and listeners who appreciate boundary-pushing, confrontational music that refuses to be tamed.
G.I.S.M. are widely regarded as cult icons within hardcore and extreme music. Known for their uncompromising sound, confrontational aesthetics and scarce, often myth-shrouded appearances, they became a major reference point for later generations of crust, metal-punk and experimental bands. Their fusion of punk ferocity with metallic heaviness contributed significantly to the development of crossover sounds and has secured them a lasting legacy in the global underground.
Relapse Records is an independent label internationally respected for its dedication to heavy and experimental music. With a long history of working with influential metal, punk and noise artists, the label is known for high-quality pressings, carefully curated reissues and a consistent focus on artistic integrity. By reissuing "DETESTation" on LP, Relapse underscores its commitment to preserving important, hard-to-find milestones of extreme music and making them accessible to a new generation of listeners and collectors. | | | Manufacturer No.: |
