the galvin-wilhelm-miller quartet


Mind-boggling schizoid avant grind / powerviolence from this bizarre trio, errrr, "quartet", from Buffalo, NY, featuring members of Avulsion and Parade of the Lifeless.

Blazing complex grindcore jams stretched to upwards of 9 minutes at a time mixing the most bulldozing blasts of double bass, ferocious, IRATE vocals that shift suddenly into Fantomas-esque throat weirdness, piccolo snare and tornado guitar runs with church choirs, devestating breakdowns, middle eastern motifs, squealing sax, tribal percussion, swirling ambience, jazz structure, sampled vocals, keyboards, and more.

Their brand of complex, epic exploratory grindcore is really unlike anything previously released, effectively turning the genre over on itself with bizarre stream-of-consciousness, attention-deficit disordered amalgamations concocted in the Quartet's music library/laboratory.

It's like Brutal Truth and Discordance Axis reconfigured as some sort of mutant John Zorn / Naked City grindcore experiment, but more brutal than over-the-top avant garde - - from crucial blast
