Gnods latest offering is as droney and repetitive as you like. It has a motorik rhythm section which is quite pummeling actually, and the sonics are kind of kept together by it. It's quite brooding and has a definite krautrock feel...krautrock played by drugged up hippies. The song kicks off with a drone that comes straight from Satan's bottom, then the rhythm section creeps in and pummels your ears and mind into submission. They seem to have also added an extra layer of noise and skronk, courtesy of some sax (I think it's a sax..it could be a load of mice being squeezed at irregular moments then filtered through a Dutchman...that sounds like something that Wire readers would throw their cats in front of cars to listen to...cats being thrown in front of cars....then manipulated and run through Burt Reynolds's 'tache...that also sounds like something Wire readers would like...enough with the Wire digs already!!). It seems to be a bit more focused then their previous offerings. Their songs are sonic workouts that you can almost Gnod your head to. The flip side is also like staring into a sonic abyss. It also has locked grooves and shouty vocals that have been manipulated into oblivion. It sounds harsh and makes you want to grab the nearest bong and inhale massive amounts of Gnod weed. It's a challenging experiment in sonic deconstruction...or summat. It's Gnod for everyone but it works.

Brothers and sisters, to prepare ourselves to celebrate the sacred mysteries of Gnod, let us call to mind our sins.We believe in one Gnod, Gnod Almighty makers of heavy black slab on Earth.We believe in one Chord, seamless, sublime, the one and only sound of Gnod, eternally begotten of the marcher. Gnod from Gnod, light from light, true Gnod from true Gnod, begotten, not made, of one Being with the maker; through Them all riffs were played. For us and for our salvation They came down from Manchester; by the power of Tony’s (un)limit, They came to reincarnate and made the last disco’d beat. Tony’s First Communion, if you choose to be blessed by this record, is the first reception of the Sacrament on vinyl; this long-standing favourite has been celebrated over centuries of incarnations and Rocket are proud to release its rite of passage. The ceremony of this Communion lasts 20 minutes and 2 seconds. On the second side Gnod rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; They ascended into noise upon this Earth and were seated at the right hand of the Vatican. This 13 minute holy doctrine sees Gnod take away the sins of the world; it cleanses the incense (the in-sense-out-sense) from the all seeing (third) eye, like a Faustian Butthole Surfers sharing bread with Shit & Shine and John Carpenter turning water into wine. Some ceremonies owe their institution to purely physical reason; for Gnod it’s the mystical reason that They represent. INGNODWETRUST is founded on honour and soul, They for one are finally washing their hands with downcast eyes.
