DEVILMAN
Shaping new terrain for noise bass music, DEVILMAN comprises three individuals harvested by a secret underground organization fronted by the mysterious Mr D. Fuzzed out sound-system bass (DJ Scotch Egg) rides ferocious drum programming and dubwise from Dokkebi Q’s Gorgonn. Distill this through the psych-noise freak vocal of Bo Ningen’s Taigen Kawabe and you have a sound that is hard to ignore: head nodding yet abrasive; infectious and expansive; noise-inflected live- dub destruction. Living up to their namesake, the legendary Japanese comic/animation, this is the sound track of a world being turned inside out.
WALTER GROSS
Master of deconstruction and reappropriation, Walter Gross“ no-rules approach to freak-noise
experimentation has led to collaborations with artists such as K-the-I???, Skrapez (Tenshun &
Psychopop), Anticon’s own Pedestrian (Anticon) and Sole (Anticon co-founder, Fake Four Inc).
Nowadays, oozing from the cracks of his claustrophobic sound lab, Walter Gross bleeds percussive mayhem and grungy vocals; his constant reinvention informed by a chequered history of debilitating aural impairment, cinemania, and relentless ambition. Gross presents a slice of Baltimore“s psych scene through a mosaic of work that is systematically re-constructed, broken down and reassembled with an affronting intensity that will bend your ears and your mind.
