Gulaggh/Vorkuta/Coma Selection/2012 CD Review


  Gulaggh  are  a  band  from  the Netherlands  that  plays  a  harsh  form  of  noise  with  black  metal  influences  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2012  album  "Vorkuta"  which  was  released  by  Coma  Selection.

  Violins  and  trumpets  bring  a  very  avant  garde  sound  to the  music  while  also  capturing  the  brutality  of  harsh  noise  mixing  in  some  black  metal  elements  as  well  as  some  percussion,  vocals  are  all  samples  taking  from  Soviet  camps  during  the  second  world  war.

  Song  themes  cover  torture  and  suffering,  while  the  production  has  a  very  dark, raw  and  primitive  sound  to  it  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording  with  the  only  song  on  this  album  being  over  45  minutes  long.

  In  my  opinion  Gulaggh  are  a  very  great  sounding  classical/noise  hybrid  with  some  black  metal  influences  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of t his  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
