An essential reissue of the first two albums from this seminal instrumental Dutch band who ruled in the 90s. Relentless, heavy pounding instrumental rock, whose influence on other instrumental outfits like Pelican, Don Caballero, Russian Circles etc.. is painfully obvious. With their use of repetitive heavy rolling rhythms and bombastic execution (sans vocals) Gore pioneered a new style of music for the time. Gore's sound is a monolithic one, uncompromising and seemingly singular in its vision. Although the music is exclusively instrumental the first two albums all contain lyric sheets - ostensibly meant to add a "horrorshow" element to the music and make it all the more ominous and hardcore. One can certainly hear elements of Gore's aesthetic in other like-minded outfits from the 90s' like Melvins, Helmet, the Jesus Lizard, and Godflesh. For the first time ever these recordings have been painstakingly remastered and are now available again to amaze, overwhelm and bewilder! Each disc of this double-cd set contains the remastered album in all its glory PLUS unreleased bonus material from the same era as the album. This 2xcd set contains 43 songs in total! In the tradition of quality Southern Lord packaging these albums are packaged with a 32 page booklet that contains several never before seen photos plus meticulous liner notes from bassist: Rob Frey. With the popular resurgence of instrumental rock bands (Mono, Explosions In The Sky, Pelican etc..) its now time more than ever for this new generation to be taken back to school by their masters and true pioneers of this genre.
