by Cherry Bombed on November 15, 2013. The first two words that come to mind while listening to Ironworks, the latest release from Phoenix, Arizona sound artist, GOG, is Apocalyptic ambiance. GOG, the one-man show also known as Michael Bjella,has been mixing up his own special dark brew of noisy doom for over a decade. And I’m happy to report that GOG’s groundbreaking contributions to the world of experimental noise metal continue to roll on.

This is what really made me enjoy this album, the fact that although it’s almost background music, once you’re drawn in there is no escape: It will upset you and there’s nothing you can do about it, so you might as well just get comfortable with your own despondency

Description from Utech Records: "I did not know then how much was ended. When I look back now from this high hill of my old age, I can still see the butchered women and children lying heaped and scattered all along the crooked gulch as plain as when I saw them with eyes still young. And I can see that something else died there in the bloody mud, and was buried in the blizzard. A people’s dream died there. It was a beautiful dream...”-Black ElkIronworks is both literally and figuratively a monolith of unrestrained power. Rapid arpeggios and slow flowing magma clash while lugubrious piano weaves depressive chords. Lurching, overdriven guitar grinds and scrapes in a hollow abyss as tortured vocals rise from the depths. This is metal in the elemental sense, the album built upon a foundation of sound recordings from the Bjella family blacksmith shop. Ironworks is an epitaph for the death of the American dream, one brought on by ourselves, channeling emotions mournful and raging.Packaged in a heavy, embossed folder with insert.
