• BLODSPRUT - SUMMER IS CANCELLED

BGDT 009 [CD-R, limited to 50 copies]
This is GRINDCORE in its purest form. With ‘Summer is Cancelled’ Anders Hanna (MoHa! / Ultralyd / Noxagt) and Patrick Petterson recorded a sonic statement of drastic metalic radicalism, paying tribute to the days of old school grind and mixing it up with some hysterical noise rock interludes. With just one guitar and two percussion kits they conjure complex rhythmic blasts, evil feedback tortures and interfuse them with demonic howls from the deepest pits of hell. Summer is definitely cancelled. Each Cdr comes with a different coverartwork. Get it fast. Only 50 copies were made.

• LANDING SWABS - JUICE OF PICTURES

BGDT 010 [CDR, limited to 50 copies]
Landing Swabs are Sebastian Hammerschmidt (check out his debut cd of pure laptop freakouts “Rats = Arts = Star” on BlackGapDeathTrap too) and Matthias Schwarz. Operating in the territory of noise rock and free jazz, these two dudes fool around with found objects, microphones, percussions and synthesizers this time. On “Juice of Pictures” Landing Swabs present two improvisations of precise and complex sound excursions. Amplified objects collide with crackling synths, fractured electronics get punctured by strange rhythmic interludes. Although everything was conceived on a purely analogue level, these recordings sound like coming straight from a harddisk. Landing Swabs are masters of sonic disguise. With the simplest tools they evoke concentrated sound distillations of pure abstract beauty.

If you are into the electronic side of MoHa! you´ll definitely love this release. 50 copies werde made. Be quick or be dead.

Imagine being locked in a dark garage, smelling the stench of fresh blood and hearing the muffled screams of other victims, waiting for their sure death.

After “Fog of Execution” (released on BlackGaps sublabel Gay Wizard), Glass Ceiling strike back with another full blast assault which will make your ears bleed and your bowels collapse. On “Blood Garage” the duo of Raphael Smarzoch (guitar, electronics) and Daniel Laig (guitar, vocals, electronics) evoke psychedelic thunderstorms out of the deepest basements of blood ridden Cologne. Everything sounds so wrong. Fucked up guitar feedbacks and mangled chords get swallowed by the buzz of misused equipment and mixer abuse into one of the darkest black holes ever. Expect Pure Cosmic Destruction !

“Rats=Arts=Star“ is the debut album of Cologne based computer musician Sebastian Hammerschmidt. His sonic excursions focus on the mathematics of electronic glitch sounds, which are interfused with melodic interludes, noisy breakdowns and strange rhythmic developments. Although Hammerschmidt’s compositions and improvisations show an interest in academic sound research, they never get into the rut of becoming to complicated or even dogmatic. His tracks always have a catchy side, sometimes they even sound like electronically deconstructed pop songs. However they still retain an otherwordly abstractness constituted by unusual harmonic structures, playful arrangements and weird digital textures.
“Rats=Arts=Star” should definitely appeal to people who like the works of Belgian soundcrafters Tuk and KöHN or even the scientific experiments of laptop wizard Florian Hecker.

“Got a couple of anonymous-looking white label CDRs from BlackGapDeathTrap Records, with a letter signed by its worthy proprietors Flo and Raphael; these young geniuses may represent a fairly new label as only six releases have been confirmed so far, with BGDT 007 on its way. Nonetheless both these white devils will repay some further attention with benefit of hearing aid turned up to max. Poochlatz’s Cold Turkey (BGDT 006) purports to have six ‘songs’, although in practice said disc seems to be a continual 27:32 track with no index points; wrapped in a striking cover of a stern monochrome photograph depicting an elaborate vaulted church roof, this one promises to be a real gem of evil, frowning, black-metal derived harsh ambient. A trio of insane Israeli loons using only guitar, bass and voice, the Poochsters have had a record (Victims of Self-Preservation) noted and praised by Jennifer Hor last ish, which may send curious listeners scuttling off to check it out … also in the DeathTrap envelope, their sizzling new compilation record which features a track from every one of their releases to date; strong stuff abounds from Gundis, Tugnut, Josh Lay, Altar of Flies, Kylie Minoise, and Kvllvllvllv. ‘Let us know if you are interested in any releases,’ comes the teasing line in their letter. I may just follow up on this offer, based on the radical blasts of old-school shriekery and nattering noise that appear to lurk within their barrels.“

take a look at the release notes from our french distributer MECHANOISE LABS:

Poochlatz - Cold Turkey
(BlackGapDeathTrap Records)
Poochlatz is the doom-noise-drone project of Israeli noiseniks Rani Zager (Vultures, Lietterschpich) and Maor Appelbaum (Screening, Vultures, and a number of releases under his own name). With one full-length CD under their belts, they’re back with this live recording of their more doom metal influenced material. This is definitely a nice companion release to the Lietterschpich CD, as it share some of the same rough howled vocals but with a more sedated doom influence added to the whole thing.

Altar of Flies - Dead Air, Broken Wings
(BlackGapDeathTrap Records)
CD-R re-release of the tape with an extra track. Altar of Flies is Mattias Gustafsson from Sweden, and this project is one of those great surprises you run into and feel like sharing with whoever is actually reading this. This is tense, sputtering electronic sludge with industrial overtones done right, crafted into an organic beast with a life of its own. Limited to 50 copies, and we’ve only got two to spare.

To order POOCHLATZ ‘Cold Turkey’ drop us a line (order[at]blackgapdeathtrap.com) or get in touch with our new distributors in Italy, France, Japan or Germany. Check out the Distribution list!

‘Cold Turkey’ will be released in a few days. Check out ‘download music‘ for an excerpt of this amazing piece of contemporary metal avantgardism!

‘Since Sunn O))) started to combine the lore of drone music with the slow-motion butchery of Doom Metal, more and more bands began to experiment with the language of extreme metal, creating a blend of different styles and tones’

After releasing JUNKY EROTICA by KYLIE MINOISE in January the next CD-R is coming soon!
We are very honoured to announce that POOCHLATZ from Jerusalem will release their newest tunes COLD TURKEY on BlackGapDeathTrap Records! Check out download section for mp3s in a few days! Listen to POOCHLATZ on myspace.
The extreme styles of Heavy Metal are conquering the world of experimental musics. At least that’s what we think (and propably millions of other people too…). Since Sunn O))) started to combine the lore of drone music with the slow-motion butchery of Doom Metal, more and more bands began to experiment with the language of extreme metal, creating a blend of different styles and tones. It seems that nearly all of them have one thing in common: The love for Noise. Maybe Poochlatz from Israel always had a connection with the darker side of musical expression but their debut record “Victims of self Preservation” didn’t inhale the poisoned air of Black-, Death- or Doom-Metal yet but explored the miraculous detonations of cracked analogue effect units, static-fuzz storms and inhuman screams wrapped into ribbons of barbed wire.With their newest work “Cold Turkey” - which is going to be released on BlackGapDeathTrap soon - things have changed dramatically. Poochlatz must have been inspired by the demented rituals of bands like Abruptum, Wold or Emit. Forging their musickal vocabulary into the lament of reverb soaked guitar attacks, thunderous electronic shrieks and demonic vokills, Poochlatz create an unexpected milestone of contemporary metal avantgardism. ::::PURE KVLT::::’
