For those not familiar with G.G.F.H., a quick rundown: started in the mid-80s, released three albums (“”Eclipse””, “”Disease”” and “”Halloween””) and disbanded after the release of that last one in 1994. What they attempted was to mix one form of extreme music, the then popular punk/metal hybrid with the emerging electronics scene. The result is not exactly industrial, but in many cases more oriented towards what later became popular as techno and jungle. So, yes, these two house-forms can be found in a somewhat primitive form, blended with evil synthesized vocals and regular song structures. G.G.F.H., although being an underground band, did as much for the dance/melody-oriented metal-offsprings in later times (Marilyn Manson, Rammstein, Cradle Of Filth, Tool) as Godflesh did to the more noise/machine-oriented bands (Fear Factory, Ministry). On Very Beast Of… Vol 1 there is material from old releases as well as `refreshed` material. There are the usual songs – such as the splendid “”Room 213″” and “”DMDR”” -, there is the odd rap song (“”Hoe Or Die””) and plenty of instrumental electronic interludes (“”Acid””, “”Eclipse””). Since most of the material is remixed, this collectible is interesting for both the people that already own all the albums but also for newcomers who would like to check out what the fuzz was all about.
The Very Beast Of G.G.F.H. Vol. 1 is a compilation album by the industrial/horror techno band G.G.F.H.. This album is a CD only compilation of tracks from their back catalogue. The only track that is new is Bullet, which was recorded by DJ Ghost as a taster for an album that did not happen, as dealings with Peaceville Records fell through. A second volume was never made, although DJ Ghost himself has stated that he owns the master copy and it may yet see the light of day.
