Like a third generation tape dub, Greek quartet Go Filth Go are playing d-beating furious through a filter of Japanese imitation and amplification. Almost to the point where they're so ashamed of not actually being Japanese that they ape the graphic design, the attitude and the aesthetic, hide behind pseudonyms and bury all actual photographs of themselves. That's some proper otaku desudesudesu ^_^ shit right there, but it's a triumph of 21st Century globalisation and true democratisation of information that you can wake up in the morning and be whoever or whatever you want to be. More power to that.
Formed in 2008, the last year has been their most active with a clutch of heavily distorted, noisy-as-fuck releases, Disclose-style, starting with the 2010 'No Escape From Noise Distraction' tape and continuing into 2011 with two split 7”s so far - one with one-man Swedish d-clones Electric Funeral (one of the awesome Warvictims!) on Phobia Records that features some utterly menacing, near-tribal drumming in parts, and with another solo unit, Brazil's Besthöven.
