Artist description Songs that hover in the non-existent, nebulous, middle ground between power violence, sludge, noise, and Captain Beefheart. As aggressive and heavy as humanly possible, yet still completely unpredictable. Anyone who ever wanted to experiment with drugs without actually taking them need look no further. Hardcore fans will worship it. Fans of the absurd will revere it. All others will fear it.

Press Reviews "Gasp is often mentioned in the same breath as other L.A. underground heavy-hitters, but they've definitely carved their own niche in the ever-mutating world of hardcore." - WARP "I've never heard anything quite like it and certainly nothing even close to it that is so effective and powerful. The evolutionary jump this band has made is unprecedented in power violence. This CD will undoubtedly be looked back on as a seminal recording in extreme music." - CRASS MENAGERIE "The ultimate grind / free jazz / ethereal record of the decade. The music goes from intense attacks of pure power violence to moments of free jazz / off the wall musicianship, almost reaching the point of being instrumental landscaping music. Gasp went way out on this debut full length trying to give just a bit more to the average listener and they've accomplished that greatly. Cover concept / booklet = 10. Music = 10." - DOGPRINT "This is a lot different than their older stuff and in my opinion a lot better. It's good to see more bands straying away from the formula/genre based song writing that is becoming too common with most bands today." - STATUS
