GHIDRAH - SELF-TITLED 7 INCH EP, 2005 GET REVENGE! RECORDS

GHIDRAH 

SELF-TITLED 7 INCH EP, 2005 

GET REVENGE! RECORDS GRR-003 


THERE ISN'T A LOT OF INFORMATION AVAILABLE ABOUT GHIDRAH, OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT THEY WERE FROM LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA.  THIS EP CAME OUT IN 2005.  IT WAS THE THIRD RELEASE ON GET REVENGE! RECORDS, THE LABEL OPERATED BY SEAN FROM LIFE CRISIS, DEATH CRISIS, THINK TWICE, AND CHRISTIAN CLUB.  GHIDRAH ALSO MADE AN APPEARANCE ON THE SICK OF TALK RECORDS 7 INCH COMPILATION EP UNSCENE EFFORT VOLUME 2½.  GHIDRAH CONSISTED OF CHRYSI AND JARED ON GUITARS AND DUELING LEAD VOCALS (A POWERFUL COMBO), DANNY ON BASS, AND DANIEL ON DRUMS.  DANIEL WAS ALSO IN MANY OTHER LAFAYETTE AREA BANDS INCLUDING KILLSWITCH, REASON OF INSANITY, SEX BOMB, THE POOTS, THE PALLBEARERS, FUGITIVE FAMILY, VIKINGS, FINAL ASSAULT, ONE COMMON VOICE, AND MORE.  THIS EP WAS RECORDED BY IVAN KLISANIN AT BOB'S RECORDS TO GO IN LAFAYETTE, AND WAS INCLUDED ON THE GET REVENGE! COMPILATION "RAW AGGRESSION" THAT FEATURED ALL OF THE LABEL'S VINYL RELEASES ON ONE CD (WHICH HAS MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED FROM THE ARCHIVES, UNFORTUNATELY).  OTHER THAN THE BAND'S SPARSE ENTRY ON DISCOGS.COM AND THE LIVE VIDEO INCLUDED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST, THE ONLY INFO THAT COULD BE FOUND ONLINE IS (INTERNET ARCHIVE LINK) THIS SHORT REVIEW FROM THE WINTER 2005-SPRING 2006 ISSUE OF PROFANE EXISTENCE MAGAZINE:

"GHIDRAH IS A THRASHING PUNK MONSTER FROM THE SWAMPY BAYOUS OF LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA, HELLBENT ON DESTROYING ALL GOVERNMENTS AND RIGHT-WING INSTITUTIONS.  THESE SOUTHERNERS PLAY FAST AND AGGRESSIVE PUNK WITH SOLID BREAKDOWNS, AND VERY POLITICAL LYRICS, SHOUTED OUT BY MALE AND FEMALE VOCALISTS.  THIS IS A BRUTAL RECORD, AND I WANT MORE. (RIGHTEOUS)."  

THAT ABOUT SUMS IT UP.  UNFORTUNATELY THERE WASN'T MORE MATERIAL RELEASED FROM THIS BAND, BECAUSE THIS IS ONE HELL OF A RECORD.
