This obscure duo from Yorkshire, England was spearheaded by George Proctor (White Medal/Mutant Ape), experimenting with the raw stuff of primitive black metal and dragging it into a bizarre realm of industrial clamor and extreme low-fidelity filth that would soon morph into his current black metal band White Medal. Released in 2010, this tape was the only thing that Gammel Sed ever put out, and if you've heard other tapes from Legion Blotan, then you'll probably know that this is extremely raw and low-fi, the four-track recording bathed in hiss, the music recorded live to tape and probably created under the influence of unnamed hallucinogens. In other words, this isn't pretty. Proctor and his partner Jon Nordstrum bang through six "songs" of incredibly murky black metal buried beneath a heavy blanket of noise and hiss and static, but instead of the usual blasting or thrashing drums, the percussion sounds like someone is pounding lead pipes on oil barrels somewhere in the background, so you get this weird effect of hearing an especially crude black metal demo combined with weird clanking metal-on-metal percussion that's somewhat reminiscent of Einst�rzende Neubauten or early Test Dept. Much of the music on this demo resembles a damaged Burzumic black metal outfit with junkyard percussion, but the riffs and mournful minor key melodies are actually really well written and sound thoroughly evil in spite of the crudity of the whole affair. They add some simple, ghostly keyboard lines to a couple of the songs, and the vocals are the expected guttural exhalations and hateful venom delivered in a nasty, echoing rasp, but even these sound pretty fucking weird underneath all of the murkiness and effects. Everything sounds so distant and washed out, it's actually a rather psychedelic listening experience if you are able to tolerate (or better yet, appreciate) Gammel Sed's filthy recording quality and psychotic performance. The tape comes in a black and white cover, and is limited to three hundred copies.
