Detestation (Reissue)

by GISM

supported by

coagulacascadia The sounds of this album bring back mildewy memories of drinking laker lager in my friends basement when we were 16 and listening to this. Getting stumble bum drunk and yelling SHOOT TO KILL in our grimey punk fatigues. A simpler time. Favorite track: Shoot To Kill (Bonus Track).

Cat Pünk Definate classic! Classic hardcore punk with ahead-of-its-time genre splices with metal, glam rock, and experimental. Band does a lovely job staying true to the genre while letting their outside influences show through! This, coupled with the band's infamous reputation, make it a hard listen for some, but fans of hardcore and crossover thrash should definitely give this one a listen! Favorite track: Endless Blockades For The Pussyfooter.

Fuzz-Kristiansen Clearly one of the best albums ever released. This is as real as it gets. Far beyond good and evil. Among my top five ever. For those about to destroy I salute you!

about

Relapse Records is proud to announce the first ever fully-authorized reissue of GISM's landmark debut LP, Detestation. Originally released in 1984, Detestation has since remained one of the most innovative, bewildering, extreme, and wildly influential albums in the punk and metal canon. To say Destestation was ahead of its time would be a huge understatement--it incorporated elements from so many genres: hardcore, punk, heavy metal, glam, thrash, industrial, and experimental. It was almost as if listeners didn’t know what to do with the record’s music but gravitated to it nonetheless as they recognized it was something unique and special.

Maximum Rocknroll’s Jay Bentley’s 1984 review of Detestation made that sentiment clear, describing the record as "Churning Metal- punk, or perhaps even speed-metal, depending on where you draw the distinction. GISM are undoubtebly a heavy metal band who've been heavily influenced by hardcore, but the music is so intense and the vocals so ominous that even Im in a state of shock. These guys make VENOM sound like the KNACK, especially on side 1."
