WE ARE BACK!!!!

We are finally back!
This time it's true...
During the last weeks we have restarted our rehearsal room in Firenze with new equipment.
Some new songs are already on the run and are amazing. our new drummer (Wall of death) is glorious and grinds like no one else. We are trying to mix all our influences in this new amazing identity with grind drumming and new wave bass and guitars with the gothic attitude we always had.
You can expect a new photoshoot and new songs during the first months of 2009.
Finally we are back!!!

Worm: Guitar and Vocals
Kafai: Guitar and Vocals
Monster: bass and vocals

GF93 ARE BACK...
Hello guys, out there. After a long time I am back in the admin area to post a fucking new. Yes it's true we had difficoult times since our ideas, imputs were nearly dead. The band itself was nearly dead.
After 10 years without keeping a day for us we were tired. The record company ended its activity letting us down without any support while the album was distributed by Century Media. They've wasted the luck of having Kurt Ballou behind the mixing desk. But fuck, WE ARE STILL ALIVE, and our COMEBACK is near. We'll write the most fucking sick album ever written by a fucking sick band...We will cooperate with some of the most amazing artists in the underground and we'll create something shocking as we are 30 years old and we don't dream success, girls, big cars...We don't give a shit, we come from the ashes of the Black Metal underground, we are still here, still alive.
We'll be back and we will disfigure our style, we will devastate our hands on the gear. Fuck you, "Face Deformed By Karma" is coming. GF93

Chain DLK review.
When I was still living in that thief-ridden country that Italy is, I hated the lack of bands and events playing electronic music, which is pretty much the main reason why I created D.L.K., but most recently, I'll admit, I've been getting a lot of buzz from the three-colored boot about new bands and even some live events... With new labels and bands popping out for hopefully more than just a few releases and with an off-set of almost a decade (I guess I was a little ahead of my time....) I finally get to review some music from there that doesn't sound like shitty pop-music clones or bad imitations of the german ebm bands from 20 years ago... This is not to say that GF93 and their new label Mechanism records falls into this category. GF93 has been around since 1996 and Mechanism I believe started around the same time. "The Bloody Bastard Remixes" is a collection of fourteen remixes of tracks that were originally released on their last record "OSR" in 2004 and on their previous third record "Convulse All Star" (2002). You are in for a treat made of saturation and distortion, where frantically cut-up and re-pasted sound bits deconstruct what once was and now re-is all over again. As it is true for the entire discography of GF93, powerful and scratchy guitar riffs play a role of foremost importance to convey the message and produce the sound. Mashed up by remixers from all over the world (where was I when the memo went out?), after one year of file-sharing based networking, this important band finds a way back into our playback systems, and even if it does so through an excercise of technicism, it does so with brutal bastardy and raw nerve, and with all the quality that their releases have accustomed us to. If you know the italian music scene a little, you'll notice big similarities with bands such as R.S.U. (Rifiuti Solidi Urbani), Deflore or Pankow, but if you don't know any of those groups, think of GF93 as the type of sound you'd appreciate if you were into Fear Factory, Flugschaedel, Pitchshifter, Cat Rapes Dog and bands like that: you will most certainly get some excitment ouf GF93!

Venice, Italy... This country is known for its impressive and undeniable, beautiful landscape. However, there is another phenomenon occuring in this country. Meet GF93. Many have thought that Italy had its diversity in music. They were correct, indeed. Metal music would enter this category perfectly. GF93 are a mixture of industrial-influenced metal, "radio-friendly" and even experimental rock, and heart-breaking, brutal screams. Try to imagine Chad Gray, of the band Mudvayne, being the frontman of the Stone Temple Pilots or Nine Inch Nails for only one album recording. Carlo Belotti's lyricism is amazing in every word possible. "OSR" was produced by none other than Kurt Ballou of the metalcore band, Converge and by producer Martin Barbour. You can imagine the impressive result from GF93's musicianship. In addition, the guitar riffs are played amazingly well. Belotti's voice, as I mentioned earlier, reveals pummeling, merciful screams. However, he has a more calm-paced and melodic voice as well. This band could have a bright future in the metal music industry in my opinion. It is not exactly metalcore. However, this band shows us a new vision of metal music today.

Note : 9/10

Suggestion tracks : Enter The Cult, 25 Times Fire Devastates.

GF93 Bloody Bastard Remixes - Out Now !

Most wanted GF93 Remix album "The Bloody Bastard Remixes" is Out Now !

We hunted for the most bastard and underground electronic remixers on the planet and asked them to share their distorted visions to deconstruct GF93 in millions of bits and re-assemble all with unconventional algorithms.

A project which took almost 1 year and half before be completed, with files and tracks bounced and transfered from a continent to another via file sharing networks. This album is not just a remix album as others but the remixing work of a full team of weird minds bringed all together.

The Bloody Bastard Remixes feature remixed stuff from the most appreciated GF93 releases "Convulse All Star" and "OSR".

Yes, it's official: WE HAVE A NEW BASSPLAYER!

Yes it's official, we have a new bassplayer.

After 5 years, our collboration with Fabba ended. We wouldn't explain the reasons as they are too many, we are just thinking of DAVID, the new BASS-MAN. Coming from a Black Metal background David is the perfect person for the new GF93 style.

We are all very excited: The Bloody Bastard Remix Album is coming soon and we have some new tracks ready. We are working hard to release an EP (maybe a limited edition) and to complete the new album.

We played few gigs with David and we are totally happy with this choice...He is also known for being a quiet person and that's what we were looking for. We wish all the best of luck to Fabba for his future sonic advetures.

Enjoy the new line up by clicking the names: David, Mario, Carlo, Alvaro.

No Merry Christmas and No happy new year, this is not the right place to read this kind of things. GF93

Pull The Chain Review
This must be the 4th release from those italians and I’m nicely surprised. I liked their previous release but this one is totally professional and the band’ style is hard to label having various specific influences quite different from song to song.
It starts like some modern Hardcore, heavy, powerful yet very melodic with a lot of experimentation and brilliant songwriting, aggressive vocals that can sometimes possess a lot of feeling,… a few songs later, I recognize the older style of the band, more Nu-Metal influenced, with more melodic vocals that unfortunately might remind you of some big bands of the genre we love to hate, but it’s never cheap, there’s no filler. Later, some Post-Hardcore with tricky rhythms, followed by more Hardcore-influenced Nu Metal.
Produced by Converge’s own Kurt Balou, this album could help this band get signed by a major and, like it or not, they pretty much deserve it !

During the summer we will work with some artists (that we respect and love) on several projects. First of all the GF93/Zeroin single is almost ready. The vocals are done and now we are just waiting the propducer to mix the song! Alvaro is working hard to record the ILID's drums (the EP is scheduled to be released in October) together with Ale Paolucci on bass and Me on production. I will move very soon (for a short period during this summer) in Torino to work with my Black Metal brothers on the BLOODFIRE project.GF93's remix album is almost ready so we hope to release it in September. At last me and Mario are approaching the new GF93 songs...The mood is amazing and expect a big change. These songs are Heavier, Darker and I think that we are doing a step back to my roots as the new songs are influenced mostly by the Black Metal sound and attitude...Yes, strange but true. Have a great summer and talk to you soon. Carlo and GF93.

Not going to apologize.

We would like write you all just to make a thing clear. During the past days some people offered us a gig that we have refused to play. The fact is that  we believe that the other bands involved in the festival are crappy.

If some rumors will surface after this, we don't care. We would like to say that we are not going to apologize for refusing to share the stage with some crappy posers. Our ideals are much more important than a gig or whatever.

That's what we say. GF93

"I GF93 sono finalmente tornati sulle scene, con il nuovo album “O.S.R.”, importante svolta stilistica nell’ambito di un percorso evolutivo e creativo che non ha mai abbandonato la band nel corso della sua sofferta carriera. Chi meglio dell’anima e del cuore della formazione fiorentina, il vocalist Carlo Bellotti, poteva introdurci nei meandri compositivi e nella passionale e complicata alchimia che ribolle, pronta ad esplodere, all’interno di questa oscura creatura musicale? Spazio ad un artista davvero con le idee chiare e con una volontà di ferro…"

2 years after their rather successful release "Convulse All-Star", this Italian band returns with their 4th album to date. Meanwhile, their video for the song "Eight Years" (featuring Misery Loves Company frontman Patrick Wiren) is still being rotated on MTV, Rock TV, Viva Italia, and other international music television. A really wacky remix by SyncProdz closes this new album (after a newly recorded version of the song), by the way. Also, the band switched from UK's Copro label to Germany's Incendiary, and that wasn't the only change that happened, since the line-up was again shaken, as guitarists Ritual & Skank were replaced by Mario De Giorgi (unless that is the real name of one of those guys). Musically, things stayed pretty much the same, even if the band did some experiments. Extremely heavy and aggressive but groovily melodic guitars, complemented with an occasional keyboard and frantic but versatile vocals make for a Metl Crossover/ Industrial sound that brings up comparisons to heavier Deftones and Korn, but mostly to early Converge, while at the same time keeping an own identity! By the way, the connection to Converge is strengthened by the fact that that band's main man Kurt Balou did some additional production (Martin Balbour also did some additional production to that of Alessandro Paolucci, a combination that already worked on the previous album). Being a sucker for the kind of music that not only works on the body but also on the mind, I cannot help myself from nominating this release for my list of 'Best Albums Of 2004'!

RockHard Review

 

I GF 93 sono un vero e proprio fiore all’occhiello del tanto bistrattato panorama rock italiano. La band guidata da Carlo Bellotti, infatti, ha saputo distinguersi negli ultimi anni grazie ad una proposta assolutamente valida e sui generis, che il nuovo “Osr” ( abbreviazione di “Own Style Research” ) esalta al meglio attraverso tredici brani dinamici ed emozionali, lontani dai soliti ‘clichès’ che identificano gran parte delle band cosiddette ‘crossover’ oggi in circolazione. E’ incredibile come i GF 93 riescano a far andare a braccetto i numerosi momenti di ‘tensione’ che le chitarre abrasive di Mario De Giorgi e le screming vocals di Carlo creano in continuazione, con una serie di aperture melodiche davvero da brividi ( “Deathwishineye”, “Enter The Cult ( The Cold Ocean )” e “Trustpay”, tanto per citare i casi a mio parere più eclatanti ), facendo sempre leva su una complessità strutturale che rende il tutto ancora più ‘avvincente’. Questo è un disco eclettico e maturo, che ha bisogno di più ascolti per essere compreso a fondo e che, nonostante prenda spunto da realtà molto distanti fra loro quali possono essere quelle messe in scena dai Tool come dai Rage Against The Machine, dai Korn come da certi esponenti della scena black ( non dimentichiamo che lo stesso Carlo vanta trascorsi nei Necromass ), mantiene ferma un’identità che appartiene ai GF 93 e soltanto a loro. Con buona pace dei tanti ‘wannabes’ che affollano la scena.

Silentstagnation.com Review

GF93 - OSR

Finally the German Incendiary Records go on where they left off last year when they split up. With Gf93's "OSR" they publish an outstanding record that takes rock/indie/hardcore to another level, Gf93 is a rocking groove of its own! The already fourth album by the Italians was mixed by Kurt Ballou (Converge) and mastered by Alan Douches and we know that Kurt Ballou doesn't mix bullshit so you can expect an unique album with tons of different influences. Gf93 was founded 1996 and on their first album they offered an Industrial/metal sound but "OSR" is far away from that. Their newest output is an uncommon mixture of rock, hardcore and rare metallic guitars. The whole time I had another band in mind that reminds me of "OSR" and when I read the label info I knew I was right, here and there Gf93 remind me of The Deftones. I'm honest, I never liked The Deftones that much just because I missed ground-breaking guitars and lasting angry outbursts...and Gf93 exactly offer these elements! What a stroke of luck, frail atmospherically indie paired with aggressive tension. Favourites of mine are "Heartbeat" because of its combination of a crushing and thick wall of guitars and dissonant frail playing. "Earthagram" for its undisputed chaos on the album! "OSR" is one of the records I can say, it's not an album it's a journey! Every song has something own and with their extraordinary guitar playing they always create a special note and vocalist Carlo Bellotti is able to change between harmonic clean singing and harsh screaming. Additionally to his great vocal styles they added a few guest vocalists, for example at "Own Style Research" Giacomo Rossi offers wonderful clean singing parts. I recommend this record to every fan of progressive tunes and if you also like crushing heaviness Gf93 got the right mixture for you. "Eight Years" is another song that contains these down-tuned walls of guitar, a band that also uses such guitars were Type O Negative but Gf93 remix them with harmonic passages!

4 / 6 stars

ThePRP REVIEW

Though American audiences have essentially stamped out any glowing embers remaining from the late 90's nu-metal wildfire, it bears noting that the genre still remains a source of heat in other countries. Such is the case with Italian alt. metal prospects GF93, who with their latest opus, the volatile "OSR", show that with a little determination those nu-metal flames can still inflict 3rd degree burns.Fans of '02's "Convulse All Star" will quickly come to find that GF93 are still as stylized and vicious as ever, delivering a vitriolic nu-metal hybrid that shares similarities with many but is overshadowed by none. Angular guitar riffs dominate, veering sharply this way and that around spine-tingling bass thumps and Carlo Bellotti's melodically patented metal serrations. "OSR" does suffer slightly from an unbalanced track layout, as some of the album's best cuts are paired together rather than being interspersed evenly with the lesser songs. It is hard to resist skipping ahead or back for favorites like "Deathwishineye" or "Own Style Research", but those that do should find overlooked gems like "Heartbeat" and "Crush-Art" (featuring some ultra-melodic backing vocals courtesy of Ilid's Natascia Pribac) as more than just unassuming filler. Converge's Kurt Ballou delivers a thick mix that emphasizes the group's strengths of savage riffs and frenzied vocals while drawing out GF93's melodic heart quite skillfully as well.If GF93 have a weakness, it is in their almost overzealous desire to imbue each song with seemingly a hundred different facets. While this makes for a fiery record that never lets up, it does occasionally feel clustered and claustrophobic due to such busy songwriting. With all that said, GF93 continue to impress with their ingenuity, ability and dedication, making "OSR" not only a quality follow-up to "Convulse All Star" but further proof that these Italian alt. metal impresarios can ignite infernos all on their own.
