Release N. 030 - The croatian legend Gruuthaagy!!!!!
Balkanische Schweine , 2006. Previously released as 3 CDr with different cover and art for Noise Annihilation, not available anymore. This is free net version re-release.

Gruuthaagy is one man band, started at 1992. Mainly influenced by total noise acts as Atta and 7 Minutes of Nausea, but listing more that a hundred bands from Nunriders Of The Black Doom to Boney M. on his weblog. Gruuthaagy devotes much attention to artwork on his releasesand homepage/weblog, particularly liking brut-art drawings.

Anarchist/punk themes often assist the bandâs music and image. Sound of Gruuthaagy evolved from plain harsh and dirty noise to experimental and esoteric in first ten years of the band existence, and in 2002 music moved from analog to digital, to more dark atmosphere and such genres as black noise, cyber grind, ritual ambient etc. Also, from ideological point it becomes very occult/satanic inspired.

Gruuthaagyâs equipment is described as cheap PCs, minimal, often half broken technics or home made instruments. Live appearances are very rare, as author prefers to keep the band on the cult level, and says that Gruuthaagy is music of the dead, invisible, and suppressed. Releases are made through DIY/underground labels.
