Gnaw is the sawblade-wrapped-in-razorwire brainchild of Alan Dubin (Khanate, Old, O.L.D.), Carter Thornton (Enos Slaughter), Jun Mizumachi (Ike Yard), Brian Beatrice, Eric Neuser and Jamie Sykes (Thorr's Hammer, Burning Witch)/drummer on "This Face" album. Their 2009 debut for Conspiracy Records "This Face" has been described as a "genre destroying journey", utilizing pounding percussion, factory noise, chordal slabs of guitar and bass, homemade electro-acoustic instruments and Dubin's unique and legendary vocalizations. The 5 piece have been assaulting audiences in the US as well as Europe with live shows since 2009 and have just completed their second album, "Horrible Chamber" to be released on Seventh Rule Records - October 2013. www.seventhrule.com


INSECT ARK is the new solo project from Dana Schechter, known for her work with M. Gira's Angels
of Light (Swans) and her own band Bee and Flower. Based in Brooklyn, INSECT ARK is composed and
performed as an analog-electronic hybrid: one woman, a sampler, a bass, a lapsteel and a keyboard.

Creating her personal soundtrack to the human psyche's underbelly, Schechter's sounds weave a brooding,
textural landscape, a starless night spiked with sparkling moments of light and flash. Intimate and cold at the
same time, this foray into her aggressive and experimental musical side braids a strong sense of melody into
the twists and turns.

A new 10" EP, "Long Arms", and a split Cassette with Nathan Bell (Lungfish) are both slated for release
Spring 2013 on Geweih Ritual Documents.
