I've got to know this project once I saw an announcement about the business card CDr Gas Chamber - Berate, limited to 12 copies and distributed by Grief Foundation. Tiny business card comes packed in DVD case in which one will find a piece of paper which reads "GC" and an audio recording. All in all this whole release does not extend over 6 minutes, but that is enough to get an impression on the project. And the impression is bad in no way. The first title in this mini-album - Restrictor, lasting for almost 5 minutes. The sound of this piece - rough and harsh, offending  the ears with showing up high pitched squeaks and rather pleasant low murmurs. Also, I could not but to notice the repetitive text of this tune. But maybe it were my ears that gave me a false illusion. Anyway, it is hardly possible to hear the text and as there are no lyrics included, the sound of text being read merges with the overall noise like some kind of a rhythm. In the foreground throughout the duration of the piece lies a changing and uninterruptible wholeness of noise. The second and the shorter part of the album - a tune that plays just around a minute, titled Animal. The sound in this one, seemingly softer and not as torturous for ears - it's more of a low sound of thunder, this time without any sign of vocals. On top of that - waves of higher and lower, louder and more silent pulsating noises. Overall, this album does not leave a bad impression, and by the fact that this name is rather new and Gas Chamber was started just this year, it looks like the person behind the project really has something to say. And what's even more important - he is capable of doing it good.
