about

Dan from CGC here.

Anyone that’s remotely close to Bristol (and of course the UK’s) metal scene will know that a few months ago one of our nearest and dearest passed.

Various members of our crew shared years on the stage with Jake ‘Mettle’ Ettle Illes. From mine and Will’s years tearing it up in Body Harvest, right the way through to creating the debut CGC release in my bedroom, he was present - Recording his signature vocals on his lunch breaks, his de tuned riffs and above all else, laughter and joy.

Before CGC, myself and Mettle started an industrial project that never saw the light of day. A few months before Mettle’s passing he mentioned to me “Why don’t we finish a few of those tracks and release it as a one off CGC release?”

This was an idea that should have materialised, but it wasn’t meant to be.

In his memory we have finished one of those tracks, and on Friday the 21st of April it will be released in his memory. We're certain that he would have absolutely LOVED this tune, and needless to say finishing/mixing it was deeply emotional.

We wanted to go down a route that felt like “Godflesh but modernised and gnarlier”. We feel that this has been accomplished, and it's nothing short of heartbreaking that he’ll never hear it.
