More than five years after seeing their final show in Seattle, the power of GAS CHAMBER still mesmerizes me. I've never seen or heard a band like them, and very few have even come close to matching their emotional power. Advice From Yama is a collection of recordings spanning 2008-2016, for the very beginning to the very end of their existence, but it presents as a fully realized concept. Uncompromising and advanced hardcore punk melts into disorienting noise and experimental soundscapes, something like what progviolence would sound like if progviolence existed. But it did exist, and it was brutal. And it was beautiful.

Top tier band of this century (and the last, arguably). An unimpeachable power both live and on recording, which is rare.
