*AVAILABLE ON EITHER LIMITED TRANSPARENT BLACK W/RED SPLATTER VINYL OR RED VINYL W/BLACK SPLATTER!!! God Is War is the solo endeavor of Lebanese American artist Mack Chami. Formed in 2018, GIW set out to compose a much more aggressive, bright, glitchy and colorful approach to noise and industrial. Quickly gaining ground with sold out releases on No Rent, Industrial Coast, Phage Tapes, and Deathbed Tapes, it was clear the heavy impression the act had on the various noise and industrial scenes worldwide. It would be in 2022 when both I Have No Enemies, I Permit No Such Thing (Federal Prisoner) and Predation Perfected (Closed Casket Activities) would really catch the attention of all. Continuing to showcase the strength and diversity of the project's ability to shift between both electronic music and noise / industrial, GIW started touring. In 2022, GIW opened for Blood Incantation, Full Of Hell, Vermin Womb, and Mortuous on a full USA tour. In 2023, GIW/Andy Nolan released the collaboration album The Hunt (Closed Casket Activities) showcasing more dub and hip-hop influences then previous releases, including a full hip-hop track with Toronto-based rapper New Villain. That year GIW toured the UK as well as another full month USA / Canada tour supporting Knoll. Now in 2024 GIW will Boogeyman Inc. On Profound Lore Records, marking another strong full length album that consists of glitchy-IDM type beats across seven tracks. GIW continues to break more boundaries, more stereotypes, and more rules with every . Never allowing an audience to dictate or influence, one could consider GIW an ever evolving chameleon or octopus blending into it's surroundings yet still remaining itself. Catch GIW on tour very soon.

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. The Ramones ignited the punk-rock movement with their eponymous 1976 debut album, revitalizing rock and roll at one of it's lowest ebbs with attitude, energy and a loud, fast new sound. By cutting music down to it's bare essentials - four chords; a simple, catchy melody; a sped-up tempo and irresistibly inane lyrics, the Ramones blazed the trail for thousands of bands that followed, influencing everyone from The Clash and The S*x Pistols to Green Day and The Offspring. Although The Ramones never achieved mainstream financial success, they released 21 live and studio albums, had a devoted fan base and were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. Other bands, such as the Stooges and the New York Dolls, came before them and set the stage and aesthetic for punk, and bands that immediately followed, such as the S*x Pistols, made the latent violence of the music more explicit, but the Ramones crystallized the musical ideals of the genre.
