Season Of Mist have announced the signing of Phoenix, Arizona experimental/noise outfit GOG aka Michael Bjella.

A staple of the underground noise scene for close to a decade, GOG has previously released a slew of limited editions and CD-Rs, and the latest album, Ironworks, was released on vinyl in December 2012 on Utech (reviewed in Rock-A-Rolla issue 42).

Michael Bjella commented: “I started GOG to explore the darker sides of thought and life. I want to create things without restriction and form that can transport people and possibly make them confront their own fears. Things that are truly dark but have contrast. To borrow a line from one of my favorite artists, in case there might be harmony, then it is the harmony of accident, of chaos. I’m not trying to make harmony. Season Of Mist has shown that they are not afraid to push the envelope with challenging music and sound. With their support I will continue to do that in GOG and bring my ideas to a new and bigger audience, I’m beyond excited. ”

Further details will be revealed in the coming months.
