An exclusive double vinyl reissue of Skullflower’s epochal "IIrd Gatekeeper" album. Originally released on Justin Broadrick's (GODFLESH) hEADdIRt Recordings label in 1992, this is the first time that the record has been available on vinyl for 30 years.

This definitive and expanded edition includes extra and unreleased tracks taken from the original recording sessions. For the first time all the tracks from this period can be heard together giving unprecedented access to material previously only available in the band's archives.

Recorded in London in 1991, "IIIrd Gatekeeper" had its roots deep in the UK noise and Power Electronics scene. Graduates of the Broken Flag school of British noise-making, Skullflower's third album featured the line-up of: Matthew Bower (Total, Black Sun Roof!, The Hototogisu, Voltigeurs etc), Anthony Di Franco (Ramleh, JFK, Novatron, AX etc), and Stuart Dennison (Ramleh).

This is Skullflower at their heaviest, grinding out slow, sludgy riffs and crushing, almost industrial rhythms amid a tempest of psychedelic guitar noise and dense sheets of feedback - easily the most crushing, rock-based music that Skullflower ever produced.

Double vinyl in a heavy matt "non-scratch" laminated gatefold sleeve.
