Expect the unexpected. British shapeshifters Gnod, the band of many faces, return to Prague after three years.

The enigmatic psych-rock ensemble Gnod is celebrating 20 years of existence: two decades of constant reinvention and gripping musical adventures. Since their inception in 2006, Gnod’s musical trajectory has been one of constant fluctuation borne out of an incessant need to discover new sonic worlds, furthering their own unique place in independent music with each new record. Beginning life as a shamanic drone ensemble, at times fitting up to 15 members on stage, these early rituals informed the core ideals that have come to define the group in their years of activity; community and trance-inducing repetition. Gnod reference the British industrial scene (Throbbing Gristle, Coil), and their psychedelic, dense output also repeatedly echoes influences of krautrock, dub, post-punk, and noise electronics.

Following last year’s Spot Land, Gnod are releasing a new collaborative album Drop Out III, recorded in tandem with New York's experimental rock titans White Hills, as well as a brand new album titled Chronicles of Gnowt (Vol 1). And this coming spring, they head out on a European tour with a stop at Prague's MeetFactory."Tumbling into any given Gnod release always requires the unravelling of one’s own psychic threads as much as trying to fathom what the band have achieved sonically."* — The Quietus

The night will open with EDITH, a noise rock trio from Central Bohemia, currently playing in a line-up of two basses - drums - vocals. Their raw, direct sound and Czech lyrics captivate with uncompromising energy while opening a space for deeper reflection. The band has gone through several personal and stylistic phases, from minimalist post-noise-core, through a darker post-rock period to today‘s rolling post punk and noise-rock. They released two full-length 2 albums, and perform throughout the country with occasional trips abroad. With a new drummer, EDITH are currently working on a new album, which will celebrate the band's 20 years on the scene.
