G.G.F.H., short for Global Genocide Forget Heaven, consisted of two Californians named Brian J. Walls and Ghost. Their output reflects an acute grasp of media dynamics and a bleak worldview, rendering scenes of suffering, obliviousness and depravity through abrasive electronics, mechanical voices and fragments of recorded speech. At the core lies their fascination with how a fearful power structure fabricates lurid crises for a population dependent on television. Eclipse, the group’s debut full-length release, examined the broadcast-driven alarm over Satanism by weaving in dialogue from daytime talk programs and low-budget movies. Disease, the follow-up album, set aside that focus to address serial killing, erotic brutality and metropolitan isolation instead. Its brighter, synthesizer-driven character stayed unsettling while replacing the dense mechanical drone that defined Eclipse. The Halloween EP, originally issued in a restricted pressing during 1991 under the grim title, later resurfaced in expanded form as the band’s third album, incorporating demo recordings made between 1986 and 1989.
