“GORILLA MASK has created the perfect gateway drug into jazz for Henry Rollins fans.”—Something Else

While their pummelling odd-time grooves, searing melodies, and explosive improvisations skirt the edge of total sonic chaos, hard-slamming Berlin rock/metal/free jazz trio GORILLA MASK somehow maintain full control of their beastly sound. All About Jazz calls Canadian ex-pat Van Huffel “one of the most intense performers” on the alto sax, and he brings visceral and intellectual fire to the gritty avant power trio’s heavy rhythms. With Roland Fidezius bass/effects and Rudi Fischerlehner drums, Peter Van Huffel’s GORILLA MASK is divergent, subversive brilliance.
