OGOD’s Die Underground, an ethos and curse, breaks the 4th wall through psychedelia’s dark side. A critique and embrace of self-destruction, esoteric vanity and inevitable ruin. The molten-red LP on Riot Season Records plunges deep into an abuse of distortion, existential doom and primal Stooge-like chaos.

L.A.’s Acid Punk Power Trio returns to it's mark 1 lineup, now wielding a second addition in twin-drum assault courtesy of TJ (P.S.F., Deathchant). Jasso (guitar/vocals) is seemingly out for blood on this 4 track studio album, leading a violent dive into the abyss—Japanese Underground fury meets Hendrix’s wreckage, fuzz-drenched wah freak-outs compete against raw punk vocals caught in an endless slapback delay…

Die Young, Die Broke. A new mantra for the most depraved connoisseurs of Psychedelic Punk. For fans of Mainliner, Brainbombs, Rallizes, Stooges, Motörhead. "None heard a sound… DIE UNDERGROUND.”

OGOD, Over-Gain Optimal Death, are an Acid Punk power trio formed in 2008 hailing from Los Angeles, and now currently hiding out somewhere in the South of France. Fronted by guitarist/ vocalist Jasso (Psychedelic Speed Freaks, Antarcticans), they push a special niche product of blown-out extreme psychedelic noise rock.

Their sound is enveloped in a total nihilist "No Hope" atmosphere of heavy lyrics and distortion, mating intoxicating pulsing repetition, hyperactive improvisations and out of body guitar solos.

Resurrecting US 60s punk and acid-riffage from the likes of Blue Cheer, the Stooges, MC5 and live Hendrix Experience, OGOD also draws greatly on the in-the-red sound aesthetic and high energy of the Speed Freak Underground and Hardcore scene of 80s/90s Japan.

Good people ... where do you hear about new music these days? any particular blogs, sites, facebook groups, radio shows etc?

07/03/2025

Just a quick one to say thanks for the OGOD orders today 🖤

Also, mailing list subscribers. I’ve had a few folks saying they didn’t get the discount email earlier in the week. I have NO idea why this is

The label mailing list is handled by mailchimp, all I do is compose and send out the emails to the mailing list. But I have zero input into who gets them and who doesn’t

You need to make sure your signed up as I can’t see myself

👉🏻 http://eepurl.com/ivzZ

I have a few of my own email addresses on the mailing list so I can check the mailouts myself, and they often go straight to my spam folder rather than my inbox

I don’t know why that happens, when I get an ungodly amount of actual spam going into my inbox, but it’s always worth taking a look there just to be sure

Thanks x
