Southern Lord is proud to unearth this essential reissue of the first two kult classic albums from this seminal instrumental Dutch band. Thee mighty GORE ruled from the late eighties into the mid-nineties. Relentless, heavy,pounding instrumental ROCK, whose influence has paved the way for other heavy instrumental acts like Pelican, RussianCircles, Don Caballero, and of course the band who adopted their name: Bohren und Der Club of Gore. With their use of repetitive heavy rolling rhythms and bombastic execution (sans vocals) Gore pioneered a new style of music for the time.

Gore’s sound is a monolithic one, uncompromising and seemingly singular in its vision. Although the music is exclusively instrumental the first two albums all contain lyric sheets – ostensibly meant to add a “horrorshow” element to the music and make it all the more ominous and hardcore. One can certainly hear elements of Gore’s aesthetic in other like-minded outfits from the 90s' like Melvins, Helmet, the Jesus Lizard, and Godflesh.

For the first time ever these recordings have been painstakingly remastered and are now available again to amaze, overwhelm and bewilder! Each disc of this double-cd set contains the remastered album in all its glory PLUS unreleased bonus material from the same era as the album. This 2xcd set contains 33 songs in total!

There are two separate vinyl releases:

1. the remastered Hart Gore on 1 LP w/ Hart Gore bonus material on the 2nd LP
   
2. the remastered Mean Mans Dream on 1 LP w/ Mean Mans Dream bonus material on the 2nd LP

In the tradition of quality Southern Lord packaging these albums are packaged with a 32 page booklet that contains several never before seen photos plus meticulous liner notes from bassist: Rob Frey.
