Geld have established themselves as the forerunners of a new breed of deranged, progressive punk and hardcore across Melbourne's teeming scene. While oft compared to the athletic determination of Equalizing Distort-era Gauze, or the motorik-flying-off-the-rails, oddball sensibility of Hawkwind, Geld's approach to hardcore on their forthcoming album, Currency // Castration bears closer spiritual resemblance to the throbbing, crushingly direct orientation of industrial dance music. Each song is executed at the edge of the band's compositional ability, surgically worked and reworked with the sole purpose of maximizing the percussive tension between momentum and inertia, creating a wall of sound which offers catharsis only through the direct build up and release of a maddening energy.

Geld's chaotic new single "Success" turns a rabid gaze upon the gross accumulation of wealth as a way of life with a sense of cold pity, expounding upon the mad futility of trying to escape mortality by surrounding oneself with an excess of indulgences. Their impending new album Currency // Castration renders the dissociation and alienation of modern living with exacting precision. It unfurls like a series of infinite reflections breaking down into fractal chaos—it becomes increasingly unclear whether one's suffering comes from the outside world, or from the confines of one's own skull. They've distilled a despairingly hellish vision of the world into a thundering crack to the temple, a naked and unsparing fusion of hardcore's bleakest violence with metal's ruthless strength-through-conviction.
