G.O.
Real Name:
Wilhelm Herich, D.A.X., Doc M. Riot, Brigant Moloch
Profile:
The leading group in the German industrial scene, Genocide Organ joined forces in 1986 and eventually set up the notorious label Tesco Organisation. They have become a cult name among the followers of industrial music worldwide, due to their uncompromising attitude, brutal sounds and presentation, as well as the provocative and "politically incorrect" attitude. Their live performances are as rare as legendary, involving threatening terrorist uniforms, metal junk and blow torches to build the definitive wall of industrial noise. Almost all Genocide Organ records are out of print and, due to the small number of copies pressed and the luxurious packages, are sought-after collector items.
Genocide Organ members are wrapped in mystery, the real names are unknown, during their live performances they are used to wearing masks and hoods to hide their identities. Records are credited to the pseudonimouses of: Wilhelm Herich, Doc M. Riot and D.A.X. Roland Freisler (now active as Diutesc), was one of the two live frontmen together with Wilhelm Herich. Roland Freisler, in the band since 1989, left the band in 1999, his role has been taken by B. Moloch of Anenzephalia.
Another member of the band was Ray Treatment who was in the band from 1986-1987.

Reviews & Discussion
Brilliantly minimal, focused, and absolutely unforgiving, I have had a love/hate relationship with this group for years. They are not music for all moods or tastes. Seriously something from way beyond the edge, even for power electronics. Far stronger than the simple vail of hate propaganda, and certainly not the white supremacists people take them to be, G.O. challenge the notion of what it is to have a belief, the nature of political and self control, and operate to convince the listener to only take orders from himself. An essential, empowering post-industrial group.
