Sad to see em' go, but I'm definitely not surprised.

anonymous 3/15/2013 10:42:23 AM

No lengthy statements about splitting is pretty refreshing. Liked these guys a lot, it's a shame.

anonymous 3/15/2013 10:45:56 AM

Sucks. Their last album was fantastic.

anonymous 3/15/2013 10:46:30 AM

Thank you. Nobody liked or listened to you

Awful news.

Tomorrow's headline: "Everyone from Gaza but that rapist scumbag forms a new band with a new singer who doesn't make their skins crawl."

Norma jean is stoked

anonymous 3/15/2013 11:28:16 AM

I guess you could say that they are never coming back. And personally I don't care where they go when they break up.

MarginError 3/15/2013 11:41:57 AM

Bummer, didn't get to see them.

anonymous 3/15/2013 11:44:13 AM

that singer from fit for an autopsy is stoked. another band he can join.

anonymous 3/15/2013 11:49:02 AM

Wow, surprising. Their last album was amazing and I felt like they were gaining momentum. Huge bummer.

anonymous 3/15/2013 11:52:01 AM

just got paid $7500 working off my computer this month.? And if you think that's cool, my divorced friend has twin toddlers and made over $8k her first month. It feels so good making so much money when other people have to work for so much less. This is what I do, ??????JOBS54.COM

MeatDelivery 3/15/2013 11:59:11 AM

This makes me angry. Thanks for 3 good albums

anonymous 3/15/2013 12:04:29 PM

Bummed.

this sucks. now there's no one to ripoff Coalesce and throw in shitty sludge riffs. wah.

anonymous 3/15/2013 12:55:43 PM

FUUCCCKKKK!!! I hate most new metal/underground bands that emerge these days. These guys were amazing. Sad day. Sob...sobs

willhandicap 3/15/2013 1:05:23 PM

Total loss. This band is so underrated. You can't fake this sound. Thank you, Gaza, for the great music, bravo, well done.

anonymous 3/15/2013 1:21:39 PM

ugh! i hate it when bands find influence from other bands and try to derive their own sound from it! it certainly is the worst! only true, original music that has never been done before is any good. hmph.

anonymous 3/15/2013 1:26:00 PM

Well I'm bummed. At least I saw them once.

anonymous 3/15/2013 1:57:58 PM

So did the singer beatd someone or what?

anonymous 3/15/2013 3:12:05 PM

He was probably drunk when he did it, it's not his fault

anonymous 3/15/2013 3:52:29 PM

stfu he didnt beat anyone morons.

anonymous 3/15/2013 3:52:54 PM

so what happened basically?

anonymous 3/15/2013 3:53:17 PM

They are partially coming back.

chokeonmyknife 3/15/2013 3:53:28 PM

One of my favorite bands. God damn it.

anonymous 3/15/2013 3:53:55 PM

ok so I keep hearing it's about a beat incident? I just hope the rapist isnt a poster on www.therocksalt.com

horseheadxbookends 3/15/2013 5:27:25 PM

cares

anonymous 3/15/2013 6:15:40 PM

im sure that bullshit allegation had something to do with this. Considering they had no real reason to end so abruptly. fcking shitty news, glad I got to be part of their movement while it lasted.

honky_adonis 3/15/2013 6:23:25 PM

their movement

anonymous 3/15/2013 6:44:06 PM

They should stay together and have RetiredArtists write their next album.

anonymous 3/15/2013 7:57:17 PM

"I wish I could break your fcking nose I hope he thoroughly enjoyed penetrating you, you weak angry gay." ^ Ught Oh watch out, Internet Tough Guy is on the loose. U Mad Bro? because your weak band broke up because they wanted to focus more time on sucking dck and buying tight jeans? Dude probably weighs in at 128lbs soaking wet in bro sweat. Eat more dck and update your Facebook to let everyone know how you feel c*nt lips.

anonymous 3/15/2013 8:05:58 PM

so he got busted "dead-horsing" some scene chick who only wanted to snuggle? And now the bands legal team had decided it is best to disband in wake of the alleged un-consented "dead-horsing" allegations. Weak shit, Dead Horse Mafia nakka.

anonymous 3/15/2013 8:12:17 PM

^truth

anonymous 3/15/2013 8:23:59 PM

It's shitty that all of a sudden we have to be careful about who we fck on tour because they can turn around and sue us. Even if we don't have any money at all. Just ask ADTR.

"It's shitty that all of a sudden we have to be careful about who we fck on tour because they can turn around and sue us." ^ Don't worry bro I'm sure your band is small enough and sucks dck enough that it will yield zero pssy.

No lie, Greg Puciato showed me this band in '07 or '08. Ever since, seen 'em 7 times in 5 cities in 4 states and they have never failed to disappoint. Nice guys, so much so that I desperately want to believe this has nothing to do with the beat allegations, but when a new band comes out and has all of their names attached except Jon's it's going to be really hard not to speculate. Best of luck.

Some femme riot grrrrrrrl misandrist loser posted on her blog that the singer beatd her, didn't even go to the police.

old dillinger noise riffs and non grinding drums do not equal grindcore. noisecore more so than anything. shits too slow for grindcore, this is what happens when people dont listen to afformentioned genre.

thetowerofrome 3/18/2013 7:26:22 PM

wow..... terrible fcking news. did not see this coming at all. they always put on some of the best sets i've ever seen. fcking lame.

anonymous 3/19/2013 4:06:01 PM

its refreshing when dumb ass male feminists get a taste of their own medicine. the alleged beat (which i really believe didn't happen) was the best thing that ever happened to gaza's "career." That being said, shit band, shit members, good riddance.

anonymous 3/19/2013 4:52:24 PM

Guy kozowyk signed this band, he supports rapists
