We present the very last instalment of the label with new and old friends, don't sleep on it as there will be just 250 copies and no repress:

One would have thought we have come that far from nothing, but if we came from nothing, how can we know nothing?  This is the end but also the beginning, it ends with nothing as it started with nothing. Humanity's fate is based on nothing, which means nothing that we know will change anything..…and so the story goes on and on and on and on…

GiH proudly presents our new label, "aliēnus". The first reference is a various artists compilation that introduces the concept of human decay in dystopian megacities. 

Humankind is a foreigner in the third planet of the Solar System and the ultimate responsible for its terrible ostracism in no other than this wretched creature's consciousness.

"...Human consciousness is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware. Nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself. We are creatures that should not exist by natural law..."

IMG_2 - Principatus [GiH008] vinyl-only, no digital

We are pleased to announce a new installment of GiH series... This time with Xoki & Hieronymus. For those of you who don't know these great producers, they hail from Denmark and their trademark sound when it comes to electronic music is analog and heavy dubby-flavoured rhythms, which we find absolutely delightful and catchy... You can easily lose yourself in the myriad of impossible delays and endless reverbs. These guys have released on the now defunct Kyoto, ZeECc or the well known Statik Entertainment, among many other labels. Less talk more rock, so have a listen and let the music speak by itself.

The record is available on our Bandcamp, shipping from the 11th of September onwards: 

https://groundedinhumanity.bandcamp.com/album/resistance

As always, it'll be delivered with a comic illustrating this chapter, where the humans left after the massive slaughter try to gather and come up with an evil plan to spoil the clone's idea of ruling the world.

NOW also available for pre-sale on Decks Records:

aliēnus presents a new compilation comprising new and not so new faces on our beloved planet Earth.

This time, we'd like to emphasize that truth is beyond consciousness and consciousness implies duality. Consciousness would imply that one is conscious of the truth, hence separate from the truth.

Some wise humans reckon no one can know the truth, but can be in the truth.

Music wise, you'll find some warm tones that evoke deep and ethereal feelings in the listener. It took us some time to pick specimens capable of delivering these highly sought-after emotions.

"...For the most part, the traditional epistemologies within the human context always have a dual scope comprising a subject and an object. Consciousness is the interaction between these two and relies heavily on the point of observation. Therefore, these simplistic and illusory tools will keep humankind from being in the truth forever..."

Figments Of Duality (CD compilation, ALICD003)

... It all happened in the blink of an eye. The truth of the matter is that nobody expected such an excessive and brutal reaction from the regent's guard. Everybody watched amazed how they pounced on the enraged man, who was desperately trying to avoid his precious fan to be snatched away from him.

Two accurate stabs sufficed to bring him down.

- Thyat, I think we went too far. - Said the most corpulent of the two while he put away the shiny fan in his leather bag tied to his belt.

- Both of us know what we are dealing with and we'll definitely be highly rewarded for this. - Reproached the other whilst yelling at the gossiping mass which was crowding around the brief affray.

One could sense hatred and tension towards the governor's troops, although nobody dared to utter complains or insults whatsoever, quenched by the fear to retaliation. It was well known, those were the manners of that tyrant and his agents executed them undaunted.

The members of the group removed the lifeless body of his friend and placed it on the pavement's ditch that led to Laine. Their plans to sell the shining gem had been truncated tragically and suddenly.

While they were pondering what their next move was going to be and becoming mindful of what had just occurred, an old man with a long and thick white beard in a pearl-coloured rob with golden edgings went up to them and proposed something...

- I've witnessed everything that happened and I can revive your murdered partner. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't do it for anybody, I'm not that type of person, but your case is a blatant injustice and I could make an exception. Anyway, this involves toilsome and complex sorcery and you must know that my fee is not inexpensive.

There was no need for any debate within the team. In a matter of a split second all of them thought in unison of the mysterious gem. Would it be enough to pay the mage? Swiftly, Rayca opened up the case that stored the jewel and showed it to the mage. As the hand-crafted case was being opened, a reddish shimmering radiance dazzled them. The old man examined it eagerly and visibly thrilled, raised his head and nodded... 

--------------------------------------------------------------

This time we present another story that has nothing to do with the main plot of the label, although it's somehow connected to it. Let's say it harkens back to the very origins of the storyline.

The White Man delivers an obscure and introspective trip that was revealed to him after several months of obssesive and recurring nightmares. This strange phenomenon abruptly ocurred when he found out about the existence of The Starry Wisdom and started to further investigate the fishy events that surrounded the sacrilegious worship.

- It's something that I can't and I ought not to remember, yet I desperately need to express. I just hope it doesn't lead me to absolute dementia.

The recordings are brought to you in the form of a limited edition of 150 units of 12" vinyl, hand stamped white label. You can listen to the samples and get hold of the record below:

Dear human survivors,

While the story of Grounded in Humanity is coming closer to its glorious end - there will be 3 more releases before the final showdown of humanity vs. human clones - the birth of our spin-off label Human Insurgents is taking shape. The first chapter, a 11-track album, is written and told by PHAT LORD - who is also known as leader of the human resistance, trying to put an end to the brutal regency of the clones. Phat Lord is a true legend of the underground and his origin and location are totally unknown, even for the largest part of the resistance. Some say he may even be a clone himself…. The album is a sonic trip through various mental states and dystopic landscapes. It is a result of 8 years moving below the surface and often in the dark, to avoid discovery. He worked with simple, analog methods, focusing on the true essence of sound. We recommend a setting that allows for deep listening and proper bass support.

Phat Lord

PHAT LORD - PHAT LORD [Human Insurgents]

Welcome to a new reality. Things have turned around for humanity. In a bad way. Now the clones are the ones in power and searching for the last hideouts of human survivors in order to exterminate them for good. With the exception of only a few, musically talented specimens, whom the clones want to keep alive so they can produce and play music for their listening pleasure. Lets see how this is going to end. This is chapter 10 out of 12. Not much time left for the grand final.

Persecution

Ohrwert / David Hausdorf - Persecution [GiH010] vinyl-only, no digital

As we approach the very last installment of the story, the greatest, final and cruelest battle between humankind and the clones is fought, just after the resistance is discovered hiding out in their underground lair. The humans were overwhelmed in numbers and outclassed in technology so the struggle was soon stifled and every rebel was brutally slaughtered until no one, but the captain, remained standing. Literally the last man on Earth burst into tears as he realized his species had been extinguished for good and he couldn't do anything to eschew it, while he was contemplating the obliterated battleground. That is even more painful than his own imminent death. He doubts for a split second, he pulls his gun from the belt and he says to himself while pushing the trigger.

- I ain't going to let those bastards finish me off...

DNA Sequence Vol. 1 [GiHCD001]

Grounded In Humanity claims to be an output for the most instinctive aspect of the Human Species, which is certainly the most creative one and also the responsible for chaining these creatures to their own existence, preventing them to evolve from a more rational perspective. This hypothetical development would probably bring equal opportunities for the vast majority of the collective and a greater progression indeed. 
However, the power of the individual is systematically given priority condemning this species to a mere and miserable existence.

The label narrates a metaphoric science fiction story where each vinyl reference represents a chapter, comprising a comic and an intro or outro speech to further illustrate the plot of the episode.
