GOROD TO PLAY IN STEEL CUBE?



(EDITORS NOTE: The OMG, WTF are they doing thought just dawn me)..
GOROD and BLABBERMOUTH.NET. have announced that FRENCH death metal band GOROD perform at EVENTO 2009 in Bordeaux, France in a STEEL CUBE, sound proofed with no ventilation for about 15 minutes.
FROM BLABBERMOUTH.NET:
French death metallers GOROD will take part in Evento 2009, a new biennial event that will take place October 9-18 throughout the urban public space of the city of Bordeaux, France. This year's edition will present artistic, theoretical and performative interventions by over 50 participants, articulated by the notion of Collective Intimacy, the concept proposed by its curator, Didier Fiúza Faustino.

GOROD will perform inside Portuguese artist João Onofre's "Box Sized Die" installation, a soundproof, steel-walled cube, an homage to Tony Smith's DIE, an icon of American sculpture dating from 1962. At the beginning of the performance, they will play with the door open (normal concert volume level). Then the door will be shut and nothing more will be heard outside. As the cube has no ventilation, the concert will last at most 14 minutes, after which the exhausted band will open the door again.

Onofre has worked with several other metal bands in the past, including Swiss melodic death metallers DARKMOON, who performed inside "Box Sized Die" at last year's Art Basel, described as "the most prestigious international art fair."
