They started in [[1986]] and broke-up in [[1988]], but briefly reformed in the middle of [[2002]]. Their first release was a self-titled, 21-track 7" EP, released in 1987. It was one of the first [[grindcore]] albums, and was very extreme for its time. Their most well-known and acclaimed work is the [[Pneumatic Slaughter]] EP. The band was named after a song on [[Amebix]]'s [[Arise!]]. The band is not to be confused with a number of other bands called Fear Of God. One was a [[Los Angeles]] [[thrash metal]] band that eventually morphed into F.O.G., who was then based in [[Baltimore]]. Another earlier Fear Of God from [[Baltimore]] was an old school [[hardcore punk]] band who was active in the early [[1980s]]. ==Swiss Fear Of God Band members== *[[Erich Keller]] - [[Vocals]] *[[Reto Kühne]] - [[Guitar]] *[[Franz Oswald]] - [[Drums]] *[[Dave Phillips (Fear of God)|Dave Phillips]] - [[Bass guitar|Bass]] & [[Vocals]] (1987-April 1988) *[[Erich Keller]] - [[Vocals]] *[[Hervé Geuggis]] - [[Guitar]] *[[Gilles Geuggis]] - [[Guitar]] *[[Massimo Iorillo]] - [[Bass guitar|Bass]] *[[Franz Oswald]] - [[Drums]] (April 1988 - July 1988) ==Discography== ==CDs== *[[Dave Phillips (Fear of God)|Dave Phillips]]: ''A Collection of Curses'' - CD [[Blossoming Noise]] / [[U.S.A.]] (2006) *[[V/A Tribute Album]]: ''The End of Fear Of God'' - CD [[Tochnit Aleph Records]] / [[Germany]] (2004) *[[Dave Phillips (Fear of God)|Dave Phillips]]: ''The Hermeneutics of Fear Of God'' - CD [[Tochnit Aleph Records]] / [[Germany]] (2003) *[[Fear Of God]]: ''Fear Of God(1st)'' - CD [[Eu91]] / [[Italy]] (2003) *[[Fear Of God]]: ''s/t'' - CD [[A.Marsch]] / [[Japan]] (2001) *[[Fear Of God]]: ''I'm Positive'' - MC [[Maimed by Love]] / [[U.S.A.]] (1997) *[[Fear Of God]]: ''Blazing Swiss Noise'' - MC [[Private Records]] / [[Switzerland]] (1988) *[[Fear Of God]]: ''At Speedairplay/LoRa'' - MC [[Off the Disk]] / [[Switzerland]] (1988) ==LPs== *''[[Zeitgeist]]'' - Double-LP 2003 Absurd Records / [[Brazil]] *''[[Grind Masters]]'' - LP *''[[As Statues Fell]]'' - 12"LP re-release 1992 Farewell / [[Germany]] *''[[As Statues Fell]]'' - 12"LP 1988 Off the Disk / [[Switzerland]] ==EPs== *''[[Pneumatic Slaughter]]'' - 7"EP re-release 1993 Anomie / [[Germany]] *''[[Konserven]]'' - 7"EP 1992 Wo Sheds / [[Switzerland]] *''[[Pneumatic Slaughter]]/Live'' - 7" EP 1990 Atrocious / [[U.S.A.]] *''Fear Of God'' - 7"EP re-release 1990 Far Out / [[Switzerland]] *''Fear Of God'' - 7"EP 1988 Temple of Love Records / [[Germany]] ==Compilations== *''Nobody Listens Anymore'' - Compilation 7"EP with [[Youth Crew]], [[Psycho Sin]], [[Filthy Christians]], etc. [[1990]] P.P.R. / Violent Noise / [[Mexico]] *''Trapped in a Tooth Gear'' - Compilation LP 1993 ''Two Sheds Records'' / [[Switzerland]] ==Bootlegs== *''Fear Of God'' - 7"EP, including 1 Bonus Track ("Break the chains" by Infest) 1985 *''Fear Of God'' - Controlled By Fear - LP (Live and practice recordings) *''Fear Of God/Infest'' - split 7"EP *''Fear Of God/[[Death Noise]]'' - split 12"EP *''Fear Of Godstomper'' - 7"EP split with Godstomper ==Official Tapes & Compilation-Tapes== *''Compilation Tape'' with [[Napalm Death]], [[Ripcord]] and [[T.M.P.]]- Live in Geislingen 1.July 1987 ''Sewer Corpse Tapes'' / [[Germany]] *''This is What Rudy Says - Eat The Rich!'' - Split tape with [[Crawl Noise]] - Live in Luzern, & [[Seven Minutes Of Nausea]] Demo ''Total Noise Tapes'' [[Germany]] *''Blazing Swiss Noise'' - Demo Tape 1987 *''Demo 2'' - 1988 *''World Under My Fingernails'' - Demo Tape 3 *''Glimmer of Hope'' - Demo Tape 4 *''I'm Positive'' - K7 (discography-tape) ==Compilation Tapes== *''Honest Friendship'' DCF Tapes & Sick Of Fanzine / [[Austria]] *''More Censorship'' released by Mark Sikora / [[Germany]] *''Bock Biere Rot Rixe'' Fraggle Product / [[France]] *''Music For Narrow Minded People Vol.2'' [[Switzerland]] *''SpeedAirplay Special: Fear Of God in Studio'' SpeedAirplay Tapes / [[Switzerland]] *''Choice Of Noise'' [[Germany]] *''Use Your Anger'' SOA Tapes ==External links== *[http://www.eu91serbianleague.com/hc_interviews_fear_of_god_english.htm Fear of God Interview on EU´91 Serbian League Magazine] *[http://www.tochnit-aleph.com/dp/ Dave Phillips Homepage] *[http://www.loveform.com/ Loveform (Massimo Iorillo) Homepage] *[http://www.geuggis.com/terrorist/ Dj Terrorist (Hervé Geuggis) Homepage] *[http://www.addis.ch/ Addis (Gilles Geuggis) Homepage] *[http://www.cxc.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=22&Itemid=2 F.O.G.
