about
1) GIZA is an Instrumental Apocalyptic Sludge Metal band from Seattle! Giza was formed in March of 2012 by Steve Becker, Trent McIntyre, and Richard Burkett with the goal of writing loud and massive instrumental music. In May of 2012 Giza recorded 6 songs with Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Isis, Minus the Bear) which were released in December 2012 on the album tilted "Future Ruins". Their second album "I am the Ocean, I am the Sea" was released in April 2014. Giza is currently playing shows in the Pacific Northwest. Both albums are available at Bandcamp. Follow Giza on Twitter, and like them on Facebook. 2) Giza : Hmmm The music on Giza’s “Hmmm” exists in an eternal now.
