Performance artist/musician from Houston, Texas known for his wild shows and excessive drug abuse. Born on June 1, 1973. Died on April 6, 2008. (from discogs)
i've met this artist never know before. Very impressive artist.
i think deserves reissues for long time soldout tapes. ( my opinion )
someone have experience about Dave Gilden?

A legendary, influential and mysterious figure of 90's American Noise. I don't know how many times I've listened to Texas Chainsaw Dopefiend over the past year, probably hundreds. It's hard to listen to new noise when you have perfect and timeless classics such as that.
Don't know if this has been posted here before, but here is a nice resource for some hard to find and out of print Gilden and related material:

Reissues would be great, sure. The Dopefiend tape is available from time to time from Mr Stella though. Same goes for some Slave Labour material.
There are a handful of Black Leather Jesus recordings featuring Gilden as well, and they're still easy to find; the pic LP on Praxis Dr Bearmann, Torture Machinist (reissued as CD on Industrial Recollections).

yes i have it. I had not noticed the credits
there's a tape in slaughter prod. catalogue.
material for Urashima maybe?
There is a reissue of TC Dopefiend coming on CD, I think Jon from Pedestrian Deposit is doing it?
I was lucky enough to acquire copies of the Sawgasm and Slave Labor "A Sick Cow" tapes earlier this year. Both total classics. His stuff always sounds legitimately dangerous, and made by someone not so stable in one way or another, but with complete command over what they're doing.
I traded with him & met him once but I don't remember anything specific about him.
the TCD reissue will come eventually, but it has to be right. under-appreciated 90's noise genius that fits perfectly with evolution and contemporary methods; would certainly be appreciated by the current generation. trash ritual has all gilden's master tapes, but hasn't done anything with them. would be nice if they were forwarded to someone else.
i'm curious who's behind the weebly page, but i haven't attempted to make contact. there's some great unreleased sessions available for download there.
Trash ritual guy is "underground" or something right ??
I've had this Dave Gilden / Dachise split 7"EP on the Dutch New Noise label (Peter Zinken's label) since release in the 1990's. Never knew who Gilden was, thanks for the information.
I recall there was David Gilden appreciation thread back in the noisefanatics days. I managed to get basically master CDR of one David Gilden tape from TWR Tapes. Tidal Wave Recycling was Lasse Marhaug's label back in 90's and seems so obscure/overlooked that many of labels releases do not appear even at discogs where most stuff seems to get listed...
I did re-issue of Egoproblem "Exit Tape Kill" tape on CD (Industrial Recollections). It's old Marhaug project after Herb Mullin, but before changing to publish under his own name. Pretty much industrial-noise vibe on it. Some talk was about David Gilden tape, but the man is dead. I've heard some quite amusing stories of his drug-frenzied behavior.
Tape on TWR is not as good as Texas Chainsaw Dopefiend or Depress-Regress.
One should not forget his many collaboration projects with Ramirez. Slave Labor and Lingula. What I remember hearing first, is Bondage Harvest I think he was member. I have very very vague feeling it was more band line-up, kind of Swans influenced stuff heavy and slow bounding. I remember 1990 demo was reviewed in some metal magazines who didn't like such "mindless noise".

Tell us more, mister!
I've been under a rock. Never heard of him. Looking forward to the exposure. It's great to know there are potential gems left to be unearthed.
I ways wonder if TCDF is so good because Stella edited it too... ????

I would say there is some definite truth to this statement. I haven't heard too many of his other works other than TCDF, but what I have heard I can say there is a marked difference, at least with the editing style, in comparison to other works.
I keep reading about how good Texas Chainsaw Dopefiend is. Any news about when the CD reissue, and also the Gilden box set will be out (both were mentioned on this forum years ago)?

Still waiting on a few masters to be unboxed for me. I don't want to have it finished and have other things surface.
Oooh, is that box actually coming to fruition maybe?? Sign me the heck up.
More info would be nice!
Get thee behind me, Satan!
Not much info to give other than it will be pretty massive (at least 15 C60-C90s). Material will range from hard to find material, solo side projects and private releases. Things like TCDf WILL NOT be included because of it's ease of access and Monorail eventually doing a remastered CD version. Still figuring out the art and box, but those will come later.
15 C60-C90s ?!! At least ?! Fucking god ! This is going to be legendary !
Every tape-hungry noisehead is going to shit themselves
Thought the Trash Ritual guy had all Gilden's masters along with a ton of other MSNP and Deadline stuff? Is he just randomly starting to unload stuff he has no intention of doing anything with? Seems kind of strange after all this time, would be curious to know exactly what's in this supposed box.
On the strength of the write up in the last Special Interests on David Gilden's - Texas Chainsaw Dopefiend by Hal Hutchinson I ordered a copy of the tape off Discogs. When I first looked there was nothing available, when I looked a few weeks later this had come up. I am very excited to hear it, I didn't even take the free download off the website. I look forward to getting this bigtime, just got that feeling you do when I read the review.
I hope the box comes into fruition for sure.
I keep waiting for the CD reissue of Texas Chainsaw Dopefiend on Monorail Trespassing, although last May the label said it had been put on hold. I hope it will come out in the not too distant future.
3 tape boxset - Narcotic (Various Noise Works) on Dead Mind Records/Narcolepsia. Looks great, sounds great. Get it!
A CD reissue of Temporary Sedation - originally released on cassette by Lasse Marhaug's TWR Tapes in 1996 - is currently at the pressing plant and will be released on Troniks this summer.

Great news!!
I missed out on the tape set, it sold out quick. But thanks to HH's thing on him in SI, I am grateful for the material I got.

I missed this cd. Didn't expect this to sell out so fast. Will this be repressed or does anybody know where to get a copy? Thanks!

No current plans for a repress, though it's now available digitally through Lasse Marhaug's Pica Disk Bandcamp: https://picadisk.bandcamp.com/album/temporary-sedation
I think all the distros that got copies are sold out but a few copies have popped up on Discogs, including a used copy up there right now.
Thanks, bought the one from Discogs.. Indeed, the only copy I could find online.
Can someone in possession of this guy's shit rip it to soulseek? Would appreciate the heck out of ya
