.Originally entitled "Angel Choirs at the Gates of Hell" and organized in four movements for guitars, keyboards and drums (1987), "Symphony No. 6 / Devil Choirs at the Gates of Heaven" was revised in 1988 and scored for 10 guitars, keyboard, bass, and drums and re-grouped in five movements. (Following up on this imagery, in 1989 Branca composed "Gates of Heaven" for chorus.)
As a study in gradually denser sonorities ("resultant masses") over a rock-steady pulse, this music digs deep to elicit sensations often approached by the profoundest chant. The natural harmonic series is used to generate the rhythms of the various accumulated layers making up these densities. A captivating and gradual unfolding of the music results.
John Cage and Glenn Branca once had a disagreement about Branca's music being "fascist". Cage felt that the densities create the sensation of a "sustained climax" and thus restrict the mind from opening up, but I seriously doubt that fascists (who history has shown tend to go for the most common denominators like maudlin sentimentality, kitsch and mysterious powers "out there") would like Branca's symphonies.

sonic youthnius behind the pioneer punk band: Pop-O-Pies. Joe and crew started off their career in San Francisco (Joe’s originally from New Jersey) by playing their cover of the Grateful Dead’s “Truckin’” over and over … A one song show—that became a must-see act in the Bay area. Soon enough, however, Joe added new tunes to the play-list, including one of the best Beatles covers I’ve ever heard: “I am the Walrus.” His song “The Catholics Are Attacking” is one of my all-time favorite songs. I mean, it’s right up there with “Havana Affair” by the Ramones and “Nazi Punks Fuck Off” by the Dead Kennedys. It’s that good. Joe was also the first singer for the band Faith No More—until they got that guy that sounds like he sings with balloons in his mouth. Other Faith No More alumni have played and recorded with Joe as well as members of Mr. Bungle.
