Cane Hill was an psychiatric hospital located in Croydon, London, until 1991 when it closed. The patients were transferred to other hospitals but the hospital itself, and much of the medical equipment, still remains.

White men make up approximately 36% of the population, but commit 75% of mass shootings. What would be called terrorism by any other skin tone is suddenly some mysterious unnamed disease. We as a society are perfectly happy to further stigmatize mentally ill people, who are far more likely to be victims of violence than commit violence, in the service of protecting white supremacy and male entitlement.
The Dutch band Gulaggh (formerly Stalaggh) have four albums and one EP made up of nothing but the screams of mental patients, rape victims, ex-prostitutes, and children also suffering from mental illnesses. The band says that using real people means real pain and suffering.
During one recording session, they filled a room with 30 children and three supervisors who asked the children to scream as loud as they could. Many of the children became too emotional and scared, except for one girl who sat, clawing on the floor until she bled, all while screaming. During another session, the band learned the story of one of their vocalists, a 16-year-old boy accused of stabbing his mother 30 times after being molested by his uncle nearly all his life.The recordings are bone-chilling tracks filled with real suffering and despair. The band, who remains completely anonymous, says that they will “cease to exist” when their project is finished.
