    I'm with Flight123. LastFM desperately needs some "disambiguation" filtering to prevent confusion. And the original Gilgamesh would have been able to play polyrhythmic rings around all the others.

    Despite many unhelpful and some abusive comments below, Last FM has not separated out the various bands-of- the-same-name. I suspect, however, that the all-female death metal trio is incapable of kicking the original Gilgamesh's bottom! (Unless they contain the reincarnation of Alan Gowen, of course!)

    Oh dear! In this day and age, don't bands check to see if someone has already used the name? This is the ONE and ONLY Gilgamesh...Canterbury fans also have this problem with Egg usurpers.

    The Japanese band is called 'Girugamesh' or 'ギルガメッシュ'. 'Girugämesh' is just the stylized version for a promotional reason.
