Depuis sa création, la trajectoire musicale de Gnod a été marquée par une fluctuation constante née d'un besoin incessant de découvrir de nouveaux mondes sonores. Ayant débuté comme un ensemble de drones chamaniques, comptant parfois jusqu'à 15 membres sur scène, ces premiers rituels ont inspiré les idéaux fondamentaux qui ont défini le groupe au cours de ses années d'activité : la communauté et la répétition induisant la transe.

Le groupe, qui n'a historiquement jamais fait l'apologie d'un genre mais qui, avec chaque disque, a renforcé sa place unique dans la musique véritablement indépendante. C'est exactement le même dévouement à la scène qui a permis à Gnod de devenir l'un des groupes les plus célèbres du Royaume-Uni et qui lui a valu de nombreuses tournées et participations à des festivals dans toute l'Europe.
