Gelbison is an Australian pop rock band based in Sydney, and featuring the Kahn brothers Edo and Nadav - who also perform in Nations by the river.
The band's first album, 1704, was produced By Ian Ball of the British band Gomez.
Gelbison's second album, See the World, was released in 2004, and also featured Ian Ball on production duties, along with Ben Frost and Gelbison. A number of tracks, including "All the Rage" and "Holy", received significant rotation on Triple J. The album also featured a number well-known artists, such as Ben Lee, Old Man River, Ian Ball, and Luke Steele.
Gelbison severed ties with record label EMI in 2006 and worked on their third album towards the end of 2006 with J Walker of Machine Translations as producer. After recording with J Walker, the band decided to head back into the studio and record a new range of songs with producer Tony Buchen. Core members Edo and Nadav Kahn decided to conclude Gelbison and release these new songs under their new project Kahn Brothers, with their debut album Love Melts Fear released in April 2007 through Shakti/Interia Records.
Gelbison is a mountain in the Lucan Subappennines range of the Apennine Mountains system, with an elevation of 1,705 metres (5,594 ft). It is located in the southern Cilento region of the Province of Salerno, in the Campania region, of southern Italy.
The mountain is within the Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park.
Monte Gelbison is included in the commune of Novi Velia. The western part of the mountain includes several other communes, such as Vallo della Lucania, and ends at the southern Cilentan Coast in the Tyrrhenian Sea .
At its top is the sanctuary of Madonna del Monte Sacro, with a tall cross which is illuminated by night. The sanctuary perhaps occupies the site an ancient temple of the Oenotrians, dedicated to a deity later identified with Hera.
The name derives from a Saracen medieval presence, since it comes from the Arabic "Mount of the Idol", perhaps referring to the ancient sanctuary.
Gelbison may refer to:
The storm is approaching, infernal darkness,
Covered the sun and the night fell.
The Lord of hideous monsters got the mortal,
Grips with the king of light.
Two minds and two bodies clashed with
Each other: Hell and heaven.
Rule, power, axe - it was the
Picture of my king.
He gave us faith in life,
They showed us how to fight with evil.
Now he's gone.
I'm anxious about my life.
I'm anxious about our future.
That's the end. Collapse. Ruin all around.
I'm dazzled by the blaze of fire.
I see the exhaustion of my king slaying,
The lord of shadows. They die together.
Their bodies get smashed against the rocks.
Bloody mortal remains of my kings are
Crying for vengeance.
There's nobody to take revenge.
Rule, power, axe - it was the
Picture of my king.
He gave us faith in life,
They showed us how to fight with evil.
Now he's gone.
I'm anxious about my life.
