Ed Gein is a political grindcore band from Syracuse, NY, named after American killer, Ed Gein. Each of the members perform vocals equally; there is no lead vocalist. They are currently on Black Market Activities / Metal Blade Records.

Musically, the band takes influence from such bands as Coalesce and Pig Destroyer. The band's lyrics consist of straight and direct-spoken manifestos and messages along with their political and ideological influence. Most of the lyrics are short (about 5-6 lines), and are built from simple vocabulary.

The band released a rough mix of the song entitled "The Spectacle" on April 25, 2010 on their Facebook page after a brief leave of absence.
