Gigapus is the tenth studio album by the Australianelectronic music group Severed Heads. Recorded between 1992 and 1994, the album was first released in 1994 with a bonus CD-ROM disc titled Metapus that had additional multi-media content on it. Because of this, it is the first album released in Australia to include a CD-ROM disc.[2] Due to the extra disc, the album was initially priced at $40 when it first came out.[3] As with most of the Severed Heads discography, the album has been reissued multiple times.
