Gorguts

Gorguts embarked on a very small string of shows to promote their stellar new album ‘Colored Sands,’ stopping at the Palladium in Worcester, Mass., to cap the series of gigs. Revered as one of the most technical and twisted death metal acts to ever grace the genre, the crowd was palpably hot with anticipation for the masters of chaos and lords of dissonance.

At long last! After a 12 year gap between albums and three years of disbandment, Canada’s Gorguts have put together one of the metal underground’s most anticipated comeback albums. In 1998, their groundbreaking album ‘Obscura’ dropped jaws with its over-the-top intricacy and dissonant madness, setting the bar impossibly high along the technical death metal spectrum.  Now, with the help of an all-s

We recently spoke with Gorguts mainman Luc Lemay at length about the band's new album 'Colored Sands.' In our previous interview feature, we learned about the musical approach Lemay took when writing the highly anticipated album, and now here is your chance to learn about the conceptual side.

The return of Gorguts will surely be seen as one of the most meaningful comebacks in death metal history. 12 years since the band unleashed 'From Wisdom to Hate,' a new Gorguts record, 'Colored Sands' was released digitally on Aug. 6.

Luc Lemay is the mastermind behind the seminal death metal band Gorguts. Ever-changing, Gorguts sound has shifted from a more traditional death metal beginning to the technical mastery of 1998's ‘Obscura.' The band released one more album after 'Obscura' before Lemay called it a day and carried on the Gorguts sound in a new band Negativa.

Chimaira deserve some serious props for their latest Death Match win. Although Pantera legend Philip H. Anselmo has a nearly unparalleled legion of hardcore fans, he was unable to throw Chimaira off the path to victory. This marks Chimaira's second Death Match win, bringing the band half-way to becoming immortalized in our Death Match Hall of Fame.

When 12 years worth of anticipation separates a legendary band's most recent album and its upcoming release, it can break a metalhead's blackened heart if the group's new material doesn't deliver. Luckily, for fans of Gorguts, the band's new album 'Colored Sands' sounds like it's going to absolutely rip!

Canadian technical death metal maestros Gorguts have lifted the veil on 'Colored Sands,' the band's highly anticipated new album coming after a 12-year drought.

Some very sad news to report for death metal fans. Steeve Hurdle, who manned the guitar for legendary death metallers Gorguts, has passed away. French-Canadian website coopfuneraireestrie.com posted an obituary for Hurdle, who died from "post-surgical complications" at the age of 41.
