Gorguts. Colored Sands (CD)

GORGUTS, one of death metals most revered and influential bands, has returned! From their beginnings as one of the most-acclaimed bands in the genre’s first wave, through their growth into a unique and wildly-progressive entity, the Montreal-based quartet has cast a long shadow of influence over extreme metal that reverberates to this day. On their brand-new full-length ’Colored Sands’, their first new album in almost twelve years, the band (helmed by founder Luc Lemay) builds off the groundwork laid by its earth-shattering, genre-milestone ‘Obscura’ (’98). New tracks like “Forgotten Arrows” and “Absconders” showcase Lemay’s distinct playing and approach to composition, and prove that ‘Colored Sands’ is death metal of the highest order.
