I gotta listen to this, if not only for the fact that they come from fucking ÅLAND of all places. This is a collection of islands in between Sweden and Finland with a population of only 25.000 people where everyone speaks swedish, but it's an autonomous region belonging to Finland.. It is a stopgap for big tourist boats so that they can legally sell tax free items to people from Finland and Sweden.

Dear fans,

It’s with so much joy and happiness that I write these lines to you. The past 2 years haven’t always been smooth sailing regarding this last record. A lot of legal, important factors, far from music composition have held this project in standby, but finally that’s all behind us now. The least I can say is that I cannot wait to share these last compositions with each of you.

Everything from writing these new songs, traveling to NYC for rehearsals developing a new friendship with John, Kevin and Colin, three of the most talented people I ever jammed with……everything from this project was beyond stimulating artistically.

From this experience was born a new GORGUTS record, a concept record which is going to last over an hour. An hour of epic, ambient, dark music which doesn’t compromise its Death Metal roots. As a composer, by exploring different kind of music, it was always my goal to integrate the same writing tools in Death Metal as if I would be writing a piece of chamber music for instance.

Also, for the first time, I’ve waited for the music to be finished before I even write a single word. It took me a long time to elaborate this concept. Not that I had to create a story from square one, I had to educate myself by reading many books, so I knew what I was talking about. Not from an historian point of view, but enough so I can express myself clearly on this topic and write an epic story.

As far as production goes we’ve worked with my long time friend: Pierre Rémillard who recorded OBSCURA (1998), FROM WISDOM TO HATE (2001) and even the band’s very first demo in 1990. The mixing duties will be handled by Colin at is own Menegroth, the thousand caves Studio.

Well, I’m really eager to share this new record with you! All I can say is that the wait is over and that 2013 will be a great year for GORGUTS. Thanks to each of you for your endless support since the very beginning and your endless patience for this record to be released!!!!! Without you none of this would be possible.

Thank you from the heart,

Sincerely,

Luc Lemay

I sort of think it might be good

i heard this the other day





this is the worst fucking shit drumming i've heard this side of lars ulrich

god fucking damn it this guy just straight up butchers these songs

absolutely NO feeling or groove, bad sense of tempo, doesn't know the parts, tasteless, boring, shit

if this is the guy who is playing on the album (replacing bill fuckin ward) then it is already trash

Ugh that is terrible. If they couldn't work it out with Bill Ward, they should have at least tried to get Appice
 
Brad Wilk from RATM is playing on the record, according to reports. i think the guy playing in the vids is Ozzy's guy.

okay then

i really dislike ratm a lot but i'm sure he can't be a worse drummer than whoever the fuck this guy above is
