Gorguts is pretty insane and wicked stuff...
"Considered dead" and "The erosion of sanity" are
good death metal albums, but "Obscura" is weird as
progressive death metal can be, if anyone can say such
style exists. Not so dense as Meshuggah's Chaosphere,
but I'd say in the same league of complexity. Sort of metal
music for metal musicians, not for everyone.
The viola part at the end of the "Earthly love" song from
that album creeped the hell out of me the first time I heard it.
"From wisdom to hate"... I must listen to it some more.
Yeap... the guitars are the interesting part in Gorguts music,
but the bass got a good mix level on the albums and it's not
easy work to stick to such insane compositions with a bass.
Steve Cloutier is the bass player.
