Death Metal

Didn't know Gorod had a knew one coming out.  I will definitely check it out. A Maze of Recycled Creeds is a really great album.

Agreed! Very Underrated band imo.

Cool.

Gorod. Proggish French tech death. Anyone a fan? Been spinning Ęthra a bit for a few weeks. Great album. Don't know anything else by them. They have a new one The Orb dropping next week.

Gorod CRUSHES! I have all of their stuff. You need to check out their other stuff! Start with A Perfect Absolution and A Maze Of Recycled Creeds. Cannot wait for the new album. These dudes are top of the tech death genre.

I'm really digging it so will def get on these.

So I've had a couple of listens to the new Gorod, and it is really good.  Like their best album good.  It's a definite album of the year contender for me.  So glad I happened to check this thread and caught wind of this album, or it may have been awhile before this album crossed my radar.

I agree! Though early in the year this will be top of my 2023 list. The Doors cover on the new album is excellent!

I've only heard a few songs so far as I've reached my limit on death metal albums I'm not that familiar with but are in regular rotation at the moment.

Liked what I heard, though. More than a whiff of Mastodon in there?

Had more of The Orb today. Really enjoying it. Not feeling the Masto-whiff I mentioned before, but really good.

EDIT: After more listens - I keep on spinning it, I love this record.

Just popping in here to say I'm really enjoy the latest Gorod too...it's so incredibly...sharp? The guitars on this thing are excellent, they make everything sound kinda catchy even amidst the technical madness.

I see they have quite a few albums in their catalog. Any suggestions on where to go next?

[billboy73]

The Orb is still kicking my ass too.  What a great record!  Lots of great technical, but catchy riffs that are quite memorable.   A Maze of Recycled Creeds is probably my next favorite of their albums, and I also like Process of a New Decline and A Perfect Absolution a lot.
