  • Gorguts To Begin Recording Their New Album Around March

    During a recent interview with Capital Chaos TV, Gorguts guitarist/vocalist Luc Lemay offered an update on the band’s upcoming album. According to him, the band are planning to start the recording process for the effort around March.

    Lemay said the following about the creative process:

    “I was telling myself, as soon as we’re back from that [North American] CANNIBAL [CORPSE] tour that we did [with MAYHEM and BLOOD INCANTATION] two years ago, ‘I’m gonna start writing again.’ And I was really in the right headspace and I felt I had something to say. And I kind of hit myself on the head a bit with this — why do I take these breaks? But sometimes my mind is just not into it. I like to do a million things all the time. But when we came back from the CANNIBAL tour, I started to [think], ‘Okay. What would be the style of this record?’ So I was trying to get a new aesthetic together, but I just couldn’t find anything interesting to spark me up. And then I said, ‘Hey, what if I take ingredients from all the records?’ ‘Cause I hadn’t [written] a riff with tremolo picking and thrash beats since [1993’s] ‘Erosion [Of Sanity]’. That’s a long time. So what about writing riffs like that again? And then I started blending this with dissonant riffs and everything, and then, wow, it gave something really new. You recognize the band right away, but it’s very different from all the other records. So, that was the creative process for this one. So I’m very excited for this one.”

    He also added the following about studio plans:

    “We should go maybe March-ish or something. We still need to talk about this. But the music, all the music has been done for a while now. And it takes me a lot of time. I have a lot of reading [to do] to find the concept, ’cause I like doing concept records. So it took me a long time to find the topic. But just before this tour, I stumbled against a few topics and I was, like, ‘This is very interesting.’ So that’s been in my mind since. So, I got my topic I want. So I’m very inspired by it. So, it’s gonna be cool.”
