Description
Gorguts - Considered Dead/The Erosion of Sanity
22 track double CD package from Canadian cult technical death metal act Gorguts, featuring their first two classic albums originally released via Roadrunner Records.
CD 1 features their 1991 debut studio album Considered Dead, with two bonus tracks.
CD 2 features the cult classic follow up from 1993, The Erosion Of Sanity, with two bonus tracks.
Formed in Quebec in 1989, Gorguts were the brainchild of Luc Lemay, and initially performed more brutal, traditional death metal, before morphing into one of the leading exponents of ‘technical death metal’ with complex and dense arrangements.
After releasing just one demo in 1990, the band were signed by Roadrunner and released the debut Considered Dead which featured guest appearances from Chris Barnes (Cannibal Corpse/Six Feet Under) and James Murphy (Death, Obituary).
The Erosion of Sanity followed in 1993 after which they were dropped by the label and went on hiatus for five years.
Today Gorguts is considered a massive influence on a whole raft of bands favouring a more technical and obtuse approach. They have been nominated for a Juno award and have received widespread international acclaim.
This release features extensive liner notes from respected journalist Olivier Badin, featuring a lengthy and detailed new interview with Gorguts founder and mainstay Luc Lemay.
