Thou are touring with Wolves In The Throne Room. The material they've put out this year is apparently quite impressive, and although I haven't checked it out yet, if it's anything like last year's Summit, then great things are expected.

Gorguts


Track: Nostalgia
Artist: Gorguts
Album: Obscura
Genre: Experimental Death Metal
Similar Artists: Ulcerate, Immolation, Baring Teeth


I saw Gorguts. It was rad. Certainly the best death metal show I've seen in a good long while. The venue was tiny, and the crowd was comprised of a tiny but dedicated fan base.

Obscura is my favourite Gorguts album. I love the production, the odd & innovative guitar-work,the direction they decided to take the band at this point, and it features my favourite Canadian vocal performance. An obscure death metal classic-pun sort of intended.

------------
Demo Material is ace too. Gorguts may just be the most consistent band in the genre, and yes, I am including Immolation.


Track: . . .And Then Comes Lividity (intro) + Haematological Allergy

Nww YOB album! Just saw them live about a week ago, amazing show. Never thought I'd see the day when I would experience a YOB show. Anyways, the new album is pretty good! The Unreal Never Lived still remains my favourite album of theirs.
