Gorguts

SATELLITE

Canada · formed 1989 · last active 2016

Gorguts is a Canadian extreme-metal band formed in Sherbrooke, Québec in 1989 around founder Luc Lemay, and one of the acts that turned death metal toward dissonant, atonal, structurally complex 'avant-garde' territory (notably on 1998's Obscura and 2013's Colored Sands). Their experimentalism lives inside the death-metal idiom rather than in cross-genre blending, pairing technically demanding writing with harsh, jagged harmony. The reunion lineup drew in New York avant-metal figures Kevin Hufnagel and Colin Marston.
