Over 15 years ago, Canadas GORGUTS begun their contribution to this long overlooked genre, showcasing their knack for delivering extremely brutal tunes laced with brilliantly subtle melodies and intelligent arrangements. The result: one of the best-kept secrets in the history of death metal. Their debut album Considered Dead was unleashed in 1991. The album consisted of ten extremely catchy compositions that were not short on intricacy, speed and haunting melodies proof positive that GORGUTS were indeed worthy of their newfound status. Limited edition of 2000 hand-numbered copies.
One has to wonder if French Canadians Gorguts didn't actually intend to name their debut album, 1991's Considered Dead, "Considered Death" (no, not "Deaf"!), as its contents surely embody the purest form of old-school death metal. Or at least old-school death metal as defined by pioneering efforts like Beneath the Remains and Arise from Brazilians Sepultura: hyperfast, very technical, ultrabrutal, but also characterized by healthy injections of melodic guitar harmonies and slower doom sections. More importantly, like Sepultura (but unlike hundreds of also-rans) Gorguts were talented enough to pull this complex death gumbo off convincingly, using the potent double whammy of "Stiff and Cold" and "Disincarnate" to kick start both their album and career in great style. Ensuing eardrum grinders like the title track and "Bodily Corrupted" aren't as immediately successful, but hardly disappoint in the long run, either; and with frequent bright spots continuing to surface throughout the disc (check out the particularly melodic instrumental "Waste of Mortality," the word-inventing "Rottenatomy," and monstrous closer "Inoculated Life," featuring a guest guitar solo from Death legend James Murphy), it's easy to see why Gorguts were considered sure-fire candidates to lead death metal into a bright future. Sadly, the band's record company, Roadrunner, felt otherwise, inexplicably dropping Gorguts after just one more album, and consigning them to a long ramble through the underground metal wilderness before eventually resurfacing, almost unrecognizable, as a death-jazz outfit five years later. Regardless of that, Considered Dead remains a notable, if not exactly groundbreaking example of death metal's glory days. [The 2006 reissue of the album adds two bonus tracks.] ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

| | Immolation Dawn Of Possession CD (1991) (Import) Poland
Considered Dead songs
$12.15 This is the remastered digi version of the Immolation cult debut "Dawn of Possession". Its classic death metal with crushing guitar riffs, furious speed, rage, hollow vocals and ultra heavy, blasting sound! Here are ten sophisticated, intricate compositions performed with magnificent technique and almost unimaginable brutality. The CD is a must for all true death metal maniacs.
Although death metal is a style quite familiar to metalheads worldwide circa the early 21st century, during its early days in the late '80s/early '90s it was a genre still finding an audience and fighting for respect. An early supporter of this style was New York's Immolation, whose debut release, Dawn of Possession, was issued in 1991 via Roadrunner (back ...
| | Gorguts Erosion Of Sanity CD (1993)
Considered Dead album
$12.19 Canadian death metal troupe Gorguts delivered their second album, The Erosion of Sanity, in 1993, and given the general approval accorded their excellent debut two years earlier, expectations for this new effort to supersede it were understandably high. Too high, perhaps, as what initially appeared to be a promising start via the manic flurry of "With Their Flesh, He'll Create" and its more melodically inclined follow-up, "Condemned to Obscurity," soon gave way to a slew of technically astounding but surprisingly featureless death metal songwriting. Other than proving that not even a Franco-Canadian accent can be detected when grunted from the depths of one's bowels, Gorguts vocalist/guitarist Luc Lemay and his crew seemed overly preoccupied with showing off their incredible musicianship to focus on lifting very many outstanding moments above the billowing clouds churned up by their flailing limbs. In the process, new compositions like the title track, "Orphans of Sickness," and "A Path Beyond Premonition" forgo the discreet ...
