Unrelenting and unrepentant - such has been the magic of Gorgon for over thirty years. This band is one of the core French black metal acts and their upcoming album, For Those Who Stay is some of their most acerbic work to date. It's hard not to be thrilled by the devastating churn and unrelenting, bizarrely macabre charm of this new album. Wrapping up a trilogy of albums that started with 2019's The Veil Of Darkness, Gorgon find a way to consistently melt your face off for the 11 bloodthirsty tracks that have come to define this album.
For Those Who Stay charms because of its outright stench of evil. Songs like "Despicable Beggars" are blasting paeans to suffering. The tremolo picked firestorm and unrelenting assault that the band brings to the table across For Those Who Stay is delectable and speaks to a group who have a deeper understanding of the genre. It's the kind of understanding that only comes after you've been doing this for a third of a century. Suffice it to say - 7 albums into their career, Gorgon remain great. This is black metal done with a deeper, thrilling understanding of the genre and it's hard to pull yourself away from the devastating and blasphemous vision that Gorgon bring.
Pre-order the album!
