This Quebec, Canada-based death metal band, formed by Luc Lemay (vocals), Sylvain Marcoux (guitar), Eric Giguere (bass)and Stephane Provencher (drums), promised great thingson their 1991 debut, Considered Dead, which featured guest spotsfrom the Death guitarist James Murphy and Cannibal Corpse vocalist Chris Barnes.
The Roadrunner Records label had signed the band on the strength of the impressive ...And Then Comes Lividity demo of1990. However, The Erosion Of Sanity failed to make animpact in the midst of the black metal explosion of 1993 and band andlabel parted ways. Gorguts then fell silent for five years, and many fans assumed that they had parted wayspermanently, butsinger Lemay returned in 1998 with a new line-up (guitarist Steeve Hurdle, bass player Steve Cloutier and drummer PatrickRobert), a new contract with theOlympic label and Obscura, which lived up to its title by exploring progressive, almost avantgarde areas to an uncertain response. From Wisdom To Hate, featuring new guitaristDaniel Mongrain, was similarly difficult,but Gorguts are nothing if not persevering.
The band's first demo was never released on CD and the band's classic albums Considered Dead (1991) and The Erosion ofSanity (1993) have been out of print for years now, sowe thought that, Gorguts' fans would enjoy hearing these songs onceagain. Steve MacDonald played on the 1993 and 1995 demo, as well as on Track #18 ("Inoculated Life" - live).Steve is sadlymissed but not forgotten.

Luc Lemay has confirmed in late 2005 that the band doesn't exist anymore and that he and Steeve Hurdle will continueworking on their new project called Negativa. « hide |
