Picking up where Colored Sands left off, this release sees Gorguts showcase ominous ambient soundscapes juxtaposed with their off kilter brand of death metal wonderfully. The bass tone is also sharp and tasty, a wonderful addition as practically a lead instrument.

A 33-minute epic journey through suffocating atmospheres with dissonant guitar-bass arrangements, harrowing vocals and Gorguts' unique take on Technical Death Metal. Efforts like this can often be tough to digest but Gorguts do a good job dividing this up into what seem like separate passages traveling from intense death metal to soft, atmospheric almost tribal sections.

32 minutes of dissonant goodness. Gorguts continue in the more atmospheric direction they introduced on Colored Sands. More calm, mellow passages traded off with the typical Gorguts technical Death Metal madness. Luc Lemay just keeps on keeping on.

Hailed as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, technical death metal bands of all time, Gorguts have simply been unable to do much wrong in their history, with their long-awaited comeback album Colored Sands being a rousing success. Pleiades' Dust is essentially a compact version of the aforementioned record, but it's quite good nonetheless. Cascading riffs, slow-burning soundscapes, angular and dissonant guitar playing, and a distant, alien feeling all permeate this thirty-three minute long EP, which acts as one, beautifully flowing piece that never feels choppy or unfocused. Some sections might feel a bit long-winded, but the quality of the EP remains pretty high regardless of what is transpiring during it. Basically, Pleiades' Dust exists to remind us who exactly is in charge here when it comes to this style of tech-death. Because, even after all these years, Gorguts still have it.

I don't think it's quite as good as Colored Sands, but this is still a damn good EP with the final third being the strongest portion.

Gorguts are one of the definitive old-school technical death metal bands. This 33-minute song only goes to prove it.
