I RECIEVED THE GORGUTS CD CONSIDERED DEAD ON MY 33TH BIRTHDAY FROM MY GIRLFRIEND STACY AND SHE COULD'NT HAVE GOTTEN ANYTHING BETTER. R.I.P.

This is a classic. For those of you who are self-congratulatory connoisseurs of death metal, Gorguts was breaking new ground before you saw hammered smashed face on Ace Ventura for the first time. These guys are the best at what they do. Obscura can go to hell - Considered Dead and Erosion of Sanity are two albums with a unique sound and skull-smashing musicianship.

look, don't get me wrong. if I'd still own this album I wouldn't sell it again. I'd give it another half star if I could. I got myself this after hearing suffocation (effigy of the forgotten - which I loved) and immolation (that album with the black & white angels fighting - which I sold), and finding the song disincarnated on a Rock Hard sampler. I loved the classical hymn element in that song, which I however missed on the album (can't remember whether the song was on the album or not). Gorguts is belgian classical death metal - because anyone could listen to this album for 30 seconds and say "hmm..this is death metal", however not much more than that. Slightly better than mediocre death metal, despite Morrisound-sounding-sound. Not as good as Suffocation or Obituary, or even Cavalera Brother's Arise by far though. In my opinion anyway. but still a classic.
