GORGUTS "Obscura" 9/26/98 San Francisco, CA

[nixeverafter]

One of the most weird Metal riffs I've ever heard. Excellent.

[geragna]

1:02 This sounds like shit. Anybody else thinking of south park here? lol

[matochiba]

Big Steeeve!!!

[knifefuck]

FUCKEN AMAZING ALBUM! underrated band. good see they are back and their new shit sounds good too. can't go wrong with longstreth behind the kit either.

[pud]

One of the most underrated bands of all time. It's not even death metal -- it's beautiful, chaotic musical poetry. I think their name & early 90's death metal roots hold them back, commercially.

[redshaftedflicker]

@pud agreed. I got obscura pretty much as a joke due to the Gorguts name and soon found out that the real joke was on myself. one of the most amazing heavy records ever. big steeve's tha man.

[IMBACHABRI]

Best line up

Why Steve (bassist) left the band?

[TheIronMegadeth]

0:18 fart?

[Elohim53142]

Christ in hell, Steeve's (second guitarist) vocals are TERRIBLE. Luc should have been the only one singing on Obscura.

[HooligannSTR]

@Elohim53142 Can't agree man, his vocals sound awesome to me. Reminds me of At the Gates' TRITSIO vocals, which I love

[ghfghf3145]

hell symphony

[DeathMetal6907]

hmmm lemay has a weird style of tap picking he doesn't use his fret hand to fret notes but he looks like he's muting the strings with his hand and tapping open notes

[CountShadow]

@DeathMetal6907 Yeah, that's it. Because he mutes the strings this tapping solo sounds very unorthodox.

[bengott1234]

Compared to most other Gorguts live shit, this video RULES.

[supercoolsephirothis]

It's so much better when the video's visual quality is shit compared to the audio quality.

[BilloRaptor]

Amazing. For me, and I love all types of music and a wide variety of metal 'genres' - the greatest album ever released. Nobody has ever thrown the rule book out th window quite like they did with Obscura - it still blows my mind to this day. Many bands try to be 'dark' or 'evil' - much to comedic effect. Obscura manages to be intelligently unhinged and genuinely psychotic whilst always being in full control of absolute chaos. There is no other album like it, nor will there ever be in the future.

[Topographic0ceans]

@BilloRaptor Yes.... this is the standard by which I compare all metal to.

[PhoenixOfAscendance]

@Topographic0ceans - and a high standard it is... :)

[Topographic0ceans]

@PhoenixOfAscendance OHHHHHH YEAH

[Topographic0ceans]

@BilloRaptor i could write paragraphs more, but fuck that damn bro you said a mouthful

[Bassbait]

@BilloRaptor I'd say Cryptopsy continued this style with their album "Once Was Not". That album is bizarre. I agree that this album is fantastic, but I think the most genuinely psychotic albums are this, "Dahmer" by Macabre, "Alien" by Strapping Young Lad, and "Once Was Not" by Cryptopsy.

Honorable mention to "Deconstruction" by the Devin Townsend Project.

[awsedr996]

could you upload the live version of earthly love? please. :)

[78hiwatts]

god damn Luc Lemay is a beast

[ADEZK]

fuck it!! if i had this live dvd i would just share it with everyone!!... fuck who ever uploaded this xD

GORGUTS 4 LIFE!

[Thunderhorse761]

Wow aside from crappy recording of the camera, sounds just like the album.

[matteodh]

I love Gorguts, one of the best death metal bands of all time

[DrFaustus314]

I fucking agree vecio ahah

[codfury]

holy fuck i want this

[Pandem9]

that was fucking brutal

[bruno6]

I want the whole bootleg!!

[MrRivethead]

A lot of bands owe it to Gorguts and Disincarnate for the modern odd time signature deathmetal.With out these guys there probably wouldn't be a Job for a cowboy or white chapel and band's like that.

[abysmalfiend]

sick! the most underrated death metal band full stop. the fact that luc has revived the band is best news i've heard in a while

[TroalAnne]

FUCKING AWSUM MORE GORGUTS PLZ

[iamqqqqqqq]

The vocals sound perfect live, wow

[Buzzybros]

Ridiculous \m/
