Gorguts - Earthly Love

Quite brutal music, this is. Switch off now if you don't want a heart attack.

Gorguts were a technical death metal band from Quebec City, Canada.

Gorguts were formed in 1989 by Luc Lemay (vocals and guitar), Sylvain Marcoux (guitar), Éric Giguère (bass) and Stephane Provencher (drums). They released their first demo, ...And Then Comes Lividity, in 1990 which led them to be signed to Roadrunner Records. Their first album, Considered Dead, featured guest appearances by James Murphy (a guitar solo on "Inoculated Life") and Chris Barnes (backing vocals on "Bodily Corrupted," "Rottenatomy," and "Hematological Allergy").

Lemay, the only remaining original member, returned in 1998 on Olympic Records with a new line-up consisting of Steeve Hurdle (guitar); Steve Cloutier (bass); and Patrick Robert (drums). This lineup released the album Obscura, which explored progressive and avant-garde territory. Obscura is a complex album with multi-layered dissonant harmonies and the lengths of the individual riffs can make their patterns difficult to pick out on a first listen. Gorguts' approach to harmony, rhythm and structure made Obscura an important technical death metal album.

LYRICS:

Flesh the feeble flesh confines the pain and soul
Vault in which, the earthly way, i bear
Earthly Love my denial
Tears as a gift upon my mirror
Bright...the pureness of the unperpetual
The meaningless heat of flesh, I ignore
Reflection of betrayal
Fear as a gift, a creeping splendor

Flows of ecstasies within the succubus
The carnal healings of the soul
Earthly form of illusion
Flesh, my desires a living radiance
Must of ecstasies the mankind's incubus
The carnal addictions of the soul
Concrete form of sorrow
Impure malignant indignation

In my dreams, earthly love seems so bright
I my nights, earthly love I deny

Earthly love... carnal bliss
Which I'll have inside of me until my end.

Flesh the feeble flesh confines the pain and soul
Vault in which, the earthly way, I bear
Bright... the pureness of the unperpetual
The meaningless heat of flesh, I ignore
Reflection of betrayal
Fear as a gift, a creeping splendor

Earthly love... carnal bliss
Which I'll have inside of me 'till my end.

(I know it's not the right lyrics... I'll update it when I find out the lyrics.)

its fucking hilarious how 20% of the commenters here do not, can not, and will not ever "get" gorguts, and so dismiss it as juvenile. HAR HAR HAR, fucking idiots.

[Dick3ClarkAss]

@LEMONS4R3PRETTYGOOD oh golly, that gave me a healthy chuckle

[LEMONS4R3PRETTYGOOD]

I found out a funny thing just in 10 seconds. Random "Arsonists Get All the Girls" (deathcore band) video has 500k views, while Gorguts have only 77k views. I always thought people knew Gorguts more than that deathcore band but deathcore tag speaks for itself. That's what people appreciate nowadays.

[Onsube]

They call this technical death metal because it's TECHNICALLY music.

[Haloman777]

Theres nothing really to deep or complex to understand here. These are guy are just expressing themselves musically and some people like me happen to enjoy it.

[didorins]

Someone turn off that vacuum cleaner.

@crucialgordon

That's because they can't, will not and never will play any instrument in their sad little lives! Me, I think Gorguts and the new Pestilence are fucking tits!!!
