Killing songs: not really
Gorguts are coming from the Death Metal underground
scene. The result of their first album Obscura was
kind of a fascination in the death scene. Now with From
Wisdom To Hate we will see what the reaction will be.
So to keep it straight and painless: Gorguts are
for me with From Wisdom To Hate a cheap Morbid
Angel copycat. The voice is pretty close to David Vincent's
style. Even the atmospheric parts you can find in Domination
are here taken as intro. It sounds like the whole album
is based on a song, lets say one of the most famous because
of its brilliant clip: God Of Emptiness.
The rhythmic section is quiet repetitive and boring: sometimes
slow and heavy and sometimes heavy and slow with just a
few faster parts. And this believe me is pretty boring because
8 songs in 40 minutes in means 5 minutes for almost each
song it is quiet too long for this style. All the aggressiveness
and brutality is gone...
It is quiet ok to develop a fascination and respect for
a cult band like Morbid Angel but in fact Gorguts
are loosing their identity or maybe trying to find one.
From Wisdom To Hate was a very boring thing to me
and I haven't learned much new by listening to it ...
