0 The Killchain Blog – Gomorrah – The Haruspex (Test Your Metal Records)

Gomorrah are a Canadian three piece that plays crushing deathcore/death metal, laden with strange tones and riffing. Taking cues from the oddness of fellow Canadians Gorguts and Ulcerate, Gomorrah’s ‘The Haruspex’ is an album full of alien melodies and devastating brutality.

0 Bravewords – Gomorrah – The Haruspex (Test Your Metal Records)

So the vibe is there right off the bat, and the sonics deliver as well, the tunes occupying a nice sweet spot between Suffocation-influenced and Unique Leader-bound, stopping to hang out in tech-death land and brutal DM world for a bit along the way. Toss in an obvious respect for a heavy groove, and Gomorrah manage to touch on a surprising number of death metal sounds here.

Gomorrah:

A dark and aggressive mix of everything that is unrelentingly heavy. Elements of black metal, technical metal, death metal, industrial and even a dollop of groove…and much more.

0 Lords of Metal – GOMORRAH – The Haruspex (Test Your Metal Records)

Gomorrah actually touches the best of both worlds, by blending that with death metal and at the same time they are distinctive enough in the spectrum of other blackened death metal bands to form an entity of their own.

0 Metal Underground Austria – GOMORRAH – The Haruspex (Test Your Metal Records)

Die Arrangements sind geradezu perfekt getroffen. Gomorrah schaffen hier knapp über eine halbe Stunde absolut düstere und dunkle Atmosphäre. Die Instrumente werden an deren Grenzen gebracht und die Stimmbänder des Intonisten werden geschunden ohne Ende.

0 Trebuchet-Magazine – Gomorrah – The Haruspex (Test Your Metal Records)

This is direct, no-frills, face punching death metal, underpinned with an eerie electronic tinge, and with the polished sheen of a mass murderer’s razor blade. As tracks like “Carcosa” demonstrate, this works very well, the end result sounding brutal and addictive in equal measure.

Guitarist Bowen Matheson comments on the album:

“Jeff Bryan and I recorded the album at my home here in the Okanagan Valley, and we did the absolute majority of the writing in the pre-production and production stages. So much of the material had existed from several years ago, but was completely overhauled and reworked several times to end up in these tracks. We weren’t afraid to try things out and work over several revisions, or to take our hands off of a few of the songs that we felt very comfortable with after only the first revision. Jeff wrote the lyrics for the tracks in less than two months, and a lot of them were written and finalized in the vocal tracking stage, in front of the microphone.

We weren’t afraid to enable our music with production techniques. Many reviews have figured that we used samples or synthesizers in the songs, however the reality is that all of these droning noises, stutters, and otherwise ‘industrial’ sounds are actually either electric guitar or bass guitar, and abusing these instruments in front of their amplifiers with only two guitar effect pedals. The rest of these noises you hear are the interaction with the instrument and their environment.

We then delivered all of the tracks to Stuart McKillop of Rain City Recorders for mixing, and he blew us away. It didn’t take him long at all to catch onto what we were going for, and his consistency from one track to the next brought the tracks to the highest musical apex they could reach. Brad Boatright of Audiosiege handled the mastering, and he made certain that the product was of the outstanding final production quality for us. Brad has really yielded an outstanding quality for so many other abrasive sub-genres of metal and hardcore and he delivered that exact pinnacle of quality for us on this record as well.” – Bowen Matheson

About:

GOMORRAH, originally formed in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia as a black metal outfit in 2006, has now grown into an assaulting death metal band – ready to unleash their boundary-pushing extreme sound on their second full-length album. The forthcoming album ‘The Haruspex’ is to be released on January 15, 2016 on Canadian label Test Your Metal Records.

“We have stepped up the quality of everything: the pre production, writing, structuring, lyrics, performances, mix and master have all been improved. The combination of those improvements translates to a major difference between our previous recordings, and the single “A Disaster’s Nightmare” – as well as our forthcoming full-length ‘The Haruspex’. Improvement, through effort and time.” Comments guitarist Bowen Matheson.

Their name is associated with a historical reference to a city mentioned in the Book of Genesis, the Qur’an and Hadith, the Torah, and the New Testament. The bands music conveys a claustrophobic animosity, through punishing guitar work, high-speed drumming, and guttural vocals. The lyrics provide an accessible gateway into the stories told in each song.

Gomorrah has shared the stage with Suffocation, Cryptopsy, Archspire, Ancients, Striker, Origin, Beyond Creation, King Parrot, Ninjaspy, KenMode, Bison BC, The Agonist, Fuck The Facts, The Order of Chaos, Slumlord, and Fall City Fall.
