GOROD have announced a brand new album! The French progressive technical death metal band have announced their new album The Ember Gone, which is scheduled to be released on August 28th via Base Productions and Season of Mist. The album follows on from 2023’s The Orb and sees the Bordeaux band continue to push their progressive and technical sound forward.
Entirely self-produced at Bud Studio by guitarist and principal songwriter Mathieu Pascal, before being mixed and mastered by David Thiers at Secret Place Studio, The Ember Gone intends to mark a return to the progressive spirit of 2011’s Transcendence while exploring new territory through groove, atmosphere and layered arrangements.
Speaking on the new album, guitarist Mathieu Pascal comments, “we are undoubtedly delivering the most singular album in our discography. As we are always driven by the desire not to repeat ourselves, to evolve, and to keep surprising people, we sought new ways to express ourselves through different musical vocabularies than those traditionally associated with extreme metal. This album is freer and more open, yet without compromising the complexity and richness of the songwriting, which will always remain the band’s trademark.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, you can view the track list for the upcoming new album below:
01. Signs
02. Devise
03. Forgiveness
04. Regret
05. Crimson
06. Ignite
07. Ember
08. Remains
Gorod presents "Forgiveness": a nearly 8-minute short film on the era of fire directed by Sébastien Duattis.The title explores the theme of the Pyrocene through the eyes of a father, torn between the regret of leaving behind a world consumed by flames and the weight of his own responsibility. Musically, this is our most progressive work to date: a synthesis where Gorod’s technicality meets epic structures and sonic territories the band has never explored before.
Alongside the announcement, GOROD have also announced a co-headlining European and UK tour this September with ALLEGAEON, with support coming from ABYSMAL DAWN.
