Vinyl LP pressing. Named in honor of a giant Mooninite that appeared in Aqua Teen Hunger Force, North Dakota's, Gorgatron, have been turning a lot of heads in the last few years, but these maniacs have been creating crushing death metal since they independently released their debut album, Torturtorium, back in 2010. After some line-up changes, the band self-released sophomore album, Inner Supremacy, in 2015, but it wasn't until the lead up for their 2020 breakout album, Pathogenic Automation, that they began to tour relentlessly, booking DIY runs all around the Midwest. Pathogenic Automation was released through Nuclear Blast's Bloodblast Distribution and received acclaim worldwide. Metal Injection described it as Suffocation-style riff madness, blastbeats, throat-tear from Karl Schmidt = significant synapse destruction here. Continuing their momentum with the 2022 EP, Agony Reborn, once again via Nuclear Blast/BloodBlast Distribution, the band toured 18 countries in support of the release. In regards to the EP, No Clean Singing wrote Prepare for a high-speed battering, coupled with riffing that brays in maddened tones and jitters and squirms in a different manifestation of lunacy, one that seems... insectile. Gorgatron's 4th LP, Sentience Revoked, continues their upward trajectory of brutality and riff mastery. The album is a non-stop aural assault of top quality choice USDM from the beating heart of the US. Elements of tech and brutal death metal are abound, but in clever spurts that never pigeonhole the band to any particular micro-subgenre. Sentience Revoked see the band at their deadliest and most savage and 2024 will see the band spread their pummeling brand of USDM even further across the globe!
