Ghorot Announce Tour Dates & New Album Recording Plans
As will happen pretty much every year, the lineup for Crucial Fest in Salt Lake City this August is smokin’, and it includes Boise-based trio Ghorot, who also toured the West Coast last Fall in order to promote their 2021 debut album, Loss of Light (review here). That was a nine-day stretch in the Northwest and this is nine days in the Southwest, so there’s perhaps some indicator of how much touring the band will do on any given run, but one way or the other, like that last tour, they’ve got some good shows with killer acts — Denver with Velnias walks by and waves — and word that they’re getting ready to record their second album, with Andy Patterson no less, is certainly welcome too. One imagines they’re playing new songs on the road, and I’m sure I won’t be the first one to tell you that’s how you do it. Walk right off stage and into the studio.
Safe travels and kick ass to the band. Not a doubt in my mind they’ll trip it up at the shows and then make sure it’s dead in the studio with Patterson at the helm. If you’re not looking forward to that record yet, you probably should be.
The following dates came from the internet. I asked bassist/vocalist Carson Russell for a quote to go with, just something to make it more than a post cut and pasted from social media — they call it “value added content” in a corporate world I’m so, so, so happy I no longer inhabit — and he dropped the notice of the new recording, so there you go. Sometimes it’s good to ask, even if it means you have to wait an extra couple minutes (that were being waited anyway) to put the post up. Lesson probably not learned.
Info:
Ghorot rides through the Southwest US this August!! Where will we see you on our path of destruction?
“Ghorot is bringing the blackened doom-metal punishment to the Southwest US this August,” says bassist/vocalist Carson Russell “We’re thrilled to be hitting a bunch of new cities on our path to Crucial Fest 11 in Salt Lake City. Following the festival, Ghorot will be remaining in SLC to record our sophomore full-length album at The Boar’s Nest with legendary engineer Andy Patterson. PREPARE THYSELF.”
