Ghorot Sign to Lay Bare Recordings and King of the Monsters Records; Announce New Album
The upcoming second album from Ghorot — no, I don’t know when it’s out with any further specificity than the “Fall 2023” stated below, and since they don’t I’ll refrain from giving you the title though I will say it’s appropriate for the brutality of the band’s intentions — has been in my possession for a couple hours. That’s barely enough time to skim through it, but in doing so I can confirm what they also say in this signing announcement as regards “fucking brutal.” If you heard 2021’s Loss of Light (review here), you know that’s part and parcel to who they are as a band, but they do seem to wield the caustic with increased lethality, and next time I’m really, really pissed off about some probably inconsequential bullshit and want to smash my face into the fucking wall, I’m looking forward to greeting that impulse with the volume of Ghorot‘s new effort.
Lay Bare Recordings in the Netherlands and King of the Monsters in the US Southwest will handle the release, and just for a refresher, bassist/vocalist Carson Russell doubles in Ealdor Bealu and guitarist/vocalist Chad Remains formerly conjured riffs in Uzala, which remains relevant information even though Ghorot are far more geared toward slow-motion throatripping than either of those outfits. To wit, Loss of Light streams below. Have at it if you’re in that kind of place.
