Gnome: Vestiges of Verumex Visidrome Available to Preorder; Out Sept. 13
Chapeaux-clad Belgian troublemakers Gnome are set to release their new album, Vestiges of Verumex Visidrome, in less than two weeks. Polderrecords has preorders up now. I haven’t heard the record yet, but I hope I get to, especially after seeing the band play live at the second day of this summer’s Bear Stone Festival (review here) in Croatia. They were, in short, a hoot, and I’m pretty sure “Golden Fool” — the latest single from their third LP to come — was in the setlist. I had been hesitant in approaching the trio’s second album, 2022’s King (review here), because some of the hype around it turned me off, but after taking that on it was easy to be won over.
“Golden Fool” was preceded by the first streaming track “Old Soul” that was posted in June. Both cuts from Vestiges of Verumex Visidrome, and King for good measure, are streaming below. If you haven’t caught onto these cats yet, it might be a good time. Info from socials:

The Antwerp powertrio Gnome piles riff upon riff on their third release Vestiges of Verumex Visidrome. These normal sized Belgians rip, bang and rumble through a landscape of stoner, prog and heavy metal, inhabited by mythical creatures and full of unexpected twists.
Recorded and mixed at Bear Bites Horse studio in London by the brilliant Wayne Adams, and seasoned to perfection by Larsson Mastering, this album showcases Gnome sounding larger and greasier than ever, all while dripping in a unique blend of silliness and tongue-in-cheek vibes.
Vestiges of Verumex Visidrome is a must for anyone who loves their rock with a sense of humor, but mostly with heroic passion in the quest for the golden riff. Set to drop on Friday, September 13th, 2024, via Polderrecords!
Release show: September 19th at De Studio, Antwerp (BE)
