FROM METAL CAMP 2012 PROMOTERS:
METALCAMP 2012 - GORGUTS confirmed
This Quebec, Canada-based death metal band, formed by Luc Lemay (vocals), Sylvain Marcoux (guitar), Eric Giguere (bass) and Stephane Provencher (drums), promised great things on their 1991 debut, „Considered Dead“, which featured guest spots from the Death guitarist James Murphy and Cannibal Corpse vocalist Chris Barnes.
The Roadrunner Records label had signed the band on the strength of the impressive „...And Then Comes Lividity“ demo of 1990. However, „The Erosion Of Sanity“ failed to make an impact in the midst of the black metal explosion of 1993 and band and label parted ways. Gorguts then fell silent for five years, and many fans assumed that they had parted ways permanently, but singer Lemay returned in 1998 with a new line-up (guitarist Steeve Hurdle, bass player Steve Cloutier and drummer Patrick Robert), a new contract with the Olympic label and Obscura, which lived up to its title by exploring progressive, almost avant garde areas to an uncertain response. „From Wisdom To Hate“, featuring new guitarist Daniel Mongrain, was similarly difficult, but Gorguts are nothing if not persevering.
In the summer of 2008 Luc decided to do a new record to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the band. The idea for the new line-up came together after the suggestion from longtime partner in crime, Steeve Hurdle. One evening after a NEGATIVA rehearsal, Steeve brought up the fact that 2009 being the 20th anniversary of GORGUTS, it would be nice to give to the fans a new record, which is expected to be released 2012!
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome this legend to the METALCAMP line-up 2012!
METALCAMP 2012 – SODOM confirmed!
Since the 80ies SODOM are considered one of the most important german bands in thrash metal and also play an important role in the world´s metal business. This three-headed thrash monster still shows those youngsters out there how to do it real good, still killing it!
SODOM are more than welcome to devastate METALCAMP´s stage 2012, and they´ll surely do so with their full-blown attack of old-school thrash metal! Beware!
