Gorguts Announce 2025 North American Tour With Death To All

Gorguts Announce 2025 North American Tour With Death To All

Celebrating the Anniversaries of Spiritual Healing & Symbolic

New album from dissonant death metal pioneers expected in 2026

After more than a decade since their last classic entry, Gorguts are finally returning to the studio. As they prepare to record the full-length follow-up to the critically acclaimed Colored Sands, the Canadian pioneers of technical dissonance are sharpening their axes by celebrating two of death metal’s biggest landmarks. This fall, the band are touring North America with Death to All in commemoration of the 35th anniversary of Spiritual Healing and the 30th anniversary of Symbolic.

“It is with great honor that we’ll be sharing the stage with these death metal monuments”, Gorguts’ vocalist and guitarist Luc Lemay says. “Death had such an important influence on me as an artist. It’s the band that made me want to become a death metal musician. Chuck was my idol, my inspiration. See you on stage. Be prepared for an evening of classic death metal!”.

North Dakota death dealers Phobophilic will join Gorguts and Death to All on this month-long celebration.

Death to All is the touring tribute to the late Chuck Schuldiner and his pioneering band Death. The band includes drummer Gene Hoglan and guitarist Bobby Keolble, who both played on Death’s album Symbolic. It also includes bassist Steve DiGiorgio, who played on Human and with Hoglan on Individual Thought Patterns. Max Phelps (Exist, ex-Cynic) rounds out the line-up on vocals and guitar.

“30 years of Symbolic and 35 years of Spiritual Healing“, says Hoglan. “Two vastly different yet important eras of Death. Both albums are going to be a blast to represent”. Gorgut’s latest LP Colored Sands and most-recent EP Pleiades’ Dust are both now available through Season of Mist.

Origin: Montréal , CA
Style: Dissonant Technical Death Metal

Few extreme bands can boast the pedigree of GORGUTS. During their early days as part of death metal’s first wave, they created a legacy of legendary releases including their debut album ‘Considered Dead’ (1991) and its more experimental and technical follow-up ‘Erosion of Sanity’ (1993). After a hiatus of five years, Luc Lemay returned with a new line-up, which released the highly acclaimed and seminal third full-length ‘Obscura’ (1998). By then GORGUTS had been busy at expanding and redefining the language of death metal. With a new line-up that left Lemay as the sole original member, the next milestone album was released under the title ‘From Wisdom to Hate’ (2001).

Yet again the band went into hibernation, while their musical legacy continued to inspire and thrive as their native Quebec became a focus for technical death metal with acts such as CRYPTOPSY, NEURAXIS, and BEYOND CREATION to name but a few following in their footsteps. After more than a decade of silence, mastermind Luc Lemay unleashed ‘Colored Sands’ (2013) with an all-star line-up including Colin Marston (BEHOLD THE ARCTOPUS), Kevin Hufnagel (DYSRHYTHMIA), and John Longstreath (ORIGIN, SKINLESS), who has in the meantime been replaced by Patrice Hamelin (QUO VADIS, BENEATH THE MASSACRE).

When it comes to GORGUTS, you have to expect the unexpected. In an age of a postulated clash of cultures, mastermind Luc Lemay delivered Pleiades’ Dust, a piece of music that is conceptually and lyrically based on the “House of Wisdom”, a medieval library based in Baghdad and at the heart of the Golden Age of Islam with its many scientific breakthroughs in various fields of learning. As Luc comments: “It is a story about curiosity, beautiful minds and sadly, about how man destroys great discoveries and achievements.” Musically there is more narrative feeling as each section is introduced in such a way that every riff has the space to evolve like a character in a story.
