Gorod is a technical death metal band that, if you have not heard, you should listen to. After the teaser for the upcoming EP was released, I eagerly awaited the official release. There was quite a lot to anticipate really: acoustic interpretations of two great songs from the first two albums, a Cynic cover, a new 15-minute song, and a less exciting re-recording of "Earth Pus." Was Transcendence worth the wait? In the end, almost as much as I expected.

!J.O.O.E.! Account deleted	Permalink 29.05.2011 - 19:46 !J.O.O.E.! Account deleted People do travel to other countries to see bands you know. I know plenty of people who are obsessed enough to travel thousands of miles to see their favourite bands so it's not impossible, I'm considering buying System of a Down tickets to go see them in Paris (off ebay), even if the voters here are probably full of shit. DaveoftheGrove is quite clearly a vote abuser. Loading...

Being and Time Posts: 53	Permalink 28.06.2011 - 04:07 Being and Time Posts: 53 Transcendence (the track) is pretty good. The structure is fantastic with a nice coda towards the end and an even better climax. While I prefer Gorod in smaller packages (4-6 minutes) and find this to be generally exhausting and a little scattered, fans are obviously impressed that Gorod A: maintains the Leading-Vision groove throughout the song (that maybe lacked in POAND) and B: go through as many successful ideas as they did in the song. Structure was nice and the motifs are riveting. Textures was decent as well. I love how they can make it fit their own sound. Loading...
Valaskjalf Account deleted	Permalink 04.07.2011 - 20:04 Valaskjalf Account deleted Fantastic stuff....The title track is just about the best metal song Ive heard in the last few years, only pity is that since "Process of a New Decline" this still is only an EP and only 1 real new song since that release. Just made me crave a new PROPER album even more! Loading...
