Since their formation in 2019, the ascent of Canada?s GUTVOID has been nothing if not meteoric. From their initially digital-only debut EP, Astral Bestiary to the Four Dimensions of Auditory Terror four-way split shared with BLOOD SPORE, COAGULATE, and SOUL DEVOURMENT the following year GUTVOID churned forth a world-eating Metal of Death that duly devoured the listener whole. Still, massive potential lurked, and it arrived with one of the most fully-formed death metal debut albums in 2022?s Durance of Lightless Horizons. Hailed far and wide upon its release and thereafter, Durance of Lightless Horizons simply intensified all the hallmarks of their sound ? heaving, vertigo-inducing, spiraling like tar-thick smoke ? and then sharpened them with a sterling sense of clarity, allowing their yearning, come-hither melodicism to evoke both melancholy and malice. Cementing their status as one of the best still-young death metal entities around, GUTVOID challenge you to stand before their Breathing Obelisk.
