Review: Gorod – A Perfect Absolution
GOROD
A Perfect Absolution (2012)
France, Listenable Records, Technical Death Metal
In my opinion, Gorod is a leading technical death metal group. They fits easily in twenty of my favorite bands, and so it is since the release of “Neurotripsicks”, under the name of Gorgasm. “A Perfect Absolution” is already fourth release from them. Speaking of which that isn’t too innovative or that it is a “typical” tech death it’s a bit of misunderstanding. Boys show a remarkable tumbling by the whole 40 minutes. They cleverly juggle between brutal vocals and melodic solos. They’re breaking the tempo in various critical points of compositions and at different time intervals. This is a very controlled, technical art of writing metal that has all the characteristics of universality and influences of other genres. These include, among other things – progressive metal (see “Carved In The Wind”) and neo-classical death metal (eg, “Elements and Spirit”). We can also find some jazzy moments but nothing significant.
