Gorgonchrist are a band from the United Kingdom that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a mixture of black, sludge metal, crust and grindcore and this is a review of their self released 2023 album "Fish In A Mountain" which will b e released in march.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the slower sections of the songs bring in elements of sludge metal. Vocals are mostly black metal screams along with all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them and the mid tempo sections of t he songs are heavily rooted in crust punk.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while spoken word parts can also be heard briefly on a couple of the songs. Growls can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with the music also showing an influence of old school grindcore at times and when t he music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard, clear vocals are also added on a couple of tracks and the whole recording also sticks to a heavier direction.
On this recording Gorgonchrist moves away from the industrial elements of their previous release and goes for more of a mixture of b lack, sludge metal, crust punk and grindcore. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover horror and humor themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Gorgonchrist and if you are a fan of black, sludge metal, crust punk and grindcore, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Fellowship Of The Christ" "Dick Pic Graveyard" "Questions Form A Victorian Mortuary" and "Lonely Wanker". 8 out of 10.
