Aye, Gorod is quite the mechanical grind machine.

At times, the band’s music is highly reminiscent of Megadeth, albeit with vocalist Guillaume screaming like a stuck pig over the whole filthy, sick ordeal. During other moments, the band lapse into progressive grind, blasting away intently and at other times, the precision attack of the group’s rhythms highly resemble early Thought Industry. If that doesn’t have your attention, the group can also blow through power metal inspired riffing, with Guillaume barfing out some adequately sick vocals all the while. C

onsider the whiplash inducing, stop-action work of “Smoked Skulls” as Mat and Arnaud team up for some fantastic fretboard burning or the techno-thrashing “Pig’s Bloated Face” is ample evidence that this band can rip with the best of ‘em. All the while, the insane vocal vomiting brings a different type of a dimension to music that is more often associated with more traditional singing sounds, making Gorod a black sheep in a herd of same-sounding mimics. “Gutting Job” features some tasty bass work that shows Ben has the chops to make his subsonic pounding stick, while “Harmony In Torture” gives the listener a severe six string bludgeoning.

Throw in a couple of solid bonus tracks, add it all up and you have yet another highly intriguing, skull-stomping Willowtip release. Grind lovers looking for a change of pace will be kicking each others asses to get a piece of this action.
