Gouge, a Norwegian death metal duo, has burst onto the scene with their debut 7" EP, "Doomed To Death," and they're not here to play around. This is old-school death metal the way it was meant to be, with a raw and unapologetic sound that's sure to resonate with fans of the genre's pioneers. Think of two Norwegians in a garage, making a glorious racket reminiscent of AUTOPSY and fueled by Busch tallboys - that's the essence of Gouge.
For a band that's relatively new to the scene, Gouge demonstrates a remarkable knack for capturing the spirit of early death and thrash metal. Their music conjures memories of TERRORIZER's ferocity, early DEATH's innovation, and the primal energy of REPULSION. The result is an 11-minute onslaught of gore-obsessed, gore-riddled mayhem that's a far cry from the majority of today's death/grind acts.
What's striking about Gouge is their ability to deliver a raw, manic, and energy-boosting performance that feels like you're right there with them, thrashing live in the flesh. The EP's sound production strikes a balance between pure filth and sublime clarity, allowing the furious riffs to hammer into your brain with relentless force.
With their debut 7" EP, Gouge proves that they're part of a new generation of death metal. They bring a refreshing authenticity to the genre, and their future in the world of extreme music looks brighter than ever. So, if you're looking for a sonic experience that's as potent as a hammer blow, as messy as an out-of-control mincer, and as exhilarating as a live performance, Gouge's "Doomed To Death" is your ticket to crimson-drenched ecstasy.
