Biography
GORGON is a french Symphonic Black / Death Metal band, forged in extreme dark metal, arabic/oriental atmospheres and colossal orchestrations. The band was created in 2013 by the composer and vocalist Paul Thureau. They released their debut album TITANOMACHY in May 2016, produced by swedish mastermind Jens Bogren. In January 2019 GORGON releases its second album ELEGY - a concept album about Women: 8 dark and immersive tracks whom lyrical concept embraces the correlation between the creation of the Universe and the embryo forming in the womb; This album is all about breaking the thin line between dualities, such Science and Spirituality - Alpha and Omega - Life and Death - Women and Men. Every song is unique and has its own story, placing strong symbologies of Women in the center of the storyline: from Eve to Pandora, from Hecate to Virgin Mary. Music-wise, this new studio effort is a very violent yet sensitive work: high tempos, black metal guitar riffing and extreme metal drumming, merging with ancient, melancholic and slow oriental melodies. For this record, producer Jussi Kulomaa, created a dense and powerful mix, that yet manages to feel truly warm and intimate.
