Lorenzo The hefty and dire atmosphere is perfectly accentuated by that melodic guitar tone that weaves its way through each sprawling track adding clarity and beauty. However, it is all ripped down and muddied by the sinister vocals, which are that gravelly deep tone that befits both death and doom so wonderfully.

The pacing and song lengths on this album are spot on, and it again hits that sweet spot between both genres. When it veers into some more sludgy or brutal points, it is absolutely crushing.

brainjuice85 Absolutely crushing death/doom. This particular genre can be a samey and repetitive, but Gutvoid delivers on both creativity and heaviness. Brooding, imposing, and soul crushing metal.

For fans of Hooded Menace or Worm. Favorite track: In Caverns It Lurks.

mourner Give a warm welcome to Gutvoid's debut. I have been eagerly waiting for this and am so glad it's finally here and turned out this good. The sound of their doom death metal is like a wellness weekend for the ears of a death metal fan. Their riffs are as huge as the atmosphere of their songs. Favorite track: Delivered To The Altar Lich.

about

BLOOD HARVEST RECORDS is proud to present GUTVOID's highly anticipated debut album, Durance of Lightless Horizons, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette formats.
The CD and tape versions will be released on September 23rd, 2022.
The double-vinyl version will follow in January, 2023.

Formed in 2019, the ascent of Canada's GUTVOID has been nothing if not meteoric. The Toronto natives digitally released their debut EP, Astral Bestiary, later that autumn and came to the attention of BLOOD HARVEST, who then released it physically in 2020. And for good reason: ominously swarming, GUTVOID churned forth a world-eating Metal of Death that duly devoured the listener whole. More than being a three-song/24-minute soundworld unto itself, Astral Bestiary was a statement of intent from a bold-yet-pure DEATH METAL band.

Continuing that momentum was the even-bolder "Forbidden City Beneath the Crypt" digital single later in 2020, and the absolutely gelatinous Four Dimensions of Auditory Terror four-way split shared with BLOOD SPORE, COAGULATE, and SOUL DEVOURMENT, underlining GUTVOID's slimy, mind-mangling roots. The stage was thus set for the inevitable full-length debut...

And now it arrives bearing the ominous title Durance of Lightless Horizons. Immediately, this titanic recording bears the hallmarks of the still-fresh GUTVOID sound: heaving, vertigo-inducing, spiraling like tar-thick smoke. And yet, the sterling sense of clarity the quartet only hinted at before takes full flight here; Durance of Lightless Horizons entices and then entrances the listener with a yearning, come-hither sort of melodicism underpinned by both melancholy and malice. That the execution has somehow tightened up even more - truly, GUTVOID's chops were exemplary before - allows these doom-drenched ruminations to cut sharper than ever, giving even the most stuck-in-quicksand passages to impart palpitating movement. But, rest assured that the songwriting across Durance of Lightless Horizons is an ever-so-patient one; linear to the very end, each passage conveys its sensation and then slithers into the next with a grace quite at odds with such a gutted sound.

It is not hyperbole to suggest that Durance of Lightless Horizons is one of the most fully-formed death metal debuts in recent memory. To celebrate its grand arrival, BLOOD HARVEST will also be doing a limited run of Ancient Bestiary on vinyl with the previously digital-only "Forbidden City Beneath the Crypt" included as bonus. This is indeed the year of GUTVOID.

If you can call a band OSDM while recognizing they’ve clearly transcended the category, then I will love that band. I love this band. Some of the best songwriting of any musical era or genre. Just masterful. Every new release is an artistic spectacle that compares with your favorite albums, musicals, or films. They’re becoming one of my all time favorites. Metallurgical Fire
