BIOGRAPHY Founded in Bordeaux (France) in 1997, under the moniker GORGASM, the band finally record its debut full-length album “Neurotripsicks” in 2004 for Deadsun Records. With this CD, they cut a deal with Willowtip Records (US), who decided to re-release “Neurotripsicks” in 2005 with two brand new bonus tracks. At this same moment, the band decided to rename themselves to GOROD to avoid confusion with the Chicago death metal outfit of the same name. The album received a good response from the media and in 2006, the band returned with the much-praised “Leading Vision”. The band then toured over Europe and went to the mighty Maryland DeathFest (USA) and DeathFeast Open Air (D), only to impress and leave the many spectators in awe. At the End of 2008, the band found a new drummer in Sam Santiago just before they entered the studio to record the new opus "Process Of A New Decline". On this album, Sam pushed the band to a new level with his tight, fast and groovy drumming. With this new record, out june 2009, GOROD have cleverly spiced their diamond-cutting technicality. To promote this CD, the band toured Europe with NY death metal legends Immolation (USA) and done several shows and festivals in France 2010, GOROD start the production of its forthcoming EP " Transcendence" including acoustic versions of the band's classics, … they played Neurotic DeathFest and then flew to USA for 2 weeks to play several shows including Midwest Fuckfest and mighty Maryland Deathfest ! Back to France the band hit mainstage at Hellfest and played an incredible show in Paris with Cynic (USA)…GOROD then embarked to a European summer trek with Cattle Decapitation (USA). Right after this tour, Arnaud (guitars) and Guillaume (vocals) left the band for personal reasons… End of 2010, the band welcome Julien "Nutz Deyres, who already toured with the band, on vocals, and, young and talented guitarist, Nicolas Alberny. 2011… "Transcendence" is out… Amazing acoustics versions of old GOROD songs, a Cynic cover, an outstanding progressive, epic 15' song…..a true masterpiece! To promote this new EP, GOROD done a successful 2 weeks French tour with Benighted and Kronos… then hit the road for a month across Europe with talented The Faceless (USA). Fall 2011, the band enter studio to record a new album with crazy and talented french metal producer Frederic "Elmobo" Motte... Out spring 2012, "A Perfect Absolution" brings definitely the band to the top of the genre!! Heavier, more progressive, catchy songs, awesome guest solos by Christian Muenzner (Obscura) and Mike Keene (The Faceless)… GOROD confirm its perfect and unique songwriting. For sure, GOROD is among the most amazing " Progressive Tech Death" bands!! To promote this new album the band had a really successful European tour alongside Obscura, Spawn Of Possession, Exivious that brought definitely GOROD as a must in the genre. "A Perfect Absolution" has been awarded as "Best French metal album of the year" on the #1 french VS Webzine and is listed in many international medias' Top albums of 2012 ! 2013 was on the road !! France, European tour with BoneCrusher Fest , Headlining tour in the United States and Canada, the biggest metal festival in South East Asia : Hammersonic – Jakarta/Indonésia, and a Japanese tour !!... GOROD showed its skills on stage and gained a lot of new fans and respect by international promoters and bands all over the world… End of 2013, GOROD parted ways with drummer Samuel SANTIAGO… The band enlisted long time friend and professional drummer Karol DIERS to bring the band to a new level !! 2014… GOROD is currently writing some new material for a new album… expect some incisive, fresh, mind blowing and open minded new music pretty soon !!! Only few shows, including main support to Morbid Angel on the French dates of their European tour, are scheduled in 2014 to focus on this new masterpiece ! GOROD is still ready to spread its progressive, technical and radioactive songwriting all over the world !!
