After more than a decade since their last classic entry, Gorguts are finally returning to the studio. As they prepare to record the full-length follow-up to the critically acclaimed Colored Sands, the Canadian pioneers of technical dissonance are sharpening their axes by celebrating two of death metal’s biggest landmarks. This fall, the band are touring North America with Death to All in commemoration of the 35th anniversary of Spiritual Healing and the 30th anniversary of Symbolic.
“It is with great honor that we’ll be sharing the stage with these death metal monuments”, Gorguts’ vocalist and guitarist Luc Lemay says. “Death had such an important influence on me as an artist. It’s the band that made me want to become a death metal musician. Chuck was my idol, my inspiration. See you on stage. Be prepared for an evening of classic death metal!”.
North Dakota death dealers Phobophilic will join Gorguts and Death to All on this month-long celebration.

Death to All is the touring tribute to the late Chuck Schuldiner and his pioneering band Death. The band includes drummer Gene Hoglan and guitarist Bobby Keolble, who both played on Death’s album Symbolic. It also includes bassist Steve DiGiorgio, who played on Human and with Hoglan on Individual Thought Patterns. Max Phelps (Exist, ex-Cynic) rounds out the line-up on vocals and guitar.
“30 years of Symbolic and 35 years of Spiritual Healing“, says Hoglan. “Two vastly different yet important eras of Death. Both albums are going to be a blast to represent”.
Gorgut’s latest LP Colored Sands and most-recent EP Pleiades’ Dust are both now available through Season of Mist.
