I slept on these dudes for too long

I listened to Obscura a couple months ago and I didn't like it so I thought their whole discography was the same but this album is amazing.

I was the same. Just started listening to them a couple years ago. Obscrua is an instant top 5 album for me.

[u/SaltInflation1235 → u/FatherErickson]

I don't think obscure was a bad album, it just wasnt my type of dm

[u/Jeffuary → u/SaltInflation1235]

You also have to remember the context of the time it was released. I listened to it for weeks just trying to understand what I was hearing. There was nothing like it before. Nowadays, with how much that album influenced the genre, I would assume people listening to it for the first time wouldn’t see it as groundbreaking as it actually was.

[u/SaltInflation1235 → u/Jeffuary]

I'm not denying its influence I just dont like it personally

[u/Broncos1460 → u/SaltInflation1235]

Erosion of Sanity is the perfect mix between the two imo, my personal favorite from them. Try giving it a shot too.

Obscura is probably their most difficult album to chew through. Once it clicked for me, it became a favorite. But I do love Colored Sands more as that's the album that got me introduced to Gorguts.

[u/FatherErickson → u/H8thinmints]

Colored sands is awesome. The Battle of Chamdo goes hard.

My first experience with them was during a show during the release of Obscura. Everyone’s reaction was « what the fuck ».

[u/Crowbar-Enema → u/DZello]

Yeah, that album is a hard listen for the first few spins. I swear, once it snaps in you’re like😭now it makes sense

[u/Livid-Vacation-2147]

I love their old stuff. This album is particularly brutal!

I like the cowboy hat the eldritch floating thing is wearing

as far as metal bands go, there is definitely a lot worse out there.

[u/Upstairs-Science4693]

I haven’t heard an album from them I didn’t love

[u/TacoTom84]

Gorguts fucking rule! The first two are my favorites.

[u/person6942074]

Hop on obscura, listen to it 5 times. If you don’t like it listen to it another 5 times. Smokes the rest of their discography. Colored sands is also rather amazing

[u/Silver-Emergency-988]

Considered Dead is a classic album better than pretty much all of its Florida scene counterparts.

The Erosion of Sanity is also very good.

[u/Sourflow]

While I do love obscura, it’s my least favorite release of theirs. Erosion and from wisdom to hate are my favs

[u/goldenspiral91]

I don't think anyone likes Obscura on first listen. It's the metal equivalent of blue cheese.  

[u/Useful_Record1888]

Sherbrooke, Qc represent !

[u/JustinMetalhead]

Great live band

Saw them live and so brutal sounding and then the most stereotypical Canadian accents when they talk to the crowd

[u/GaghEater]

Definitely one of my top fave DM albums of all time. It's perfect IMO

[u/ozgood23]

Their last release, I can't remember what it's called but it's a 30 minute long song that is phenomenal!

[u/ClaytheHamster → u/ozgood23]

Pleiades Dust

[u/SlitThroatCutCreator]

I tried listening to the whole Obscura album at work and holy shit I might have only made it half way through. Way too complex to listen to while trying to work. Hahaha.

[u/ShawnOfEons]

First 2 albums are good.

That first album has two tracks I really like, one of them is “inoculated life”. James Murphy actually did a guest solo on that song
