Beyond Death

by GOUGE

supported by

PJ Brown This album has been out 3 years, and honestly, needs to be talked up more. It has the energy of a defibrillator shock to the heart. Fiery, passionate, brutal yet tuneful death metal in the tradition of old school sound. One of the best finds on Bandcamp since I came across Deathhammer. Favorite track: I Smell of Rotten Death.

death_for_disgrace Easily the best Death Metal release of 2015, fucking great, Old-School and Raw. Favorite track: Butcher Attack.

Hans Reminds me of Repulsion, sound-wise. The oldest of Old School. Incredibly good. Favorite track: Putrefaction.

juhaulkoniemi Death metal with a certain kind of hardcore vibe. Malevolent and unrelenting, saturated with delicious riffs. Definitely reminds me of early bands like Repulsion Favorite track: Butcher Attack.

DREW ELLIOTT Between Repulsion and Repugnant there is a Gouge. Favorite track: Breath of the Reaper.

about

What's it sound like to go Beyond Death? That's precisely the question GOUGE answer with their titular debut album. These Norwegian death metal upstarts started off with a bang with their Doomed to Death EP, one of HELLS HEADBANGERS' hottest 7" in recent years, and now with Beyond Death, the unholy duo upratchet their ravenous deathnoise x 666. GOUGE's influences are clearly from the oldest of schools - Repulsion, Autopsy, Death Strike, and earliest Death - but even just a cursory listen to Beyond Death reveals an acute understanding of what drives those sounds rather than the replication of them: their attack is gross and guts fucking, but burning with a passion that's blanching to behold. Not to mention that these young mavericks know how to write actual songs - and there's 10 quick-hitting slices of absolute DEATH here. No better time, then, to go Beyond Death with GOUGE!

I've seen their CDs in HMV so chances are you know these blackened thrash masters, takes all the bands i've loved over the last 38 years and blends it into some of the best metal you'll ever hear dainton

An amazing record. I am really glad to run into the band as the music is nothing like anything I had listened to before. Great music and overall worth playing at least once a week orangeblitz47
