Colored sands

"Each instrument is given a chance to shine, as Lemay and company structure the songwriting to give each musician equal weight. The songwriting is really the key to holding Colored Sands together, an album that is already going to be challenging for most listeners and, especially, for those that just wish to easily consume basic death metal. In lesser hands, it could fall apart, but Lemay and his cohorts ably demonstrate their skill in holding such complicated music together".

"Colored Sands-- the first new LP since 2001 from this Quebec death-metal institution ... A fully formed outing from an outstandingly pedigreed new incarnation of an already legendary band. Thanks to Lemay's trademark anguished roar and dark-prog riff savvy, Colored Sands feels unmistakably like a Gorguts record, but the compositions (...)don't mimic any particular chapter of the band's past".
