GOTTESMORDER “Gottesmorder EP” is now available to order.
Guitars like drones, primitive drums, bestial throat. The Gottesmorder Ep aim to be the dark age sound in which contemporary human being will find frosty/obsessive atmospheres as well. The two tracks record is almost a concept, talkin’ about the deafness of nature. It boasts the collaborations of K11/Pietro Riparbelli and Lee Baughn (Ghost Empire). If you like bands like WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM, ALTAR OF PLAGUES and FALL OF EFRAFA, don’t miss them!
It has been recorded at Orange Recordings Studio with Stefano ”Zven” Doretti, mixed and mastered at Locomotore Studio with Lorenzo Stecconi (Ufomammut, Lento, ZU, Dälek). The artwork has been done by the graphic/musician Mories (Gnaw Their Tougues, Aderlating, De Magia Veterum).

Review by CVLT Nation http://www.cvltnation.com/
“Recently I was approached by a band from Italy called Gottesmorder to do an illustration for a t shirt. They sent me a link to a song on bandcamp that was part of a compilation, and that was the only recorded material they had available. The song was cool so I agreed to work with them. Once that was in place, they sent me their finished, self-titled EP and I was blown away. Over the course of two songs and 25 minutes, Gottesmorder collide grim black metal with post rock, doom, hardcore and crust all wrapped in a shroud of smokey atmosphere. These two songs are scathing and visceral, and at other moments otherworldly and intangible. Gottesmorder have already begun to forge their own sound that should help to separate them from all the new post black metal bands.
I’m proud to exclusively premiere the second and shorter of the two tracks “Abyss Of Throats.
Like most post rock bands, Gottesmorder is a game of patience. The first track, “Winternight,” takes seven minutes, half of the songs’ whole running time to get going. But like any good post rock band, your patience is ultimately rewarded. After three minutes of chilling pipe organ, deranged guitar noises seep into the mix with subtle percussion. At 7 minutes exactly, the deep and throaty vocals kick in and bring the song to life. “Abyss” is more straightforward, but still has the same cinematic feel as “Winternight.” It builds on one riff that will get stuck in your head if it doesn’t knock it clean off first. These songs sound huge for being just a three piece. The band really knows how to manipulate genres to their advantage without coming off as trying to do too much.
At this time there is now direct link to purchase the EP. If you’d like to order one, you can e mail the band or their label(s). Since the band are from Italy, I imagine shipping might get a little pricey. Here’s hoping for a domestic release sometime this year.”
