Gorguts - To Reissue 'Obscura' And 'From Wisdom To Hate'


Century Media Records has announced the reissue of two groundbreaking technical death metal albums, Obscura and From Wisdom To Hate, by long-running Canadian legends Gorguts on April 6th, 2015 in Europe and April 7th in North America. These 2015 editions were created in close cooperation with Luc Lemay, who reveals the entire history of these ambitious records in the accompanying liner notes and both are dedicated to the memory of former members Steeve Hurdle (R.I.P. 2012) and Steve MacDonald (R.I.P. 2002). Are you interested?

Founding member Luc Lemay (vocals/guitar) comments: "Hi everybody! It's with excitement that I write these lines to you today, because I'm proud to announce that our 1998 record Obscura and 2001's From Wisdom To Hate will finally be re-released! We did a lot of touring for our latest record, Colored Sands, and everyday someone would ask me when Obscura would be out again. Well, here we are! For this re-issue, I decided to include liner notes that tell the story behind each record. How we got together as musicians, what was the composition process that made this sound possible and that made us grow as artists. You'll also notice that both re-releases bear the new logo. Well, I decided to change the logo because, with a step back, I realized that I never really like the original one on Obscura and I wanted to give the record a fresh look. I kept the same logo for From Wisdom To Hate, because it was created for this record. Thanks again to all our fans for their unconditional support through all those years... Krank the volume to 11... INTRA LIMPIDUS OBSCURA!"

    Cool. Maybe I'll finally be able to snag a copy of Obscura that doesn't require me to take out a second mortgage.

    Is there not going to be a standalone CD issued for From Wisdom to Hate?

    Nice, I've been a long time searching for these albums and wasn't able to find them. I hope they're doing something similar with ''Considered dead'' and ''Erosion of sanity'' in the future.
