Gorod is a technical death metal band from Bordeaux, France, active since 1997 - originally under the name Gorgasm, which they dropped in 2005 to avoid confusion with a US band of the same name. Known for intricate rhythms, virtuosic guitar work and a progressive sensibility, they built their international reputation with albums like "Process of a New Decline" (2009) and "A Perfect Absolution" (2012). Their seventh album "The Orb" (2023) confirmed that technical complexity and songcraft can coexist, and their eighth record "The Ember Gone" arrives in August 2026 via Base Productions and Season of Mist.
Gorod's eighth studio album, 'The Ember Gone', will be released on August 28, 2026 via Base Productions and Season of Mist.
Gorod and Allegaeon announce the co-headline 'Tech It Easy! Europe 2026' tour for September, with Abysmal Dawn as support across 21 dates in the Netherlands, Germany and the UK, among others.
The band shares 'Remains' as the second single from 'The Ember Gone' and confirms a performance in Paris on September 6.
Gorod confirms that the recordings for their eighth album take place at BUD Studio in France, the personal studio of guitarist Mathieu Pascal.
The seventh album 'The Orb' is released on March 10, 2023 as a self-release and is widely praised by reviewers for the balance between technical complexity and accessibility.
