GOROD - The Orb

Progressive Death Metal from Bordeaux, France.  GOROD (formerly 'Gorod' & 'Goregasm') released their latest album ('The Orb') in March of 2023, after a brief lapse since 2018.  Just thought I would give a quick shout-out for this album, not much else to say aside they've been one of my favorites in the genre since their inception (late 90's/early 2000's for their first studio release).  GOROD just explores some avenues of DM that many don't, from occasional clean vocals to more experimental songwriting, and a strong yin/yang of technical bombast with brightness to the darkest dungeon.  As far as I can tell this was only released digitally and on CD.
