Gorge - Land Bridge (2019)^{Release ID: 11173}

Gorge are a sludge / doom band from Connecticut who sing about the bloody and distant history of the North American continent. This tale of the earliest migrants into Alaska via the eponymous ancient land bridge from Eurasia is their first full-length release and, with a flash of inspiration, was recorded live deep within the heart of the Tariffville gorge. This has given the album a unique atmosphere, the sheer titanic enormity and timelessness of this geographical feature has lent it's gravitas to the crushingly huge riffs of the music these three delvers into prehistory have spewed forth like primordial lava oozing from the seas to form continents. A genuinely impressive debut release and one of the heaviest albums of 2019.
