New Gorguts track

Well, it's been a good week - Carcass have released a new track, the bassist/vocalist from Blister Unit just thanked me for rating his album as one of my favourites of the year so far, and now Gorguts have released another new song from their forthcoming album Coloured Sands. It's seven minutes long, which I was worried about to begin with, but this is a band that is definitely capable of sophistication. They manage to build so many different segments into this song - from outright sonic terrorism to sinister, groovy passages, to a guitar solo (though they probably could have left that out) and even a brief acoustic outro. This is a complex, multi-layered track that takes diverse textures and complex instrumental parts and builds them up - and it does seem right to talk about this song as having been built, like a car or a house, rather than written. Other than the aforementioned guitar solo (which perfectly exemplifies why metal bands should avoid guitar solos), this is a cracking track.
