US blackened doom metal trio Ghorot reveal cover artwork for their upcoming full-length album »Obsidian«

Boise, Idaho based blackened doom metal trio Ghorot has revealed the cover artwork for their third full-length album, titled »Obsidian«.

“Behold the mighty album artwork for Ghorot’s 3rd full-length record »Obsidian«!! We’re thrilled to once again work with the masterful, singular artist Stephen Wilson (Unknown Relic) on this brutal offering. »Obsidian« is Ghorot at its most primal, a harsh and dissonant eulogy to the dawn of man; noisy and violent, mournful and cavernous, a fitting slab of brutality from Boise’s blackened-doom trio.”

Pre-orders & T-shirt/Long Sleeve Bundles launch Friday, March 6th on Bandcamp.

Ghorot, the acclaimed blackened doom-metal trio formed in Boise, Idaho in 2019, released their latest full-length album »Wound« on October 6th, 2023. Following the success of their debut, »Loss Of Light«, which was released in 2021 on Transylvanian Records (US) and Inverse Records (Finland), the band is poised to further solidify their place in the international metal scene.

Ghorot was founded by Carson Russell (Ealdor Bealu), Brandon Walker (ex-Ghost Tours), and Chad Remains (ex-Uzala), three musicians with a shared passion for creating dark, menacing music.

»Wound« releases on Lay Bare Recordings (EU), Transylvanian Recordings (US) and King Of The Monsters (US). The album is a relentless and brutal journey into the nightmarish realm of the band’s sound. It was recorded, mixed, and mastered by legendary engineer and drummer Andy Patterson (SubRosa, Ascend, The Otolith), ensuring that the sonic quality matches their uncompromising vision.

Over the past three years, Ghorot has shared the stage with world-class bands, including YOB, Monolord, Exhumed, Khemmis, Witch Mountain, Eagle Twin, and many more. They’ve embarked on two successful headlining Western US tours in 2021 and 2022, leaving a trail of awe-struck fans in their wake. Ghorot has also made multiple festival appearances at Treefort Music Fest and Crucial Fest, solidifying their reputation as a powerful live act.
