News : Premiere: New snippet from Gorguts concept EP “Pleiades’ Dust”

A couple weeks back we posted ‘Wandering Times’, an excerpt from the brand new Gorguts EP Pleiades’ Dust. The EP consists of a single narrative song with a concept based around the medieval “House of Wisdom” in the city of Baghdad, as explained by Luc Lemay.

As our EP ‘Pleiades’ Dust’ consists out of a single long narrative composition, it was not written with the intention of being edited in segments. As the storyline proceeds in chapters though, I was able to isolated this part called ‘Wandering Times’ which will give the listener a good idea of the composition aesthetics which are present throughout the whole piece. The lyrics tell the story of the ‘House of Wisdom’, which is referring to a library that was based in Baghdad sometime between the 8th and the 13th century. There much of the intellectual activity of the Middle Age took place while Europe was stuck in the Dark ages after the fall of Rome. Many scientific discoveries were made at the time such as algebra, optics, astronomy and many more… Without the translation movement that brought this library to life, we would have never had the Renaissance that we know. It is a story about curiosity, beautiful minds and sadly, about how man destroys great discoveries and achievements.

‘Pleiades’ Dust’ was recorded at Menegroth: The Thousand Caves studio in Queens, New York.

We now bring you ‘Besieged’, a brand new snippet from the forthcoming EP Pleiades’ Dust, due for release on May 13th through Nerve Gas (Australia) and Season of Mist (rest of the world).
