Gévaudan is a UK Doom band that delivers
heavy, crushing riffs. Much like the fearsome historic tale that provides their
namesake, the band’s live set creates an atmosphere of dread and gloom.
Combining pounding riffs with soaring and at times frenzied vocals, Gévaudan deliver a thunderous live performance that get the
most rigid of audiences moving to their heavy groove.
Based
in Hertfordshire, UK, the four piece formed in 2013 with a desire to write heavy,
crushing music. Influenced by the likes
of Black Sabbath, Goatsnake, Electric Wizard
and Candlemass, the band has honed their sound
whilst maintaining originality and diversity. This has reflected strongly
through the band’s debut EP, “Message
for the Damned” which has been received well by press The riffs are stiring, the
playing crisp and assured and the vocals are also well worth noting for their
quality (something not all doom bands can boast by any means!). It is quality
stuff and forged from the very furnace of real metal that gave us Sabbath, Priest, Vitus,
Candlemass, TGOS
Gévaudan’s name stems from the French folklore
- La Bête du Gévaudan. The band’s live delivery reflects this tale, taking
their pound of flesh from their audiences by the time they reach the end of
their set. Having shared stages with the
likes of Bossk, Cruachan, Alunah, Samothrace, Sea Bastard,
Ohmms, Witchsorrow and Slabdragger, they featured at this year’s Doom Over London festival and are scheduled for the Doom
stage at 2017’s Hammerfest. The band is currently gigging
throughout the UK. With a growing fan base they are starting to receive label
interest and support for their work and are always very well received by the
metal fraternity.
The evolution of the
band’s sound continues with the new EP “Litost”
which delivers three tracks of heavy doom filled riffs themed around isolation,
emotional loss and madness. “Litost” will available from the 23d
