Undoubtedly one of the best things to come out of Boston, since Matt Damon, Gozu have been at the forefront of the stoner scene since
their inception in 2009, achieving deserved critical acclaim for arguably one of
the best records released on the revered label Small Stones
Recordings during their 20 year existence. That record was “Locust Season”.
3
years later would mark the release “The
Fury A Patient Man”, and whilst it retained the core sound of the band, the
outright heaviness and crush of “Locust
Season” was a little more reigned in.
For me, Gozu are like a little nugget of gold, yet
to fully realise their potential, however that is about to change with the
release of their third full length.
Indeed as the name suggests, a “Revival”
is at hand and Gozu are set to release a watershed record
that will hopefully propel them into the big leagues.
After
years playing live shows with the likes of St. Vitus, Pallbearer, Fu Manchu
and Church Of Misery – in both the US and their
first appearance in Europe at festivals such as Roadburn
and Desert Fest.
Gozu set to work and entered Wild Arctic
Studios in Portsmouth, NH to record album number three “Revival”
Armed with their most solid line-up since the arrival of bassist Joe Grotto (Motherboar) and former Warhorse drummer Mike Hubbard, the eight tracks that make up their new studio album “Revival”, Gozu have returned to their heavier sound, matched with the bands best performance to date and with our very own Big Daddy Mac Gaffney, putting in his best vocal performance.
