Today, Canadian technical death metal pioneers GORGUTS have unleashed a lyric video for a new track titled, “Forgotten Arrows” which can be viewed below. The track comes from the band’s upcoming new album Colored Sands which will be released via Season Of Mist on August 30 in Europe, and on September 3 in North America. The effort will be made available as a digipak CD limited to the first pressing, regular black LP, transparent clear LP and red/yellow colored LP and the album’s track listing and cover artwork are available below.
GORGUTS guitarist/vocalist Luc Lemay previously stated that Colored Sands would be “a very detailed, dark, epic, emotional, conceptual record.” War On Music Records released on vinyl the GORGUTS albums, From Wisdom To Hate (2001) andObscura (1998) in 2011. These records were largely regarded as pioneering works in the technical death metal genre, and set the standard for the decade to follow.

9/5 – Springfield, VA – Empire
9/6 – Raleigh, NC – Hopscotch Festival
9/7 – Wilmington, DE – Mojo 13
