Gorgon (France): “Traditio Satanae”

I discovered this band recently thanks to Osmose Productions, but Gorgon is actually an old band dating back to the period of the second wave of black metal. Gorgon was founded back in 1991 in Antibes on the French Côte d'Azur (not to be confused with the band of the same name from Paris). The French band began as a quartet and disbanded in 2001 after releasing four albums. Reformed in 2017 as a one-man band by Christophe Chatelet, Gorgon released the comeback album in 2019, The Veil of Darkness, followed up by the brand new Traditio Satanae. The new album consists of eleven tracks of the most brutally savage, tempestuous, and virulent black metal music. In creeping dimness, the band's core has birthed their most aggressive body of work yet: utterly and undeniably compelling, hard-hitting riffs and heinous vocals.
However, there is also a lot of melody, like on the third track “Entrancing Cemetery”, which is also one of my favorite songs on the album. Overall, Traditio Satanae is a very good album, although perhaps not memorable, but certainly enjoyable.
 
Notes:
Traditio Satanae was released on June 11, 2021 on Osmose Productions as CD and limited vinyl in two colours.
 
Personnel:
Christophe Chatelet: vocals, guitars, bass
