Dave Aftandilian
Ritualistic blackened doom for the end times. As wildfires rage, mobs battle over how stupid they can be, and global civilization crumbles, many eyes turn to the heavens. A black gate opens there and flickering angels descend to earth. But wonder soon descends into horror and lamentation as they cut down and burn to ash all that lives. Only desolation, despair, and the stench of decaying seared flesh are left to us.

“The band expertly mixes everything from creeping atmospheric passages to outright riffs that'll force you to headbang, all while maintaining a very consistent and identifiable sound.” - Metal Injection
“These are not songs, but Filthy Melodic Death Hymns that live inside of your brain!” - CVLT Nation
“…a dark swell full of moody atmosphere, searching and powerful guitar leads, wicked and harsh vocals, and a bass-drum unit that will not stop in its slow advance of storm and fury.” - Doomed & Stoned
“There isn’t a way in which Loss of Light isn’t heavy. Everywhere they go, Ghorot carry that weight with them. It is existential.” - The Obelisk
GHOROT is a Blackened Doom-Metal Trio from the High Desert of Boise, ID. Devastatingly heavy in both tonality and structure,
Ghorot strives to defiantly coalesce the dominions of sludge, doom, stoner, and black metal into a behemoth of sonic ferocity.
Ghorot's sophomore full-length album WOUND out October 6th 2023 on Lay Bare Recordings, King of the Monsters Records, and Transylvanian Recordings....more
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub
Produced by Converge's Kurt Ballou, the metal band's fourth LP channels tragic, transcendental themes into fierce progressive sludge metal. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 28, 2024
I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
