FREE
w/Round Eye & Herman Lamm
With their third full-length album, THE GORGE take you on a giant voyage of discovery from which an incredible amount of joy can be experienced. Besides being wizards at their instruments, the quartet from St. Louis also prove to be incredible composers who know when to shine and when to take a step back, which is a rare feat in progressive music these days. The fnal track «Wraith» offers a sublime moment in which the band’s compositional skill and emotional lyrics come together to ofer one last opportunity for respite and consideration. Among the giant synthesizers, slow syncopated rifng and dying screams we are all laid to rest with our faces towards the sunset. Having come to the end of a life’s journey, THE GORGE ofer us the thing that we have all longed for: release from the bonds of our Mechanical Fiction.
For fans of Mastodon, Intronaut, Botch, Between the Buried and Me, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Meshuggah, Animals As Leaders

The Gorge Biography
In 2016, St. Louis, Missouri, metal quartet THE GORGE played a relatively innocuous gig opening for their like-minded buddies Intronaut, unaware that a 17 second video of their set casually posted to social media by the headliner's frontman (and Dunable Guitars figurehead) Sacha Dunable would forever alter the band's trajectory. Among the video's viewers was Pelagic Records founder Robin Staps, who invited the band to tour the U.S. with his project The Ocean Collective and signed them to his label for their long-awaited third LP, 2023's Mechanical Fiction - an album that demonstrates The Gorge's masterful amalgam of djent precision, prog fearlessness, and the cathartic energy of early 2000s metallic hardcore.
