First of all @FatherAlabaster, brilliant thread.
Challenging one this and will require some more thought, but to pick up on the example of 'Pleiades' Dust' if I can, this is nothing short of one of the best compositions that Lemay has ever put his name too. To write something as arcane as that and somehow retain any sense of narrative is extraordinary. I mean literally every part of the Gorgut's engine is working in unison on that EP. Hamelin's understated drums, Marston's ever-present yet never smothering bass and Hufnagel's textural perfection alongside Lemay's visionary riffage all fits together so well you'll want to hug yourself on behalf of the band.
Some cunt on another forum once said in response to 'Pleiades' Dust' that "life is too short for Gorguts". What a bell end!
