Hands of Goro - Uncanny (Official Audio)

Описание: “Uncanny” is the new single from Bay Area heavy metal trio HANDS OF GORO, formed by members of Spirit Adrift, Nite, Slough Feg, and former live members of Carcass and Angel Witch. The song is the latest preview of the band’s impending eponymous debut LP, nearing release March 1st.

The eight songs on Hands Of Goro thunder with elements of anthemic, epic, traditional heavy metal with torrents of harmonized savagery and brief ventures into the likes of punk, classic rock, and more. The album was recorded and produced by HANDS OF GORO, captured at The Boatyard and Francisco Studios. The drums and guitars recorded in two secret rooms located on a dilapidated former naval base, and the vocals, bass and synthesizers tracked in an underground space right off the dirty streets of San Francisco’s Tenderloin district. Mixing and engineering was handled by the band’s Avinash Mittur, the tracks were mastered by Justin Weis at Trakworx Studio, and the album was completed with artwork by Christie Crapeticio and photography by Jehn Mickalacki and Raymond Ahner.

With the release of “Uncanny,” Draper reveals, “This was the first song Adrian showed me when we started jamming. I love how many different parts the song has, especially on the studio version where there’s a veritable orchestra of guitar harmonies throughout.”

Mittur adds, “When we wrapped up our first recording session with time to spare, we decided to track a couple of extra tunes just for fun and I asked the guys if we could do this one. We blazed through ‘Uncanny’ just once at the end of the night, and that single drum take is what you hear on the album.”

Maestas proclaims, “Under the tutelage of the great Shao Kahn, Goro gained the ability see into the near future and can easily predict subsequent moves by any opponent, thus his counter attacks are most effective not only by their ferocity, but the confusion that sets in when opponents realize that Goro knows their next move before they do.”

*************************************************

Hands of Goro formed in November 2016 with the shared desire to strike fear of the infamous half-man/half-dragon into the heart of humanity. Hailing from opposite sides of the pond, founding members Tom Draper (Spirit Adrift, ex-Carcass, ex-Angel Witch) and Adrian Maestas (Slough Feg) conspired to form a band that would spearhead a sound known as the Third Wave of British Heavy Metal (TWOBHM). In 2020, the two recruited Avinash Mittur (NITE, Wretched Stench) to pound the band’s skins.

As society slowly opened up, the trio set about simply recording two songs in the summer of 2021. Between unearthing old numbers and writing new ones though, this humble seven-inch grew into a menacing full-length: Hands of Goro’s self-titled LP debut on BSP Records. It was recorded and produced by the band, with the drums and guitars recorded in two secret rooms located on a dilapidated former naval base, and the vocals, bass and synthesizers tracked in an underground space right off the dirty streets of San Francisco’s Tenderloin district.

The shadow of the four-armed beast is cast. Goro will dominate over Earthrealm.

Hands Of Goro will see release March 1st on the band’s own BSP Records digitally and on vinyl. Find preorders at the Bandcamp link below..
