about
At least five different bands with the name Gorgon. 1) A French Black Metal band. 2) A Japanese Heavy Metal Band 3) A New York City rock band 4) A Vermont Punk Band 5) Another French band, from Paris, Symphonic/Melodic Death Metal. 1) One of the first and greatest French Black Metal bands, Gorgon was formed in 1991 by Chris in southern France, during Black Metal's emerging and maturing Second Wave. As with many bands of this period, Gorgon's sound is distinctly original and possessing incredible power with a permeating occult atmosphere, but they were initially inspired by bands like Venom, Samael, and Impaled Nazarene. The first demo was 1992's "Call From Unknown Depths" followed by the infamous EP "Immortal Horde" in 1993. Their first album "The Lady Rides a Black Horse" was recorded in 1994 and released in 1995. It has become an underground Black Metal landmark for those who managed to hear it at the time. Many albums and 30 years later, even if they split-up the band between 2001 and 2017, they are still playing the in the same underground spirit. In 2021 they released their 6th full-length offering "Traditio Satanae" on the Osmose Production label.
