Gargoyl – Gargoyl

Featuring Dave Davidson of Revocation and Luke Roberts of Ayahuasca, progressive grunge rockers Gargoyl are ready to present their experimental sonic manifesto with the debut self-titled release.

You can instantly appreciate the eclectic nature of “Plastic Nothing” as the convoluted rhythmic patterns fueled by the frenetic guitar riffs unravel around the passionate vocals until the tempo slows down drastically to highlight a contemplative atmosphere. 

On “Cursed Generation” the precise rhythmic section unleashes a groovy momentum that enhances the technical aspects of the guitar work which can deliver an unusual mix of grungy vibes and prog oriented luminous melodies. 

“Wraith” begins with peaceful guitar harmonies that will swiftly evolve into elaborate progressions that still maintain a soothing melodic soul matched by the crispy vocals yet never cease to showcase an interesting experimental flair. 

The darkened vibes of “Ophidian” are evident in the moody guitar phrases and the cold melodies surrounding an elegant vocal duet yet the rhythmic segments still manifest a technical prog approach that will generate heavier enigmatic dynamics. 

On “Acid Crown” guitars shift from sorrowful tonalities to multifaceted progressions leading to shapeshifting rhythmic patterns also fueled by the precise drumming while the extensive saxophone solo skillfully channels warm jazzy vibes.  

Throughout “Asphyxia” the intriguing guitar work can create heartfelt minimalist melodies that complement the softer vocals yet the intricate instrumental crescendos can make you feel dizzy evoking chaotic feelings. 

With the new project Gargoyl Dave and Luke share a musical kinship that gives them the chance to explore different styles and shape a fresh artistic vision that will often surprise the audience.
