"Pathogenic Automation" is a nonstop showcase of precision & power combining modern technicality with old school savagery

With Pathogenic Automation, Fargo's own Gorgatron delivers a death metal record that's both ferocious and finely honed. Their third full-length combines classic, old-school intensity with modern precision, resulting in an album that is relentlessly heavy without ever becoming one-dimensional. The riffs come in waves--some sharp and blistering, others thick and crushing--yet everything feels purposeful and memorable.

Songs like 'Usurpation' and 'Insurmountable' stand out for their mix of speed, groove, and infectious riffing, while closer 'Pierced from All Angles' adds a surprising atmospheric break before slamming the door shut with brutal force.

What sets Pathogenic Automation apart is its balance: Gorgatron never sacrifices clarity for chaos, and every track keeps the energy driving forward. Critics note that while the music is unflinchingly aggressive, there's also a sense of fun behind it--showing a band that plays with conviction but doesn't take itself too seriously.

This re-issue comes with live bonus tracks taken from the band's livestream recording during COVID lockdown in 2020.
