Extra on IGORRR’s Amen:
Since signing to Metallic Blade in 2017, the IGORRR identify has expanded from one man’s pseudonym to grow to be a full group id, however Gautier stays the mission’s guiding gentle and mastermind.

After all, as a result of it’s an IGORRR album, there are some extra colourful tracks, like ‘Blastbeat Falafel,’ ‘ADHD’ and so forth… They distinction very a lot with the ambient heaviness. I want tracks like these on an album, it helps to actually get by it absolutely centered, like a shot of limoncello earlier than the following meal.”
With an urge to repeatedly take IGORRR‘s multifaceted and difficult sound additional ahead with every launch, Gautier has spent loads of time cultivating a number of new modes and strategies of working since 2020′s breathtaking, critically acclaimed opus Spirituality And Distortion, which even reached quantity twelve on the official German album chart. Gautier has at all times made clear that IGORRR is as a lot in regards to the affect of Bach and Chopin as it’s about Cannibal Corpse, Aphex Twin, and Meshuggah, however the supply of particular stimuli will get more durable to establish as the method is refined.
“It’s at all times tough for me to know from the place the inspiration comes,” he muses. “Music is an expression of life, and all the things, even what appears probably the most insignificant factor, is usually a supply of inspiration. I’d say there hasn’t been one occasion or one expertise that has led me on a inventive course of, it’s extra like a cumulation of all the things. I like making music. My mind processes music on a regular basis. You can’t think about the quantity of albums and concertos I create throughout my sleep. The problem is extra how you can kind these concepts to maintain those with the perfect potential, those that I received’t become bored with, those that I actually Love, with an enormous letter L.”
