Ggu:ll is a four-piece blackened doom metal band from Tilburg, The Netherlands. Since 2009, they have meandered a stoic path through the pitch black music landscape. Pulling influences from noise, doom and atmospheric drones, they build a steady live reputation, leading to shows at Roadburn, Le guess who?, Neurotic Deathfest, Archerontic Arts and Soul Crusher. For their new record ‘Ex Est’, Ggu:ll extracted the coldness of black metal and added that into the mix doom and noise. In seven tracks, they present a wide spectrum of heavy music. Shifting from blackened doom, to heavy psychedelica back to noise infused torture drones. “… There is something unholy to the sound of Ggu:ll, something sinister, looming and lurking in the dark. The laborious riffing takes a slow trudging pace that never really embraces the same sort of urgency the vocals convey. It’s the sound of a prowling predator, patiently waiting with fully tensed muscles. It will catch its prey and tear it apart in the end.” – The Sleeping Shaman
