Gorguts - Colored Sands

Na al 2 previews te hebben kunnen posten, kunnen we nu ook de titeltrack van het nieuwe album van het Canadese Gorguts laten horen. Het album "Colored Sands", die een stilte van 12 jaar doorbreekt, zal via Season of Mist op 30 augustus uitgebracht worden.

[Luc Lemay] "'Colored Sands' tells the story about the intricate, poetic, mystic ritual of drawing sand mandalas. Tibetan pilgrims can walk for months, sometime a whole year, prostrating face to the ground every tree footsteps until they reach the place where the mandala will be executed. Once the mandala completed, the monks will dismantle the mandala, and take the sands to the closest stream of water. This stream will bring the sands to the river, the river to the immensity of the ocean to spread the mandala’s peace and beauty to the planet.. The single harmonic, in the beginning of the song, pictures a single grain of sand hitting the ground…then with the pattern in 5 slowly appearing, illustrates the five elements in the Tibetan philosophy such as: air, water, fire, earth and space which are embodied in the mandala through their specific colors. From there the mandala slowly takes form in the music."
