NICE!!.......2007-01-22

"Considered Dead" and "The Erosion of Sanity" are Gorguts at their peak. I didn't like "Obscura" because it sounds too random, and I haven't heard "From Wisdom to Hate" yet, but these two are nothing short of amazing. Hailing from the French quarter of Canada, Luc Lemay and co. bombard us with death metal more technical than a computer manual and heavier than a tank.

"Considered Dead" is indeed very technical, but it has a gore/horror focus in the songs. This doesn't bug me one bit because it's not moronic yelling "OOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!! I WILL KILL YOU!!" s*** in a Cannibal Corpse or Mortician album, the gore/horror theme is done perfectly. Best tracks: "Hematological Allergy," "Bodily Corrupted," "...And then Comes Lividity," and "Innoculate Life."

"The Erosion of Sanity" is big step up for the Canadian quartet. There's more melody, progression, and the lyrics have improved as well. The lyrics are very thought-provoking and WAY better than the whole gore thing. Best tracks: "With their Flesh, He'll Create," "Orphans of Sickness," "A Path Beyond Premonition," and "Condemned to Obscurity."

Not only do these albums rule, they come together in one CD, saving you money. If you're a big fan of Suffocation and early-Death, "Considered Dead/The Erosion of Sanity" will be right up your alley.

Roadrunner sucks majorly, that has been established; but these 2-for-1 things seem pretty cool, in comparison to digging out over $20+ dollars for two 10 year old albums. With that said, if you consider yourself a fan of death metal, Considered Dead and Erosion of Sanity should already be in your collection. If they're not, look for an "add to cart" button. It should be where it normally is, but who knows. Maybe Gorguts is just awesome enough to forcefully re-arrange a page layout, as well as listeners' entrails. One of the reasons old-school death metal is so cool is because, every band had a different pool of influence. Every band sounded different, and no band at that point strived for faceless grunting "brutality." Gorguts is no exception, with their early example of technical precision, and dark layered harmonies hidden somewhere between the correlation of buzzsaw guitars and frenetic bass lines.

Considered Dead marks Gorguts' first spash into the death metal scene. It wasn't really recieved as well as peers like Death and Deicide to be called a "splash," so maybe a better analogy is "underwater creature that stealthily eats whales and sailors." Considered Dead was a every bit as morbid of a declaration as other landmark old school releases such as Leprosy and Cause of Death, but Gorguts infused a biting sense of technicality that went beyond rapid tempo changes. Well-integrated pitch-harmonics and shuffling time signatures offered a cryptic hint of things to come.

The Erosion of Sanity would later be deemed one of the best death metal records of the early nineties. The band pushed beyond the cookie-cutter production of Considered Dead, and a new-found crispness allowed Gorguts' riffs to evolve into more gutwrenching beasts. Bass lines and squeeling guitars swarmed into some almost jazzy scales, before dispersing into some minimalist death metal framework. There was no lack of variety here, with the said intricacies and acoustic/piano parts. Luc's vocals were better than ever, with a mid-ranged growls that easily descended into more bassy Chris Barnes-esque grunts. This album took a while to get used to, so if you're looking for instant musical gratification, look elsewhere. The riffs make a little more sense every time you listen to it, until you reach some sort of nirvana where your mind just "clicks" with the music, and you get a satisfying sense of: "I get it now!" These Canadians never quite got the attention that would ever make their name known by mainstream tadpoles, making Gorguts one of death metal's best hidden gems.
- Thus says the Pellington

In my mind this is a DM classic. Considered Dead and The Erosion of Sanity were classics by themselves. You should feel very fortunate that they released this gem. I was probably one of the few that bought these cd's when they first came out...10+ years later these albums easily stand out among the great DM bands that we have today. The erosion of sanity sounds very different from considered dead, but both are very good, so you really are getting two masterpieces for the price of one.

Basically let me first say that if your into early 90s death metal, then you will love this stuff. Gorguts is an amazing band and I wish I had looked into their material sooner. Both cds are amazing although Erosion of Sanity is a tad better. The vocals, instruments, lyrics, and production are all equally great and you will easily enjoy every minute of this collection. I'm glad Roadrunner released this considering most of the bands they have signed recently aren't that great in my opinion. So if your looking for some classic death metal then be sure to check out these cds and Gorgut's newer stuff too.

Praise be to Suffocation and the likes of Cannibal Corpse, along with the mighty Malevolent Creation, but in the early nineties Gorguts 'Considered Dead' put the b.r.u.t.a.l in brutal. This album will punish your skull as any large metal slab or concrete block would. This album also showcases one of the finest laryngitis-infected throats in the history of the genre. 'Erosion of Sanity' has a few immediately satisfying tracks, but this album is a bit more sculptured than 'Considered Dead.' If 'Considerd Dead' was the large chunks of stone cut from the torso and limbs, 'Erosion of Sanity' would be the fine grains carved from the rib-cage and eye sockets. Put this album on your list, right between the milk and bananas.

Rip Your Flesh Till Theres No Breath.......2006-10-05

This is a classic. For those of you who are self-congratulatory connoisseurs of death metal, Gorguts was breaking new ground before you saw hammered smashed face on Ace Ventura for the first time. These guys are the best at what they do. Obscura can go to hell - Considered Dead and Erosion of Sanity are two albums with a unique sound and skull-smashing musicianship.

Huh?.......2006-09-28

Come on, no reviews? Gorguts rock, yes I dig Cryptopsy about 100X better, but come on, Gorguts gave us Obscura!

However, get the two for one deal. But I can't believe people ignore therse guys!!!!!!!!!!!!
