Gogmagore
Raw, relentless black metal from the Netherlands. Emerging from the underground in 2020 and rising to full strength in 2023, this six-headed beast fuses old-school black metal with death metal intensity. Known for their visceral live shows; complete with corpse paint and pig’s blood. GogmaGore leaves a lasting mark on every stage they conquer.
Their debut EP Dissolved by Nature dropped in November 2023, unleashing their dark sound onto the world. With vocal duels, blistering riffs, and a style rooted in 90s Scandinavian black metal, GogmaGore channels the spirit of Horna, Emperor, and Gehenna.
Shared stages with Ancient Rites, Cirith Gorgor & more. Follow the chaos. Witness the ritual. GogmaGore is here to devour.
