Gigan: 'Multi-Dimensional Fractal Sorcery and Super-Science'
Psychedelic extreme metal marauders Giganrecently completed the recording of their upcoming new studio offering. Titled 'Multi-Dimensional Fractal Sorcery and Super-Science', the band's third full-length, and second to be released through forward-thinking label imprint, Willowtip Records, was recorded with esteemed sound sage Sanford Parker (Minsk, Buried At Sea, Yakuza) at Earth Analog Studios in Chicago.
A kaleidoscopic sound voyage that is at once musically complex and meticulously concise, 'Multi-Dimensional Fractal Sorcery and Super-Science' dishes up eight hymns of cranium-twisting, hallucinatory brutality.
Elaborates Gigan mastermind Eric Hersemann: "'Multi-Dimensional Fractal Sorcery and Super Science is the best musical representation of Gigan so far, as it captures the essential elements of the first three releases while still stretching the existing boundaries of the Gigan Universe! I had more time to work on this album and the result is a detailed and mesmerizing assault of psychedelic extreme metal! The production also came out spectacularly, with natural sounds and tones complemented by an un-earthly ambience and enigmatic vibe..."
Track listing:
1. Beneath the Sea of Tranquility
2. Influence through Ritualistic Projection
3. Electro-Stimulated Hallucinatory Response
4. Mother of Toads
5. Obsidian Sun
6. Cosmic Triangular Communications
7. Gibbering Hordes of Zemiath
8. Bio-Engineered Molecular Abnormalities
The brainchild of left-handed lead guitarist and founding member Eric Hersemann, Gigan has been challenging the mortal laws of extreme music and
creativity since early 2006. Forged around the simple notion that the imagination should be arts only limit, Gigan's style of creative delivery has
simultaneously invoked reactions of amazement, disbelief, shock, awe and ultimately, respect. 'Multi-Dimensional Fractal Sorcery and Super Science' will be released in North America via Willowtip Records October 15, 2013.

(older news about the topic:)
Psychedelic extreme metal vanguard Gigan will begin recording a newest studio offering next month.
Titled 'Multi-Dimensional Fractal Sorcery and Super-Science', the band's third full-length, and second to be released through Willowtip Records, will once again be recorded with long-time friend and engineer Sanford Parker and will be unleashed sometime this Fall.
Elaborates Gigan mastermind, Eric Hersemann, "This third Gigan record is proving to be the most concise and deadly so far. I'm very pleased with the overall dynamics and vibe the current music is creating within our minds. This is the first Gigan record I have written outside of Florida and my new environment here in Chicago has provided unique inspiration that resulted in some complex and bizarre results. Psychedelic brutality at its finest."
