GOZU announce new album ‘Gozu VI’
GOZU have announced a brand new album!
The Boston stoner/fuzz rock outfit, have announced their new album, Gozu VI, set for release on May 15th via Blacklight Media/Metal Blade Records, the record marks the band’s sixth full‑length and follows their 2023 release Remedy.
Written during an emotionally turbulent period for vocalist/guitarist Marc Gaffney, the album was produced and mixed by Benny Grotto at Mad Oak Studios and features eight tracks shaped by heavy guitar focus, groove and soulful heaviness.
Speaking about the upcoming album, Gaffney shares, “I think this is more of a soulful, straight‑forward, guitar‑driven album. Lyrically, this took on a whole different feel, and it wrote itself.”
To coincide with the album announcement, the band have released the first single, Banacek. Speaking about the new track, Gaffney says, “IRON MAIDEN is a huge favorite for all of us and we wanted a tune with that Steve Harris gallop. JELLYFISH has always been a band that has crippled me with their amazing vocal harmonies so intrinsically that’s how the vocals arrived!”
