Gorgatron release new song ‘Pathogenic Automation’

GORGATRON have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Pathogenic Automation, is taken from the North Dakota-based death metal/grindcore band’s upcoming new album of the same name which is scheduled to be released later this month.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist Karl Schmidt says, “whenever I write lyrics, I focus on the rhythmic aspect first and then try to fit a theme into what I’m doing. Pathogenic Automation is no exception. There are usually multiple meanings to the words that end up being lyrics. The title track is about a disease that spreads quickly from host to host that turns biological beings into fully mechanized robots with a desire to slaughter. I also threw in a story about a mad scientist who starts all of this. This would make a terrible sci-fi action movie that went straight to DVD.”

Bassist Cameron Dewald adds, “with all the chaos going on in the world on hour every hour, I thought it would be cool to have a newscaster rattling off the lyrics while chaos ensues in the background. I hit up Karl and asked him if he had a suit and if I could set up a green screen in his living room. The rest, as they say, is history…”
