Gurt announce new album ‘Satan ETC’

GURT have announced a new album!

Titled Satan ETC, the upcoming album from the London-based sludge metal band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2019’s Bongs Of Praise, and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via When Planets Collide.

In January 2024, the band took these new songs into Monolith Studios in London and under the watchful eye of Steve Sears, they birthed Satan ETC. This album marks GURT‘s fifth collaboration with Sears. When asked about the influences and inspiration behind this album vocalist Gareth Kelly states “it’s about survival in the very fucked up world we live in, but of course delivered in the bands tongue in cheek style.” Drummer Bill Jacobs says, “we wanted shorter punchier songs to go with the new aggro vibe, nothing to do with us being older and fatter” whilst bassist David ‘Spicy’ Blakemore enigmatically adds “I’ve been listening to lots of Slavic hardcore!”

Speaking about the new song, Kelly comments, “this song is simply about the sheer incompetence of the geriatric surgeon that operated on me, and best of all it was a fucking vasectomy! Simply harrowing, so much so, I wrote him a love letter in this song!”
