New Jersey band Gatherers have announced the release of their 4th LP, titled
"(mutilator.), set for release on November 18, 2022 via No Sleep Records. The
band just shared their latest single 'suffocator' the newest offering off
their forthcoming LP. The new song bursts out of the gate with a driving
force that pairs with the explosive vocals and subtle electronics bubbling in
the background, providing another taste of the sound of the forthcoming
project. 'suffocator' follows lead single 'gift horse,' which features vocals
from Geoff Rickly (Thursday).
Gatherers possess all the attributes that so many bands making heavier rock
strive to master and incorporate into their sound. On ( mutilator. ), the
five piece effortlessly blends melody with dynamic and fluid movements
between guitars and drums that push the speakers to their limits, and softer
reflective interludes that further highlight the incredible range of singer
Weinberger's vocals.
Gatherers don't operate like most other bands. Since forming in 2011, the
band has continually defied the constructs and constrictions of genre, and
refused to succumb to convention. ThatÆs something thatÆs been amplified on
this fourth full-length, ( mutilator. ) While its 11 songs are another
natural progression and evolution for the five-piece, it also marks something
of a turning point for the band û after releasing 2015's Quiet World and
2018Æs We Are Alive Beyond Repair, they put out the single 'Sick, Sad Heart'
in April 2019 before parting ways with their label for those past two
releases.
Yet while many bands might have balked at the uncertainty that being unsigned
entailed, Gatherers took it as an opportunity to make the exact album they
wanted to make, not least because they werenÆt on anybody elseÆs timeline. As
a result, it afforded them much more creative freedom while also allowing
them to build on the sounds and textures they had begun exploring on that
standalone track. ôThis is the first time in two albums that we were really
just able to take our time with it, and do and hear what we wanted on a
record,'' says guitarist Anthony Gesa.
ôAt the same time,ö adds Weinberger, ôour mantra for this record was to not
overthink anything. We spent a lot of time listening and talking to each
other û asking what kind of vibe we were imagining û and I feel that was very
beneficial, because it kept us all dialed in to the same headspace.ö
The result is a less a collection of conventional songs than of dark clouds
of feeling and atmosphere û a set of bruised, desperate, searching songs that
Weinberger refers to as ôa panic attack in slow motion.ö ThatÆs accurate.
ThereÆs a gentle yet ominous grace to the likes of ôboxcutterö, ôblack
marigoldsö and ôour last days, numbered like a rotary dialö, and a scorching,
ragged and visceral beauty to ôad nauseam, i drownö, while nefarious,
nihilistic shadows hover over ôtwelve omaha solemn certaintyö and ômasaletteö
burns up in an apocalyptic, apoplectic rage. ItÆs proof that, while Gatherers
may have moved away from the more traditional post-hardcore template of their
earlier records, the swathes and swirls and layers of sound present on these
songs are just as powerful.
