Guitarist Bowen Matheson comments on the album:

"Jeff
Bryan and I recorded the album at my home here in the Okanagan Valley,
and we did the absolute majority of the writing in the pre-production
and production stages. So much of the material had existed from several
years ago, but was completely overhauled and reworked several times to
end up in these tracks. We weren't afraid to try things out and work
over several revisions, or to take our hands off of a few of the songs
that we felt very comfortable with after only the first revision. Jeff
wrote the lyrics for the tracks in less than two months, and a lot of
them were written and finalized in the vocal tracking stage, in front of
the microphone.

We
weren't afraid to enable our music with production techniques. Many
reviews have figured that we used samples or synthesizers in the songs,
however the reality is that all of these droning noises, stutters, and
otherwise 'industrial' sounds are actually either electric guitar or
bass guitar, and abusing these instruments in front of their amplifiers
with only two guitar effect pedals. The rest of these noises you hear
are the interaction with the instrument and their environment.

We
then delivered all of the tracks to Stuart McKillop of Rain City
Recorders for mixing, and he blew us away. It didn't take him long at
all to catch onto what we were going for, and his consistency from one
track to the next brought the tracks to the highest musical apex they
could reach. Brad Boatright of Audiosiege handled the mastering, and he
made certain that the product was of the outstanding final production
quality for us. Brad has really yielded an outstanding quality for so
many other abrasive sub-genres of metal and hardcore and he delivered
that exact pinnacle of quality for us on this record as well." - Bowen
Matheson

In addition to the release of 'The Haruspex', GOMORRAH will be hosting CD release show in Vancouver, BC on February 27th  @ 333 Clark with support from AngelMaker, Wormwitch, Atrous Leviathan and Vermin. Full event details can be found here.

About:

GOMORRAH, originally formed in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia as a black metal outfit in 2006, has now grown into an assaulting death metal band - ready to unleash their boundary-pushing extreme sound on their second full-length album. The forthcoming album 'The Haruspex' is to be released on January 15, 2016 on Canadian label Test Your Metal Records.

“We have stepped up the quality of everything: the pre production, writing, structuring, lyrics, performances, mix and master have all been improved. The combination of those improvements translates to a major difference between our previous recordings, and the single "A Disaster's Nightmare" - as well as our forthcoming full-length 'The Haruspex'. Improvement, through effort and time.” Comments guitarist Bowen Matheson.

Their name is associated with a historical reference to a city mentioned in the Book of Genesis, the Qur'an and Hadith, the Torah, and the New Testament. The bands music conveys a claustrophobic animosity, through punishing guitar work, high-speed drumming, and guttural vocals. The lyrics provide an accessible gateway into the stories told in each song.

Gomorrah has shared the stage with Suffocation, Cryptopsy, Archspire, Ancients, Striker, Origin, Beyond Creation, King Parrot, Ninjaspy, KenMode, Bison BC, The Agonist, Fuck The Facts, The Order of Chaos, Slumlord, and Fall City Fall.
