The Erosion of Sanity

The Erosion of Sanity is the second full-length album by Canadian technical death metal band Gorguts. The album was released on January 19, 1993 through Roadrunner Records. Though it is now considered a milestone in the genre, the album's release coincided with the decline of death metal's popularity as a genre, and Roadrunner Records decided to drop the band from their roster.[2] The band subsequently entered into a five-year state of limbo in which they ceased touring, during which all members except Luc Lemay left. Gorguts later returned with a new lineup, releasing their third full-length album Obscura in 1998.[3]

gollark: ALL HAIL TRADING when the hub is non-annoying.
gollark: I have nothing to buy which can't be achieved in less time by ***trading***.
gollark: Honestly, I think the current value is either:- kind of misrepresented- perpetuated by possibly accidental price fixing
gollark: I doubt the rate is higher than 60/month.
gollark: I'd probably just breed entirely with celestials (multiclutch) and then either trade them for CB hatchlings or offer them at random for funlolz.
