Originally formed in the wind-swept, desolate plains of the midwestern United States by longtime occultists Nihilus and Mælbolgia, later to be buttressed by bassist Doomass and Count Cogliostro, GARGANTUAN is an uncompromising force of black, war, and death metal with an eye for the ridiculous and macabre. Entirely self-promoted and produced, their first release, Upon The Golgothan Plains, featured an apocalyptic story with delectable characters, live rituals, and of course, blast beats. In February of 2024, GARGANTUAN released the single “Bakhmut”, in honor of the Ukrainian struggle for existence, and showcased the band’s latest approach to the extreme metal. Their next full release, Age Ov The Coffin, is slated for early 2025.
