"The two albums, which seem to come out of the same recording session, as much as they are related from a sound point of view, seem channeled towards a ritualistic noise aimed at denying, from a conceptual point of view, the very existence of life."

Italian review for NOIR NOIR by InYourEyesEzine. Full read here:

Cinque dischi da scoprire: Massa Nera, Monkeys On Mars, Noir Noir, Old Year e Sakna analizzati da In Your Eyes Ezine.

"South Korea’s Gawthrop dilutes industrial death and noise into a stark, super-pressurized form of sludge doom that’s so absolutely wretched it will likely remind you of the drudgery that is your life. "

It's utterly Insane to think that I used to read the legendary underground metal blog Deaf Sparrow in the mid 00's on a dial up connection...... and today they are still here reviewing our releases. Stanley's a fu***ng legend. Here's an another great, poignant analysis of his for GAWTHROP:

https://www.deafsparrow.com/2025/09/16/gawthrop-kuboa-wretched-sludge-doom/?

South Korea's Gawthrop discharged their first full-length, bubbling with the crudest of human oils. Imbibe the wretched thing that you were!

URANIUM in PopMatters' heaviest s**t of November 2025:

In November's best metal, Yellow Eyes are in their finest moment, Barren Path rise from the ashes of Gridlink, and Blut Aus Nord navigate dreamscapes.

"A mass of fermenting, rotting organic matter that will blow your stomach apart."

GAWTHROP reviewed by Wormwood Chronicles:

GAWTHROP “Kuboa” By Dr. Abner Mality Emerging from the unlikely domain of South Korea, GAWTHROP are bound and determined to be the absolute opposite of the disgustingly sugary, commercial and infantile K-pop scene that has ruined the country for many heavy rock fans. This is the five-alarm

URANIUM interview with Brutal Resonance:

Harsh noise. Death industrial. Experimental sounds. Throw it all into a cauldron and what you wind up with is Uranium. No, not the element, but the project that just released their recent album This Corrosion via Sentient Ruin. The premise is simple: a concept album based around nuclear annihilation...

Hateful Abandon interview with industrial bastion Brutal Resonance:

You ever see that meme Angry Hulk versus Peaceful Hulk from the MCU and comparing it to that of metal acts when they’re on stage versus backstage? I kind of feel like that’s the case for Hateful Abandon, which is two dudes making some of the most oppressive industrial metal you’ll hear regardi...

"In the parlance of the great Kurt Vonnegut, a "granfalloon" is "a proud and meaningless collection of human beings," a group that affects a shared identity but whose supposed bonds are shallow and without purpose. [...] Either way, "Granfalloon" is a monster, a grimy slab of detuned doom inspired by Japanese bands like Corrupted and Coffins but even more spare in its arrangement.
There's a passage toward the end of the song's seven-minute runtime where everything drops away except Minhwi Lee's throbbing bass and a sample of what I imagine might be a Korean newscaster. It's a stunning moment of austere power, and proof of what minimalism in metal can achieve when placed in capable hands. [From Kuboa, out now via Sentient Ruin Laboratories.]"

GAWTHROP featured in Stereogum:

At the climax of Jimmy And Stiggs, the latest 16mm-shot splatterfest from raconteur writer/director Joe Begos, a man’s head is split open by an alien parasite. The bug-eyed little monster crawls out of his skull and skitters across the floor, leaving behind a ruined co**se in a pool of blood. Seei...
