Gargouyllas is a thrash and technical death metal band from Tours, France, formed in 2006, worshipping Death, Testament, Decapitated, Suffocation, and Pantera. Their catalog spans from the 2009 demo Land of the Extremos through The Ocean of Perdition and Decadence EP (2012) to remastered material in 2022.
Gargowitch is a black metal and doom band from Creuzier-le-Vieux in the Auvergne region of France, blending occult atmospheres with heavy, doom-laden riffing across releases including Demonic Blues, Cannibal Troten, and Avidee. Their sound merges black metal's darkness with doom metal's crushing weight.
Gargoyl formed in 2018 as a collaboration between Revocation guitarist Dave Davidson and guitarist/vocalist Luke Roberts, who met while on tour and discovered a shared musical sensibility rooted in progressive metal, 1990s grunge, and avant-garde rock. The project's self-titled debut (2020), released via Season of Mist, blends dark, dissonant progressive metal structures with Alice in Chains-influenced vocal harmonies and a brooding alternative rock atmosphere that diverges significantly from Davidson's main band. Rounded out by bassist Brett Leier and drummer James Knoerl, the band demonstrated that Davidson's compositional range extends well beyond death metal's conventional parameters.
