GARGANT unleashes a powerful and immersive form of Dark Power Metal, driven by massive riffs, dark atmospheres, and soaring epic melodies. Rooted in the spirit of 90s metal, their sound stands as a colossal and defiant force while pushing forward with a modern and commanding signature.

Founded by veterans of the Brazilian Heavy Metal scene, GARGANT features vocalist Guilherme Sevens, guitarists Caio Mendonça and Leandro Carvalho, bassist Paulo Doc, and drummer Phill Drigues. Together, they bring extensive touring experience across Europe and South America, a strong background in metal production, and a unified artistic direction that defines the band’s mature and confident presence.

Their debut album “Dead Night Defiance”, recorded at Tellus Studio and produced, mixed, and mastered by Caio Mendonça alongside the band, stands as a defining statement of their sound.  Even with its release at the end of 2025, the album received widespread international recognition, appearing on multiple “Best Albums of 2025” lists and ranking among the Top 10 power metal releases of the year, solidifying GARGANT’s place on the global metal stage.

Following the album’s success, GARGANT has now signed a worldwide release deal with Fireflash Records, expanding the reach of “Dead Night Defiance” and heralding a new chapter in the band’s rise. “At the end of February, I was contacted by the band, who introduced themselves in the usual way. I had a listen and was immediately blown away by what I heard and saw. If you watch the video for ‘Stormfall’ and then stream the album, you’ll fully understand my feelings and my enthusiasm for the band. What GARGANT have created is simply a perfect 10/10 album. It’s packed with 90s metal elements and proper anthems that make you want to raise your hands, fists and swords in the air”, comments Markus Wosgien, owner of Fireflash Records.

Beyond the music, GARGANT builds a complete artistic universe. Their compositions, music videos, and visual elements function as interconnected chapters of a larger narrative. Drawing inspiration from comics, cinema, painting, architecture, and literature, the band crafts dense and immersive worlds that mirror the depth of their sound. The visual direction, led by Guilherme Sevens, known for his work with Queen, Metal Mike, Dave Evans from AC/DC, and Adagio, is an essential part of this experience. GARGANT pushes forward with unwavering purpose and relentless drive, breaking beyond borders and expanding its global reach. With a growing international presence and a distinct sound, the band stands ready to bring its colossal and defiant force to stages worldwide.
