GRORR

GRORR have released a new video for the song “Orang Lao” taken from the new ep “II”. This is the first new music from the band since the critical acclaimed “The Unknown Citizens”, that was released back in 2014!

Listen to the ep at Bandcamp: Music | ViciSolum Records (bandcamp.com)

Grorr was created in 2005 in Pau (France). Its music mixes progressive/math/rock/metal featuring the use of traditional instruments from all around the world, all crafted within concept albums. Grorr surprises and gathers both organic and powerful music imprinted with various atmospheres.

Since the beginning, it has always been essential for the band to tell social fables. Grorr gives shape to these stories and creates its albums according to storyboards, which are made as the first step. After releasing Anthill in 2012, the band signed with Swedish label ViciSolum Productions for The Unknown Citizens out in 2014. Both albums were very well received by the critics, French and international alike and were nominated in many «Best Album » categories, so were their stop-motion video clips in animated film festivals such as Clermont-Ferrand. The band released a full-concert live show in 2016 that marked a turning point for the line up as the leading singer left the project letting a new member join the family in his stead. This change was inaugurated during Metal Oper’Art 2017 festival in Strasbourg, which took place in the National Opera and live streamed on Arte Concert.

In 2021, Grorr makes a big comeback with the full-length album with the titel ” Ddulden’s Last Flight”. A new concept album paying homage to the classics of adventure movies’ original soundtracks.

French metal act GRORR has signed a record deal with Swedish label ViciSolum Productions. The new album ”The Unknown Citizens” will be released world wide November 14.

Grorr was created in 2005 in Pau (France). They have often been classified as progressive death metal, mixing technical modern metal and traditional instruments from all around the world. Grorr surprises and gathers both organic and powerful music imprinted with various atmospheres.

Since the beginning, it has always been essential for the band to relate social fables. Grorr gives shape to these stories and creates his albums working on storyboards in the first place. In 2012, the release of the concept album ”Anthill” marks the end of a trilogy dedicated to the bugs, offering a journey inside the life of the ants.

The bands up-coming album ”The Unknown Citizens”, that is based on the poem by W.H. Auden, with the same name, relates the fates of three ordinary citizens. Auden writes ”Were they free? Were they happy? The question is absurd; if something was wrong, we would have known for sure”. The album takes a closer look at that question.

Once again through this three-part work, Grorr writes a new social fable that deals with common people forgotten by history. This new album tells the story of three different lives imprinted with three different atmospheres. Grorr announces a darker opus but at the same time more melodic and well handled.
