Gargoyl Releases A New Drum Play Through Video For 'Plastic Nothing'

Drummer James Knoerl of Progressive Grunge Rock band Gargoyl has shared a new drum play-through video for the song "Plastic Nothing". The track is taken from the band's debut self-titled full-length album, which was released by Season of Mist in October.

The band recently performed as part of the October installment of Metal Injection's Slay at Home festival and have made public a clip of the band's virtual performance.

Formed in early 2018 by guitarist Dave Davidson (Revocation) and guitarist/vocalist Luke Roberts (Ayahuasca), the groundwork for Gargoyl was laid when the two men met while on tour. Gargoyl’s two-song Asomatous demo was released in March 2019, setting the stage for their eventual signing to Season of Mist and release of their debut LP this October.

The album’s drums were recorded in July 2019 with Chris Johnson at GodCity Studios in Salem, Massachusetts; guitars were tracked with Greg Dawson at BWC Studios outside of Toronto. Vocals were recorded by Roberts at his home studio.

Davidson comments on making the new album with the band:

“Working with someone in more of a 50/50 kind of collaborative style was new for me. It’s nice having someone to split those writing duties with, someone who is just as invested in every little single intricacy and detail. It allowed me to function in a different sort of role, which was refreshing. I think that also led to more creativity because I’m writing in a different style, writing with all new members and taking on a different writing role in a band.”
