Boston stoner/fuzz rock outfit GOZU have shared "Corinthian Leatherface", the lead single from their upcoming sixth studio album Gozu VI, due May 15th via Blacklight Media/Metal Blade Records. The eight-track record was produced and mixed by Benny Grotto at Boston's Mad Oak Studios.
Singer/guitarist Marc Gaffney describes the album as "a soulful, straight-forward, guitar-driven record" shaped by emotional intensity and relentless woodshedding. The band cites QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, QUEEN, and Motown harmonies as key reference points.
To celebrate Gozu VI, GOZU will co-headline a US run with New York stoner/doom outfit Restless Spirit, kicking off May 24th in Providence, RI and wrapping June 27th in Cambridge, MA.
