girth units

"Living In Truth" is metal guitar + drums duo Girth's debut album from 2004. Girth consisted of drummer Peijman Kouretchian and guitarist Dave Webb.

The debut record by Seattle duo GIRTH is a genre-crushing onslaught of intelligent and accessible instrumental fury. From mathematical grind to epic soundscapes the band envelops the listener with their huge sound and mature, varied compositions inspired by diverse acts such as The Melvins, Hendrix, Fantomas, John Coltrane, Dillinger Escape Plan, John Zorn, etc.

"Living in Truth" is graced with exceptional packaging and artwork designed by Stephen O' Malley (Southern Lord, Hydrahead, Sunn O))))) and the extraordinary fidelity of Producer Randall Dunn (Secret Chiefs 3, Critters Buggin', ASVA etc.).

"Cultivated post-modern-math-rock virtuosity. All their tunes blaze." – Portland Mercury

"Few albums pass through my ears that make me look at music in a completely different way, as bold as it may sound, this is one of those albums." – Indie Workshop (indieworkshop.com)

"Wow! The spazzed-string strangulation and octopoidal drumming make this one for all seeking the ultimate mathy heaviness." – Aquarius Records

.... remains an engaging and grossly underrated release in the metal world given the talents of its two primary members.
