Gorgon — Muscadeath Festival, Vallet, 2026

Why this recording

At Muscadeath, Gorgon held the 10 pm to 10:45 pm slot on Friday 18 September 2026, at the Champilambart in Vallet: the video's 44 minutes match the length of the scheduled set. It was shot by Concerts Music Live, an independent videographer who states it was filmed in 4K with the band's permission, rather than by the festival itself. The footage shows the current line-up built around Chris, the founder who has remained at the heart of the project since 1991, on a festival stage dedicated to extreme music in western France.

Filmed live concert in 4K by the French band Gorgon at the Muscadeath festival in Vallet on September 18, 2026. Formed in Antibes in 1991 around its founder Chris, Gorgon is one of the veterans of French black metal: after a first period that ended in 2001, the project returned in 2017 and has since released on Osmose Productions. This full concert restores the old-school black metal aesthetic — cutting riffs, dark atmospheres, extreme aggression — in the raw conditions of a festival stage devoted to extreme music. The polished live capture, shot in Ultra HD, highlights the darkness and intensity of the set, driven by compositions drawn from a discography that runs from The Lady Rides a Black Horse (1995) to recent albums such as In Deepest Penumbra (2025). For fans of live metal and French black metal, this filmed live concert in Vallet is a valuable document on an underground band that, more than thirty years after its debut, upholds an uncompromising vision of the genre.
