History & Biography
Based in the regressive American state of North Dakota, the seeds of Gorgatron were stomped by Paul Johnson in 2006 and a Demo '08 with two tracks appeared. The band released a full-length demo called Torturetorium two years later and included the two songs. Guitarist Stein left, but returned in 2018 before leaving again after Agony Reborn of 2022. The candid ZeroBudget Records, which was a non-profit punk imprint, issued Inner Supremacy in late 2014. The cover artwork was ironic given the inspiration behind the band’s name. Bassist/inked pro Cliff Gustafson left in 2014. The band signed on with Extreme Management Group, which also managed Suffocation, etc., in 2017. The act was billed at Manitoba Metal Fest 2019. Not much happened, but the band returned with a demo called Pathogenic Automation in 2020 that Blood Blast Distribution was uploading onto streaming sites. Agony Reborn was a demo in 2022. Schuh joined on guitar now. The band toured Mexico and the USA.

A full-length arrived in June 2024. Gorgatron was in Europe, including an appearance at Obscene Extreme, in early summer. Voraath announced it would be supporting Gorgatron and Casket Robbery on the Mechanical Necrosis Tour of the USA in the summer. The band booked several concerts with Pessimist in the USA in early 2025. The act was booked for Loud As Hell Open Air Festival alongside Revocation, Opal In Sky and others. Atheist announced it was joining the 'anniversary' hordes and touring Europe on the occasion of the 35th birthday of its debut, Piece Of Time. It was a year behind schedule. Death Rattle, Gorgatron, Infested Angel and Intrepid were the openers. Krisiun announced a North American tour to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Conquerors Of Armageddon album for the autumn of 2025. The band was to perform the album in its entirety. Support came from Abysmal Dawn, Pyrexia and Gorgatron. Matt Johnson joined Pyrexia in 2024. Karl Schmidt joined Pyrexia in 2025. Coop Schuh left in 2026.

Gorgatron signed with Time To Kill Records for the release of its fourth full-length album, Turmoil, in 2026. Guitarists Billy Zahn and Henri Jourdan, as well as singer Colin Richardson were all new as of 2026.

The band’s monicker is borrowed from a minor villain in the American animated television series, Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
