Boston stoner/fuzz rock outfit GOZU will release their long-awaited new full-length, Gozu VI, on May 15th through Blacklight Media/Metal Blade Records.
“We wanted something that really moved and hit a nerve,” says GOZU singer/guitarist Marc Gaffney on composing the band’s sixth studio album. “I was pretty roughed up emotionally while writing. I played guitar more in the past two years than ever before. I would work, go to the gym, come home, eat and then play guitar until I went to bed.”
The end result is eight action-packed tracks, produced and mixed by Benny Grotto at Boston’s Mad Oak Studios. Emotion is writ loud and large for the band that’s been praised for their “deep grooves, thick riff mechanics, soulful melodies,” and for creating a “musical stew that intoxicates the listener, sweeping them into another aural universe.”
Gaffney has spoken about the band’s, “maturity mixed with a childlike enthusiasm to play music,” and Gozu VI’s songs are proof positive. “I think this is more of a soulful, straight forward, guitar-driven album. Lyrically, this took on a whole different feel, and it wrote itself.”

I don't feel your sorrow
Time stands still, don't follow
Dug that hole too shallow
Take another pill, now swallow
Can you tell me what was said?
Don't wanna hear no more
You took what's mine
But I'm the one doing time
I'll never be fine
Cuz you crossed the line
Can you tell me what was said?
Don't wanna hear no more
Wanna stay lost, and never found
What I wanted, failed to come around
Can you tell me what was said?
Don't wanna hear no more
Making a place, you can't go
Can't carry your weight no more
Saving the moment, will I be able
To ever be set free
Will I ever be set
Can you tell me what was said?
Don't wanna hear no more
