Speaking about themes of human and spiritual natures, Goreslave uses the life and its traps as inspiration. The name "Goreslave" is a reference to the form how the mankind leads itself through the times, transforming the actions and thoughts in a state of complete slavery, imprisoned by dogmas, outdated inheritances and absorbing the imperfections and alienations of a sick humanity in its essence. Fighting for the Underground union, Goreslave performs a Brutal Death Metal, fast, morbid and extreme, but with melodic and heavy roots. This product is result from a lot of musical influences.
