About
“Gigan is an American technical and progressive death metal band founded in 2006 by left-handed lead guitarist Eric Hersemann (formerly of Diabolic and Hate Eternal). Originally based in Tampa, Florida and now operating out of Chicago, the trio takes its name from the alien cyborg kaiju who debuted in the 1972 film Godzilla vs. Gigan — a fitting namesake for a band that has spent nearly two decades twisting tech-death into something stranger, more dissonant, and more alien than nearly anyone else in the genre. Across releases like Multi-Dimensional Fractal-Sorcery and Super Science (2013) and Anomalous Abstractigate Infinitessimus (2017), Gigan has carved out a singular reputation for hallucinatory, kaleidoscopic compositions built around Hersemann's left-handed riffing, theremin textures, and rhythms that refuse to sit still. They are widely regarded as one of the most creative outliers in modern technical death metal.”
