Their first self-titled project was released in 2013, which they followed up with their debut album, &#8216;Future Is In Our Hands&#8217;, in 2015.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Weight Of The World&#8217; comes with a music video shot in an abandoned factory. The snow lays all around, while Gottweist heats it up inside. Heavy guitar riffs and and strong drums compete with the vocals and roars of the band, spitting out lyrics such as &#8220;no more repression\/they rip your soul\/until you disappear&#8221;. The band is rugged up against the cold but there&#8217;s no need, they&#8217;re on fire and fill the clip with high powered energy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find out more about Gottweist online on <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/gottweist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/gottweist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_99262\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qpZQ4Cz1GQU?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"GOTTWEIST - Weight Of The World (Official Music Video)\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/qpZQ4Cz1GQU\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Montreal rockers Gottweist formed in 2005, and are influenced by Iron Maiden and Bullet For My Valentine.
