NEWS: Golgothan Remains journey to distant realms!
The long awaited return of Sydney Australians Golgothan Remains has been set for 22nd November by Dark Descent Records who have announced they will be distributing a concept EP from the Death Metal masters. In follow up on 2022’s “Adorned In Ruin“, the band have announced the record is a concept release recounting a journey across a mystical, barren world cloaked in darkness, fittingly titled “Bearer of Light, Matriarch of Death“. Crushing production courtesy of Greg Chandler at Priory Recording Studios and artwork by Christian Kiesling of Misanthropic Art are on offer with “Andromeda” now streaming.
Vocalist Matthieu Van den Brande comments: “It is a wrought, and evil love story about two centuries old creatures trying to find companionship but due to their strong evil spirit are unable to exist with another powerful figure by their side. Early in the writing process, the EP’s lyrical themes were, just like the music, created as one flowing and entwined story. This collection of songs was written at a certain time and expanded upon the more atmospheric side of the band. The songs are very much connected and the first time we see the release as a single piece if you will. The journey through time and space which is relayed in the EP’s four tracks has been beautifully expressed in Chris’ [Christian Kiesling of Misanthropic Art] painting. The piece amazingly captures the story’s setting, landscapes and aura. It was a great collaboration, and we are extremely pleased with the result!”
