NEWS: Cogas rise from the rotting filth?

It seems there is no end to the depravity that London based Sardinian Blackened Death Metal band Cogas can produce as they offer “The Noble Rot” as the latest single cut from their sophomore album “Among the Dead: How to Become a Ghost“. Set for a 24th April appearance the album is said to masterfully balance cold, sorrowful Black Metal atmospheres with a relentlessly powerful Death Metal rhythmic backbone in order to create a dynamic interplay between melancholic melodies and sheer sonic force. This fusion of aggression and melody results in a dark and immersive experience that sets a new milestone in their artistic evolution.

The band comment: “With this album, we give voice and sound to the pain of those who have been lost in the postcard-perfect hell called Sardinia.

Generational traumas—past, present, and future—are told through the wounds, both physical and spiritual, of an ordinary young man.

‘Among the Dead: How to Become a Ghost’ is our necessity and will to bring Sardinian extreme metal towards a bitter truth, setting aside the themes that have stagnantly plagued our musical world for too many years, in order to shed light on subjects we consider closer to reality.

Our album is the black shroud of suicidal death—mental and physical—of hundreds of young people from our island.

An island we so proudly flaunt as a monument to our virtues, when in reality, the virtues we boast about are nothing more than words carried away by the September mistral. 

Thus, we dedicate this latest Opus to the souls who are losing themselves in our homeland, to those who have been lost, and to those who will be lost—guilty only of being too sensitive for a land cursed by its own allure. Have the courage to break the chains you have fastened around your own wrists”.
