GOST‘s critically lauded Prophecy full-length is out now on Steel Blade Information. The document claimed a number of Billboard chart positions upon its first week of launch, together with #1 Digital Albums, #14 Present Exhausting Rock Albums, #20 Prime New Artist Albums, and extra.
GOST exists in the dead of night crack between black metallic and essentially the most shadowy finish of digital music. For the reason that launch of the Radio Macabre EP in the beginning of 2013, and the remorseless digital nightmare of their Cranium debut album six months later, Texas-based multi-instrumentalist, producer, and main-brain James Lollar has turn out to be an more and more singular drive in music. Much more aggressive and sinister than the synthwave he’s usually grouped with, GOST is a harsh and distinctive digital nightmare that takes the listener proper into the center of the abyss.
Prophecy serves as Lollar’s most exhilarating and harmful sounding work up to now. It’s a document that completely displays the horror and grim anxieties of a world beset with non secular and political overreach, and progress, “being rolled again to the fucking Nineteen Fifties.” Prophecy was recorded by Lollar alone in Texas throughout a burst of creativity on the finish of 2022. Following the experimentation and extra melodic touches of 2019′s Valediction, the document additionally acts as one thing of a return to older roots, to recapture the spirit of GOST.
From the commercial scrape of “Demise In Bloom,” the doomy “Decadent Decay,” and the demonic pulse of “Golgotha,” Lollar welds collectively components of pulsing synthwave, the otherworldly nastiness of black metallic, and the pound and snarl of Ministry at their most unhinged to create an entire that sounds genuinely harmful, someplace between metallic and a rave in Hell.
Prophecy is on the market on CD, vinyl, and digital codecs. Discover ordering choices at: metalblade.com/gost

“Hellish blasts of blackened industrial like ‘Demise In Bloom’ and ‘Digital Demise’ harken again to the digital demonology of 2018′s Possessor. Whereas harshness eclipses hooks, mascara traces stay: ‘Widow Tune’ enjoys the silence of humanity’s demise.” — Decibel Journal
“Bewitching black-metal hisses laid over thumping darkwave synths and thwacking industrial drums. A match made in Hell.” — Revolver on “Widow Tune“
“The world his music inhabits is nocturnal and sinister, bathed in crimson neon; whereas its digital beats may level a bony finger within the route of the dancefloor, the atmosphere it portrays is extra ritual than rave…Prophecy continues on this established trajectory, with Satanic soundbites and Biblical art work conjuring an end-of-days vibe altogether consistent with the horror film synths reverberating all through.” — Kerrang
“…whereas every track may stand alone as a pop banger, there’s a particular circulate to the album as properly… In case you’re annoyed with the world right this moment and don’t know whether or not to get mad or dance about, it this document will make you do each. It’s a complicated feeling, however bear with us; it’s additionally surprisingly cathartic.” — MetalSucks
“GOST supplies each synth and metallic purists a focus to indulge upon with hellish glee. Prophecy will little doubt go down as a stylistic staple, an instance of the best way to make immense music of infinite flavors that pulverizes all lucky sufficient to be in its wake.” — No Clear Singing
