The Netherlands based dark alternative rock band Gggolddd announce fifth studio album, This Shame Should Not Be Mine, which will be released on the 1st of April 2022 via Artoffact Records. As well the band released the first single and video "Notes On How To Trust". This is the band's most ambitious and masterful work to date, This Shame Should Not Be Mine was conceived in the silence of 2020's pandemic lockdown, partly as a way for Gggolddd lead singer Milena Eva to confront parts of her past and partly in response to the Roadburn Festival's invitation to propose a commissioned piece for its 2021 online edition.
Milena Eva comments: "While the album tells the story of my personal experience with sexual assault, the song "Notes On How To Trust" is about learning how to trust again after such trauma. When every boundary is blurry and every person you meet is a possible risk, it's a challenge to keep sane."
In the silence of 2020's lockdown, Milena Eva was confronted with parts of her past that had been long buried. Bubbling up to the surface, repressed memories and traumatic events pushed their way into her daily life until they could no longer be ignored. With no choice but to confront her past, she accepted its presence in the present, an unwelcome houseguest during already uncomfortable times.
Visually, the album is complemented by stunning artwork courtesy of Milan-based photographer Szilveszter Makó. The images depicting Milena as a pre-Raphaelite beauty encased in armour display a metaphor for the emotional armour she has worn for years. With This Shame Should Not Be Mine, Gggolddd has delivered the boldest and ambitious work of their career to date. Capturing the essence of both extreme vulnerability and the strength gained from the process of reclaiming ownership of one's past, these ten tracks are an intimate anthology of transformative power.
