Today, Swedish doom/black metal outfit Golgata released its third full-length, Ur eld och aska, through Ketzer records in collaboration with Satanath records and is available for listening in the player below.
From the dark woods of southern Sweden, Golgata rose from the ground in 2014, but the story goes deeper than that. The duo wrote their first tunes of misery back in 1994. After 20 years, these lost souls gathered again to become vessels for music that would become Golgata. The music is inspired by the history and nature that surrounded the part of Sweden where the duo originates, and it's raw and intense but at the same time melodic and atmospheric. The lyrics are darkly poetic and narrative. With music and lyrics combined, Golgata explores the past to describe their view of the modern-day. In 2014 the band recorded its first songs and self-released a couple of EPs. But it was 2019 when Golgata's first album was released - through Satanath record. On this first full-length album, Skam, the band followed up its vision to create raw black metal with melodic elements, while Golgata was shown in the light for a bigger audience. The second album, Tempel (2020), was quite a leap from the previous album, with passages that could be described as dreamlike and atmospheric. But the aggression and the rawness were not compromised. Now Golgata is back with its most elaborated album so far. The material varies between midtempo, gloomy, and sometimes doomlike passages followed by fast and devastating riffs. The songs are about life journeys and mankind's diversity seeking a better life. With its atmospheric soundscape, Golgata will hold you in a grim grip from the first song to the last. The Ur eld och aska album will take you through fire and ashes, as the title in Swedish implies. Link
