On January 13th 2015, Dark Descent Records will release “The Deathmass Cloak”, the debut full-length from San Diego-based death metal band Ghoulgotha.
After a demo, EP and a split, Ghoulgotha emphatically announces their presence in the metal realm with the 53-minute “The Deathmass Cloak”. The album is the product of the very warped and prolific W. Sarantopoulos (AKA Elektrokutioner), so expect some of the most outside the box brutality the underground has to offer. Produced by Damian Herring (Horrendous) at Subterranean Watchtower Studio, “The Deathmass Cloak” is a weird and winding death metal album destined to satisfy even the harshest critics. Cover art for the album comes courtesy of Mattias Frisk (Vanhelgd).
Dark Descent Records is now taking pre-orders for “The Deathmass Cloak” here.
Check out a taste of what the band calls Unorthodoom/Unorthodeath with the track "Austere Urns" below.
Tracklist:
01. Solar Awakening (Intro)
02. Gazing into Melted Night
03. A Neck for the Nameless Noose
04. Austere Urns
05. Saturnal Rites
06. Prophetic Oration of Self
07. Arteries Unblest
08. Citadel of Heathen Flesh
09. Cartilage Imperfect
10. Levitate Within the Curse
W. Sarantopoulos (Decrepitaph, Father Befouled, Encoffination, Wooden Stake, Festered, Scaremaker and more) moved from Dallas to San Diego and began searching for musicians to bring some Doom/Death to Southern California. Shortly after moving, he hooked up with drummer C. Koryn (Ascended Dead) who shared a lot of the same influences. Their playing styles worked perfectly with each other, making the song writing process very easy. The two jammed for a few months while looking for other members to complete the line up.
The band name Ghoulgotha was chosen as it represents our dedication to rotting old skull Doom/Death. In the summer of 2012, J. Moreno (Ascended Dead) and I. Mann were added on bass/vocals and second guitar, respectively. The full horde quickly put together a two song demo/promo called "No Peace To Rest In" which has been released in September 2012.
