Bandet er straks tilbake med nytt album.

Golgotha@Facebook

24. april slipper Abstract Emoptions albumet ‘Hubris’, tipset kom fra Chris@Imperative PR. Og dette noteres for fans av Candlemass, Novembers Doom, Paradise Lost og My Dying Bride.

‘Hubris’ følger opp albumet Spreading The Wings Of Hope fra 2024, og med ‘Hubris’ loves vi «…an album forged in the pitiless furnace of life; eight songs steeped in the struggle, turmoil and challenges that shape us, that make us human. Reflecting on their latest creation the band have emphatically stated, these are not fictional stories, but fragments of real life turned into music.

The band’s seventh full length studio release, Hubris sees the band delivering some of their darkest, most unflinching, raw and honest material to date. Drawing on personal struggles and the real emotional hardships faced in everyday life, Hubris is an important and pivotal album for Golgotha.»

Too Late For A Simple Life

Singel nummer to kom nylig: «With Too Late, Golgotha reveal one of the most intense and emotional sides of Hubris, combining the crushing weight of their trademark doom/death majesty with a strong atmospheric and narrative depth.»

Vi koster også på oss albumets førstesingel, ‘A Simple Life’, som åpner med en «…brave, exposed vocal from María J. Lladó that focuses the attention, drawing the listener in before the full tide of Golgotha’s overwhelming sound crashes over them. The poignancy of emotion in this track, with its hypnotic refrain, flows like blood through every chord, every note.»

Kontraster

«The gargantuan, crawling riffs and huge, monstrous vocals of Broken Toy open out into a reflective, melancholy melody – harsh vocals switching to Maria’s clear, emotive tones – as contrasts blend and entwine. Throughout Hubris these two sides of Golgotha, the forceful, bleak and blackened and the doomed, delicate beauty dance with each other in a deftly harmonious, disparate duality. Too Late is deep, dark, slow motion death metal until a melodious chorus arrives, allowing a pale, gentle light into the black and a vibrant solo is a burst of flame in the cold murk. From Blind, in all its tarnished, faded majesty, like a funeral of kings, to the concluding Intolerance – a musical conflict between the nobility of sorrow and the raw pain of grief – this is an album that lays bare its heart and shows all its scars. It will hollow you out, caressing your hidden anguish and drawing your wounds into the light.»
