The new, third album of Czech sludge metallers GOTF! GOTF were once praised as the heaviest and loudest sludge metal act coming from the Czech scene in decades. Their uncompromising droning sound and hypnotic rhythms slayed both live and from their recordings (s/t, 2007 and "The Eclipse", 2010 - both Epidemie Rec.). GOTF have built themselves a name within the metal and stoner scene, thanks to many intense concerts - sharing the stage with bands like Crowbar, Grief, Wolves in The Throne Room, A Storm of Light, Capricorns, Lair of The Minotaur, etc. Unfortunately, GOTF split up too soon; early 2011. But after eight years, during which time Aleš (drums) spent mostly on the road working with Unsane, Melvins, Sunn O))), Ulver, or High on Fire, the original 2 founding members crossed paths once again - and started writing new music. And now, GOTF return with their 3rd album! Their very own crushing and heavy sound is right away recognizable from the first tones, now developed further more thanks to the studio engineer extraordinaire, Amak Golden (Killing Joke, Unsane, Helmet) who did the whole recordings, mixing and mastering of the album in the Golden Hive Studios in Prague. The album is an instant milestone in GOTF's legacy true to the band's uncompromising sludge metal intoxication and total fascination with slow and hypnotic rhythms. All 4 new tracks, promise a sonic trip through earsplitting dark worlds doomed to eternal damnation. The album artwork continues in the dark, ominous, black and white tradition of previous GOTF cds - respectively the work on the past albums. They yet again teamed up with another incredibly talented illustrator, Marald van Haasteren, inspired by album's lyrics and monstrosities carried by self-proclaimed messiah Roch Thériault, hit the Golgotha nail right on the head and created captivating and multi-layered imagery that is in Marald's own words "blacker than black" and absolutely resonates with the overall album's sound and tone.
