Gold

Optimist

Van

***After the artistic success of 2015's No Image—which united journalists, musicians, music lovers and even a pro-wrestler in its appraisal—GOLD returns with its successor. Together with producer RANDALL DUNN (a.o. Sunn O))), Earth, Ash Borer, Marissa Nadler), Gold have put their angular drive, their blackened guitar textures, and the composed yet vulnerable vocal delivery of MILENA EVA in an even broader context. Gold have created an almost unlimited space for their unique unity of beauty and cruelty to crush and confuse even more. LP packaged in gatefold jackets and pressed on 180-gram white vinyl.

Gold

No Image

Profound Lore

Hailing from The Netherlands, Gold was conceived in 2011 by guitarist Thomas Sciarone (ex-The Devil’s Blood) and vocalist Milena Eva; their distinct form of heavy rock is a monument to civilization’s decline. Debut album Interbellum (Van Records) showed the promise of this unique band through its many riffs, hooks and, most notably, Eva’s unique vocal delivery.  Three years after their debut, Gold delivers on this promise with a a rawer, heavier, and much darker followup. No Image builds upon the foundation laid by predecessor, embracing its dark / death rock, loud indie rock, experimental music, and post-punk roots and delivering an altogether more enchanting, addictive and seductive work.  Recorded and mixed by Jeff Zeigler (Kurt Vile, The War On Drugs, Nothing) and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (YOB, Bell Witch, Sunn O))), Leviathan, etc.), No Image is the work of artists who have taken a good look in the mirror, pushed their ambitions, and reached deep within to collectively create a path of their own.
