Ghold, volume-clad summoners of low end esotericism and chopped-and-screwed rhythmic ferocity today release the second single from their upcoming album, Of Ruin . "All Eyes Broke" (personal favourite) is the perfect example of Ghold's progressive songwriting prowess. Haunted vocal incantations rise and fall to a whisper, lurching bass lines and cascading drums drop in and out at surprising intervals, all the while, mischievous and unpredictable sounds prevail before the whole song erupts to reach its climatic finale.

LISTEN TO "ALL EYES BROKE"

The two components of bass and drums are bound together so tight on Of Ruin that they resemble a singular gnarled entity, kneading together groove and melody like putty in the palm of their hands, with explosive results. Intrinsically heavy and elastically supercharged, Ghold create a strain of viscous rock that is as plainly devastating as it is capricious, pushing down the scales in a myriad of manners to achieve an ever heavier outcome. The riffs of the bass approach a murky mysticism, likely to crumble in landslides of overblown fuzz, before snapping in to strict rigidity comparable to what Motörhead would sound like if you isolated the rhythm section. The wealth of ideas presented by Paul Antony and Aleks Wilson on Of Ruin surpass the imaginations of the majority.

Of Ruin, mastered by James Plotkin, shall be available on CD and LP formats via Ritual Productions on 16th March. Pre order the CD via Ritual Productions.
