South London’s bass and drums power-duo, GHOLD, begins their first North American tour in just one week. Supporting their revoltingly intense debut LP, Of Ruin, GHOLD will bring their monolithic sludge to stateside fans as direct support for Norwegian avant-rock explorers, Årabrot.
Several new shows have been added to the upcoming tour, bringing the total of cities to be decimated by the GHOLD and Årabrot combo to twenty-three. The action begins on June 24th in Boston, after which it will wind its way throughout the country and into Canada in a mangled counter-clockwise path closing down in New York City on July 19th. Along the way, the tour package will be joined by the likes of Rabbits, Towers, Dispirit, Lycus and many others, including Pinkish Black on the final six dates.
Recorded at lss Studio with Dan Miller, Of Ruin and mastered by James Plotkin (Khanate, OLD),GHOLD‘s commanding low-end esotericism and chopped-and-screwed rhythmic capabilities bellow forth with ceaselessly enthralling grit and grime on Of Ruin. The components of bass and drums are bound together so tightly that they resemble a singular contorted entity, kneading grooves and manta-driven insanity with explosive results. Intrinsically heavy and elastically supercharged, GHOLDcreates a strain of viscous rock that is as devastating as it is unpredictable, pushing down the scales in a myriad of manners to achieve an ever heavier outcome. Fans of Melvins, Eagle Twin, Lightning Bolt, Corrupted, Thrones, Yob, Towers and the like, do not miss this slow-motion mayhem.
