Through their punishing and dreamy instrumentals, GOLIATHAN is committed to telling stories of epic beginnings and inevitable ends, of the epochal crawl of continents, apocalyptic future landscapes and, perhaps most impactfully, of nature finally—and violently—reclaiming its rightful dominion over man. GOLIATHAN.
Guitarist and principal creative force Shawn Doster puts it simply: “Sometimes the sorrow is too great to put into words.”
“We want the music to communicate everything on its own,” adds Doster’s longtime collaborator, guitarist Kevin Cogill. “The story we tell is apocalyptic but with a twist. When I’m playing the songs, I’m picturing nature correcting itself in the wake of our destruction.”
