Goliathan seamlessly blends crushing instrumental doom metal and dreamy post-rock, and they just unearthed some raw, primal, early recordings that date all the way back to 2006, documenting the band’s first and most primitive incarnation. The epic, three-song, 37-minute set—Artifact—has just been remixed by Toshi Kasai (Melvins, Red Sparowes, Helmet) and mastered by Gene Grimaldi (Failure, Fantômas). It will be released Oct. 30, digitally and also on limited-edition 10″ vinyl.
Through their alternately punishing and ethereal instrumentals, Goliathan tells stories as vast as geologic time itself. Tales 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.
