Ghoulgotha To Release "To Starve The Cross"
Southern California's Ghoulgotha have re-emerged from the depths to announce the impending release of the new album "To Starve the Cross." Dark Descent Records will unleash this monster June 13th on CD and digital formats with vinyl treatment coming soon after.
"To Starve the Cross" was mixed and mastered by Damian Herring at Subterranean Watchtower Studios with artwork by Mattias Frisk.
The band's 2015 debut - "The Deathmass Cloak" - was praised by critics for its demented re-visioning of doom-infused, old-school death metal. "To Starve the Cross" sees Ghoulgotha twist an already abstract reality into forms never before experienced.

Ghoulgotha Reveals "The Deathmass Cloak"
On January 13th, Dark Descent Records will release the debut full-length from San Diego-based death metal band Ghoulgotha. The following press release was also issued about the album:
"After a demo, EP and a split, Ghoulgotha emphatically announces their presence in the metal realm with the 53-minute The Deathmass Cloak. Produced by Damian Herring (Horrendous) at Subterranean Watchtower Studio, The Deathmass Cloak is a weird and winding death metal album destined to satisfy even the harshest critics. Cover art by Mattias Frisk (Vanhelgd).
"W. Sarantopoulos (AKA Elektrokutioner - also of Decrepitah, Encoffincation, and more) moved from Dallas to San Diego and began searching for musicians that were looking to bring some Doom/Death to Southern California. Shortly after moving, he hooked up with drummer C. Koryn (Ascended Dead) who shared a lot of the same influences. Their playing styles worked perfectly with each other, making the song writing process very easy. The two jammed for a few months while looking for other members to complete the line up.
"The band name Ghoulgotha was chosen as it represents our dedication to rotting old skull doom/death. In the summer of 2012, J. Moreno (Ascended Dead) and I. Mann were added on bass/vocals and second guitar, respectively. The full horde quickly put together a two song demo/promo called No Peace To Rest In which will be released in September 2012. The band recently signed with Dark Descent Records, who will unleash The Deathmass Cloak in early 2015." More...
