Gold Announce June European Tour Supporting Converge
GOLD, the post-everything, dark rock group, are following up their recent 'No Image No Stars' tour by heading back out on the road with metallic hardcore pioneers, Converge.
GOLD's recent album No Image appeared in many musicians' year-end lists including Converge’s Jacob Bannon.
Vocalist Milena Eva commented: "We don't have to explain how exciting this is, do we? This is such a great opportunity to involve new crowds in our spectrum of darkness and intimate heaviness. To make our debut on Spanish soil with such an adventurous, forward driving package. To return to France and Switzerland and present our true iconoclastic selves. This promises to be a short but impactful trek. Many thanks to Converge for having us!"
GOLD will join Converge and US hardcore punk outfit, Harm's Way on a five-day jaunt through Spain, France, Germany and Switzerland. Dates are as follows:
- 18.06.16 Spain Madrid @ Sala Penelope
- 19.06.16 Spain Badalona @ Sala Estraperlo
- 20.06.16 France Feyzin/Lyon @ Epicerie Moderne
- 21.06.16 Switzerland Monthey @ Pont Rouge
- 22.06.16 Germany Mannheim @ Juz
GOLD was initially conceived in 2011 by guitarist Thomas Sciarone (ex-The Devil’s Blood) and vocalist Milena Eva. Their mission statement was to play a distinct form of heavy rock as a monument to civilization’s decline. With a vocalist named after Franz Kafka's lover, it may come as no surprise that GOLD's unique output deals with solitude, love and absence of prospect.
Their debut album Interbellum showed the promise from this unique band through its many riffs, hooks, and most notably, Milena’s unique and distinct vocal delivery. Now three years after their debut, GOLD return with No Image an album that goes much beyond the promise laid down with Interbellum.
Recorded and mixed by Jeff Zeigler (Kurt Vile, The War On Drugs, Nothing) and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Yob, Bell Witch, Sunn 0)), Leviathan etc), No Image is the sound of a band truly finding their feet, a group of individuals who are not afraid to take responsibility for their own place on this earth, and above all, to question everything that is put in front of them.
