GOLD & Ketzer announce ‘No Image No Stars Tour’
GOLD, the post-everything, dark rock group, fronted by the enigmatic Milena Eva, are taking their wave-making album No Image (Ván Records/Profound Lore Records) on tour for the first time since its release in October. Recently No Image reared its ugly head in many year-end lists from musicians (eg. Converge’s Jake Bannon and Teenage Bottlerocket’s Kody Templeman), journalists (eg. New York Times, Terrorizer and Metal Hammer Germany) and music lovers alike. In February GOLD will bring the album’s silver-lined darkness to venues in Germany, Netherlands and Denmark. They will be joined by blackened metal prodigies Ketzer - who just released their new album, Starless, through Metal Blade - on the weekend dates.

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.
No Image is out now via Ván Records - available to order HERE (via Profound Lore in North America).
