GosT announce new album ‘Rites of Love and Reverence’

GOST have announced a new album!

Titled Rites of Love and Reverence, the upcoming album from the blackened synthwave project is the follow-up to 2019’s Valediction and is scheduled to be released in August this year, via Century Media Records.

“I have recently been fixated on the subject of witchcraft and its effect on women throughout history,” says the band mastermind of the upcoming album. “I myself practice rituals to help clear my mind and focus on my day to day endeavors. This curiosity into witchcraft history and my own traditions, combined to inspire the new album.”

Once the concept of the album was clear there was only one artist that GOST could picture working with – the Dutch photographer Nona Limmen. “I have been a fan of Nona Limmen’s work for some time now. The inspiration for the new album is much about witchcraft from the feminine perspective. For women, throughout history, witchcraft has been negative, empowering, poisonous and beautiful. The moment I saw this photograph by Nona, I could not imagine using anything else to convey the album’s content as beautifully and powerfully as this image does.”

Whilst track list details and further album information is yet to be unveiled, you can view both the artwork for the upcoming album below:

Rites of Love and Reverence is set for release on August 13th via Century Media Records. Pre-orders will be available soon.
