Gozer announce debut album ‘An Endless Static’
GOZER have announced their debut album!
Titled An Endless Static, the upcoming album from the UK post-metal band is their debut full-length effort and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Trepanation Recordings.
Recording took place during the turbulent and challenging times brought on by the COVID-19 Pandemic, which had its hand in shifting the sounds of the album and solidified the desire for change felt by the members of what would become GOZER.
Speaking about the upcoming debut album, the band says, “as individuals we are touched by different struggles in our mental wellbeing, but one thing we agree on is that it’s like never ending noise that forms a constant sense of dread and discomfort. For us, coming together and creating art and music offers a respite from the daily trials and tribulations, drowning it out with our own expression and the expenditure of creative energies. The world we live in is designed to suppress those who don’t fit in the views of those who claim themselves in power, and the more power they gain, the louder the noise becomes. We align ourselves with those who deserve to have their voices heard and have been silenced for too long, and within all the internal disparity and discourse felt by those who are different, we hope they would find the same respite we feel in the music we have created.”
Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming album; Fading Light. Speaking about the new song, the band adds, “when we started writing this album Fading Light was one of the first tracks we wrote & it just fell into place musically & once Tom Wight [HUNDRED YEAR OLD MAN] added French horn & synth it just elevated the songs sense of dread. Writing the lyrics for Fading Light I drew a lot from my battles with my own mental health, not realising how cathartic it really was going to be. But having the ability to focus some of my anger, sadness & loss really helped me grow and let go of a lot of things. It’s okay to not be okay.”
