Valediction

RED Ah here they are. Guess they were on Bandcamp the whole time.

Valediction is perhaps GosT's most "out there" work to date, even more so than Prophecy. It's an absolute conglomerate of genres, which ended up being pretty controversial within GosT's fandom, and even caused a division.

Me personally? I like it. I had a hunch GosT would start to a more metal-esque style since Possessor, and it's even more prominent in Prophecy.

Fitting album name, too.
Say hello to the new GosT, everyone. Favorite track: Relentless Passing.

about

Last year Century Media Records welcomed the mysterious producer known as GosT, who embodies the character of Baalberith on his propulsive synthwave solo project that is channeling his fascination with the occult, John Carpenter and 80s slasher flicks.

As a teenager he played in metal bands, but eventually drifted toward electronic music which would later become the foundation of his powerful synthwave/retrowave sound. With its haunting atmospherics and aesthetics influenced by the blackest corners of the metal world his music quickly garnered GosT a loyal following within the rock and metal community worldwide. Apart from playing his own headlining tours in Europe and North America he used the interest from his growing fan base to hit the road with the likes of diverse acts such as Pertubator, Carpenter Brut, 3TEETH, Pallbearer, Black Dahlia Murder, Power Trip, Khemmis, Havok and Skeletal Remains. Earlier this year GosT announced the invocation of Carreau who joined Baalberith live on stage. For the recording, mix and mastering of the new opus, “Valediction”, GosT teamed up with Jaime Gomez Arellano who worked with the likes of Paradise Lost, Solstafir, Priomordial, Myrkur and many more. The result is a volatile mix that ranges from synthwave/retrowave to the most raging and extreme caverns of black metal.

GosT was one of the first synth artists I discovered after Look Mum No Computer and Mega Drive and this album remains an all-time favourite. I've been listening to it for years thanks to the free download policy and it's about time I gave a little back. agentorangejuice
