Gozer, formed from the ashes of post-metal project Archelon, are to release their debut album An Endless Static via Trepanation Recordings on 17 June. Craig & TJ founded the band in 2013, which shifted and changed in lineup many times until Kieran of Bruxism joined on bass. Having delved into heavy and experimental music, the trio have now come together with new vigour.
The Sheffield band comment: “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.”
An Endless Static was written and produced in the final hours of Archelon’s existence. Recording took place during the 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.
