“Prophecy” – A Nightmarish Fusion of Synthwave & Metal 💀⚡

GOST’s latest album, “Prophecy”, is out now on Metal Blade Records and has already made a massive impact, landing multiple Billboard chart positions:
🏆 Electronic Albums
🏆 Current Hard Rock Albums
🏆 Top New Artist Albums

Blending darkwave, industrial, and black metal, GOST’s sonic world is as eerie as it is electrifying. The Texas-based multi-instrumentalist and producer has been a genre-defying force since the release of “Radio Macabre” (2013) and “Skull” (2013). Prophecy marks a return to the project’s harsher and more aggressive roots, delivering a relentless assault of pounding synth-driven brutality.

Critics Rave About “Prophecy” 🔥📢

🔥 Decibel Magazine“Hellish blasts of blackened industrial like ‘Death In Bloom’ and ‘Digital Death’ harken back to the digital demonology of 2018’s ‘Possessor.’ While harshness eclipses hooks, mascara traces remain: ‘Widow Song’ enjoys the silence of humanity’s demise.”

🔥 Revolver Magazine“Bewitching black-metal hisses laid over thumping darkwave synths and thwacking industrial drums. A match made in Hell.”

🔥 Kerrang!“The world his music inhabits is nocturnal and sinister, bathed in crimson neon; while its electronic beats might point a bony finger in the direction of the dancefloor, the environment it portrays is more ritual than rave…’

🔥 No Clean Singing“GOST provides both synth and metal purists a focal point to indulge upon with hellish glee. ‘Prophecy’ will no doubt go down as a stylistic staple, an example of how to make immense music of infinite flavors that pulverizes all fortunate enough to be in its wake.”

Antania Joins Psyclon Nine on U.S. ‘Devils Work’ Tour in 2025

The rising “Doom Bass” pioneers Antania are set to join industrial metal heavyweights Psyclon Nine on their highly anticipated ‘Devils Work’ Tour across the United States this spring. Known for their groundbreaking fusion of black metal, doom metal, and electronic bass music, Antania continues to captivate audiences with their innovative sound and visceral live performances.

Heralded as the inventors and champions of the “Doom Bass” subgenre, Antania has been active since June 2023, quickly carving a unique niche in the metal and electronic music scenes. Drawing influences from Slayer, Ministry, The Prodigy, Morbid Angel, and Deicide, the band has been likened to “the Slayer of bass music.”

The duo, composed of Dr. Luna (bass and electronics) and Kali Mortem (vocals), forgoes traditional string instruments, creating their sound by wrapping distortion around saw and sub-bass lines using a microbrute synthesizer. Sponsored by KAT Percussion, Dr. Luna delivers intricate polyrhythms over trap beats and blast beats, while Kali Mortem’s blackened, abrasive vocals evoke a haunting intensity.

“This tour is a dream collaboration,” said Dr. Luna, also a high priest at the Temple of Hecate in New York City. “We’re excited to bring our ‘Doom Bass’ sound to Psyclon Nine’s fans and see how the dark aesthetics of both bands resonate.”

Antania’s critically acclaimed debut album, The God Complex (January 2024, The Triad Records), has garnered praise from fans and press alike. Metal Digest called it “a filthy record of utter low-frequency brutality”, highlighting tracks like “Black Glitch Six” and “Trophy.” Their recent single “D3D Solz” further demonstrates their innovative sound, solidifying their place as pioneers of a new metal subgenre.

Tour Dates

The tour kicks off on January 31, 2025, at Brick By Brick in San Diego, CA, and spans multiple cities including Portland, Seattle, Detroit, and New York. The full schedule includes:

January 31, 2025 – Brick By Brick, San Diego, CA
