The German ritual-folk-formation :Golgatha: was
founded in 2004 by Christoph Donarski. The first
full length album ‘Waste Land’ after two
compilation tracks appeared in an edition of 100
hand-numbered CD-rs. Published by the musician
himself it shed first light on things to come.
‘Waste Land’ is the rare prequel to the acclaimed
and successful 2008-album ‘Sang Graal’ (with Dawn
& Dusk Entwined) and is itself inspired by T. S.
Eliot’s enigmatic grail-poem ‘The Waste Land’
which works as a key metaphor for a spiritually
dying world.
On “Waste Land” sinister and pessimistic
soundscapes unfold and spread fragmented allusions
and remarks on spiritual death and cultural clash.
The symbolic name of :Golgatha: - which is the
execution hill in Jerusalem where Jesus had been
crucified - was never more fitting than in this
early apocalyptic soundtrack for an Inner Cinema,
carried by ritual drums, dark drones, mysterious
sounds and sacred voices.
For this re-release the original sound was totally
re-mastered and appears more powerful than ever
before. The original artwork is added by bleak
photos from the same era to complete the image.
This CD contains two original versions of tracks
later remixed by Dawn & Dusk Entwined for ‘Sang
Graal’. Bonus tracks: two combined tracks from ‘In
the Crystal Cage’-compilation (2004) and ‘Shred
your skin’ from the SAW II-soundtrack by Charlie
Clouser (Trisol).
‘Waste Land’ is a terrifying soundtrack for the
Kali Yuga, the darkest of ages.
Comes in a 6-panel digipak.
