July 7, 2021 – Gost has released a third song from his forthcoming album, Rites of Love and Reverence (Aug. 13, Century Media), sharing the video for “Bound By The Horror” this morning (https://youtu.be/SauDzMPIzC0) Gost comments: “’Bound by the Horror’ started the writing process for Rites of Love and Reverence. I wanted a heavy baseline to really start things off for this record and ‘Bound by the Horror’ is the result. ‘Bound by the Horror’ refers to how I started feeling boxed in creatively. One of my favorites from the new album and a kind of goodbye to limiting expectations.” | ||

Rites of Love and Reverence is available in the following formats: * Gatefold black LP+CD * Gatefold neon yellow LP+CD (200) only available at centurymedia.store * Gatefold transparent orange LP+CD (300) available at CM Distro Wholesale EU * Digital Album Rites of Love and Reverence is both an album of beautifully crafted songs and a fascinating and intuitively gothic journey, rich with thoughts of supernatural wickedness and real world retribution. “The lyrics were inspired by witchcraft themes,” says the man himself. “It’s mainly about how witchcraft has affected women throughout history. Witch trials and the subsequent executions throughout the ages terrify me. I fear, as a society, we are always on the verge of such horrible psychosis based on the misunderstanding and intolerance of one another. I try to educate myself on any historical subject I use as an influence, out of respect for the real people who actually lived through it.” In keeping with its dark theme, the album arrives adorned with the most stunning image Gost has used to date, created by celebrated doyen of macabre art, Nona Limmen. Both eerily psychedelic and hazily mysterious, it’s the perfect visual representation of this extraordinary record’s grim but vivid depths. Rites of Love and Reverence renders Gost’s post-synthwave exploits in kaleidoscopic technicolor, delivering all the glass-shattering grit, incisive melodic melancholy and tripped-out, electronic fervor that his ever-expanding army of admirers demand. | ||
