GOLDEN CORE – new album out
- Posted on 02-02-2024
Golden Core’s third album “Kosmos brenner” is released today
“Kosmos Brenner” is a concept album based on the Norse worldview, where life in all its fragility arises in the eternal balance of opposites, between fire and ice, light and darkness, cold and heat, as a product of chaos and chance. Life and world order can only exist and be maintained in the balance between these enormous forces of chaos, constantly fighting each other and constantly threatening our existence. The struggle is eternal and represents the past, present and future.
In the great abyss, Ginnungagap, the lifeless primordial Yme floats and gives birth to jotunn offspring. This threatens the balance and the gods therefore kill Yme, and from his body the world and the cosmos as we know it are created.
“Kosmos brenner” is available on LP, CD and all digital platforms today.
Golden Core is a Norwegian-Icelandic metal duo based in Oslo, Norway. They play a mix between different genres, all though doom, prog, black and stoner metal are their main influences. Golden Core has been compared to bands like Neuroses, Kyuss, Mastodon and Mayhem.
The two young metal rockers started playing together in 2014 and have since played numerous concerts and festivals in Norway, Denmark and Iceland. Golden Core have played as supporting acts for Bongzilla (US) and Napalm Death (UK).
