End Of Green

The world has always been a terrible place – unfortunately, it is the only one we have. With everything currently feeling even more dreadful, it comes as no surprise that END OF GREEN return with corresponding weight and depth on ASHES & GOLD. Nine years have passed since VOID ESTATE (2017). END OF GREEN were never truly gone, but they have never believed in keeping things going just for the sake of it. If there is nothing worth saying, they remain silent. Now MICHELLE DARKNESS, KERKER, HOUND E., SUFFERMAN and SAD SIR finally have something to get off their chests again. ASHES & GOLD is dark, dramatic and rooted firmly in a brutally real world. No glitter, no glamour, no glossy veneer. This is asphalt. These are scraped knees. Get up and keep going. On their tenth album since 1996, darkness, death and despair still loom large. But this time, END OF GREEN meet them with defiance and self-empowerment. Giving up is not an option. Musically, the band sounds more versatile than ever: abrasive on ANGRY SON OF AN ANGRY OLD MAN, snotty on SLUGLICKER, merciless in THE DARK VALLEY, darkly romantic on ISOLDE and unhinged in WASTED TIME. Metal, goth, doom or post-punk – their game, their rules. At the center remains MICHELLE DARKNESS, pouring his soul into every note while also delivering the album’s powerful production. ASHES & GOLD – what a record. END OF GREEN – what a band.
