It is highly appreciated by critics and fans alike. Their diverse musical palette transcends the rock genre and exists in a world of its own. The band has ten studio albums, music for several films and countless critics' awards. During their career, they headlined world festivals such as London's Meltdown or Strawberry Festival in China. In the words of the British Musical Magazine NME: "this is the music of the Gods".
GGGOLDDD (NL)
The Dutch GGGOLDDD are often labeled as electropop, but their music reflects the darker side of the human soul. They are not afraid of experiments and their music does not deny its roots in art rock and avant-garde groups. During their career, GGGOLDD (formerly GOLD) managed to tour with bands such as Converge and New Model Army and performed at internationally recognized festivals such as Hellfest and Roadburn.
