KÓLGA: Metal Injection Premieres “Riptide” From Blackened Surf Rock Collective Featuring Current/Former Members Of Dead To A Dying World, Sabbath Assembly, Wrekmeister Harmonies, And More

Metal Injection is currently streaming “Riptide,” the latest single from blackened surf rock/nautical horror collective, KÓLGA. The track comes off the band’s Black Tides full-length, set for release on March 29th via Otitis Media Records.

Harken and remember! Aquatic thunder and reverberations of a droning, eldritch phosphorescence beguile the senses. Staccato strings accentuate rhythmic inundations that harken back to a primal rock and roll essence. Imbued throughout with a darkly absurdist wit and elements of black metal, behold KÓLGA!

Formed in 2018 by the sentient mutated husks of subgenii members of Dead To A Dying World, Spazm 151, Akkolyte, Cleric, Tyrannosorceress, Damage Case, Sabbath Assembly, Wrekmeister Harmonies, Unconscious Collective, and other innumerable projects of varying clandestine popularities, KÓLGA has forged from the immense cataclysmic pressures of the lower depths a new genre for all the world to witness and tremble: blackened surf rock.

Comments lead guitarist/vocalist Jason Mullins on the band’s “Riptide” single, “A vertiginous descent into the blackest depths. Pulled under by raging waters and dragged across beds of corral to perish in the blackest trenches below.”

Writes Metal Injection, “The warm weather is slowly but surely dawning on us… but you can still be grim while sporting a Hawaiian shirt, thanks to this new KÓLGA track.”
