With sprawling compositions, titan-heavy riffs drenched in fuzz and haunting atmospherics, Goya fit right between genre pioneers Electric Wizard, Sleep and Acid King, while adding an undeniable grit and charisma to their own recipe. They doesn’t just play doom music: they embody it to the core. Unrelenting and immersive, their fourth studio album »In The Dawn Of November« is raucous, hypnotic and defiantly punishing. Recorded by Jack Endino (High On Fire, Year Of The Cobra, Soundgarden), this new sonic onslaught from the desert trio takes no prisoners while sweeping everything on its mighty path.
Frontman Jeffrey Owens reflects: “The eight years since the last Goya record have brought me face to face with some hard truths about life. I’m getting older, and mortality has struck me in new ways, so this album is largely a meditation on death. »In The Dawn Of November« is the natural evolution of the band, and the culmination of everything that came before it, simultaneously signifying a new era for Goya.”

Formed in 2011 by guitarist and vocalist Jeffrey Owens, Goya’s 2012 demo showcased their early potential, but it was their debut full-length »777« (2013) that announced their fearsome arrival in the doom underground. With sprawling, riff-heavy compositions and occult-tinged lyrics, »777« resonated deeply with fans of titanic sludge-metal. Continuing to evolve, Goya released »Obelisk« in 2015, a concept album that refined their blend of psychedelic doom. They followed this with their magnum opus, 2017’s »Harvester Of Bongloads«, another concept album that leaned as heavily as ever into their fuzz-laden, riff-driven aesthetic and further cemented their legacy of unrelenting doom and immersive sonic landscapes.
In the summer of 2024, Goya returned to the road for a month-long US tour after taking a few years to write their fourth album, »In The Dawn Of November«, to be released in the spring of 2025 via New Mexico-based label Blues Funeral Recordings (Acid King, Lowrider, Dozer). Goya entered Soundhouse Studios in Seattle in the fall with legendary producer Jack Endino (High On Fire, Year Of The Cobra, Soundgarden) to lay down a monolithic work of graveyard grooves and bleak reflections to herald their towering return with their most accomplished and unwaveringly bone-crushing record to date – leading the trio to ink a deal with revered Albuquerque-based label Blues Funeral Recordings.
