Like the Cicadas of the previous Summer, the troupe of romping rock deviants, Godcaster, has reemerged from beneath the dirt to fill the atmosphere with unbridled cacophony. Saltergasp is a brief reintroduction to the shining sextet of David Mcfaul (keys), Von Kolk (flute, vox), Bruce Ebersole (guitar, bass), Sam Pickard (drums), Judson Kolk (vox, guitar), and their newest member, Jan Fontana (bass). It also acts as an unflinching demonstration of an ensemble doing away with frivolity—Godcaster is coming straight for your still-beating heart. From start to finish, Saltergasp shines an otherworldly light on Godcaster’s Dionysian guitar frenzies. In just under ten minutes, the band reestablishes themselves as the leaders of an unstoppable sonic movement and begins to pen the next chapter in their dichotomous musical tale of shimmer and rot. Formidable and magnificent, Godcaster remains the masters of ferocity in our world and any other.

“Godcaster are an exhilarating band. They’re punk as fuck and their music will transport you completely out of your skull.” - Garage Magazine
“Godcaster doesn’t enter a world of simulation. They are as real as their sound: primal, present, and locked in a narrative that’s unique.” - ALT Citizen
