Tales From the Riff Podcast

Episode 10 Golgothan

It is now 2022. A new year, a new episode, and a new batch of gnarly. In this episode, we sit down with Jai Benoit and Jerik Thibodeaux of Golgothan. Golgothan was established in 2011 and the band continues to churn out BRRRRUTAL death metal with a dose of cajun seasoning and some B movie horror influences. From their earliest E.P. Gutwrench, to their upcoming release on Lacerated Enemy Records, Golgothan is not for the faint of heart. If you're a fan of Cattle Decapitation, Bloodbath, or Aborted, then check out this latest podcast with Lafayette's own Golgothan. 

Thank you for tuning in and STAY GNARLY

In this episode, we welcome one Danny Solet Jr. Yes, you read that right another Solet in the house! In fact, my esteemed cousin Danny is a guitarist for the nu-metal core act HourHouse. Danny and the HourHouse gang are straight out of the studio and ready to hit the road running. Until then, sit back and hear the soothing sounds of not one, but two Solet voices talking a bit of new school meets old school metal.
