Goldenpyre was created in Barroselas, Portugal in 1997. Their first demo, Apocryphal, was released in 1998 and the second one, Necroterrorism, in 2001. Their first EP, Decrepidemic, was recorded in 2003, followed by the split CD Atrocities in 2005.
In between the releases, Goldenpyre played about 100 shows and tours all around Europe with Suffocation, Behemoth, Nile, Destroyer 666, and various other bands. Their debut album was planned for 2009, but just few months after the recordings, new vocalist Jarder died and the band entered into a big hiatus.
When the time was right, the songs started to take shape in the studio and the release was re-planned for 2017 at the 20th edition of SWR BARROSELAS METALFEST. Six of the best labels in Portugal joined their hands and prepared one of the most anticipated releases in a long time: mysteriously lumbering, suffocatingly dense death metal of total DREAD. This is Goldenpyre’s In Eminent Disgrace.
