Lately the Hardcore band GOLDUST released a download compilation titled Soir. You can stream and download the whole thing for free further down. Here’s what the band has to say about it:
After the release of our second album “Destroyer|Borderlines” we wanted to release a 7″ EP again. Somewhere around this time Dave Heck of Get This Right Records asked us if we’d be interested in doing a split with the mighty FULL OF HELL, just in time for their first European tour. Of course we were. After we had written enough songs, two bands we’re friends with, CURBBITE from Bremen and JUGGERNAUT from Vienna, asked us as well if we’d like to do split 7“s with them. And shortly after that, LIGHTBEARER, a short-lived project from Essen asked us, too. So it happened we spent 2011 writing and recording songs for four split 7“s. The split with LIGHTBEARER actually never happened, because we totally lost contact with the band and I think they’re not active anymore. But that gave us the chance to put those two songs on the split 7″ with our friends in DEATHRITE.
Besides the digital compilation there’s also a very limited cassette tape, which was released late 2011 via Family Business Records.
Of course, “Soir” shouldn’t be considered as a conceptualized record like a proper full length album. It’s really a compilation of songs from different releases. One should really keep that in mind while listening to “Soir”.

Read what the band has to say about each song:
Entrails
I don’t remember anything about this song, obviously it’s more an intro kind of thing, a bit melodic. I really wonder why we haven’t played it as intro at shows lately.
Parasitic Dysfunction
A wicked song. The weird riff during the blast-beat passage still kills me.
Ruine
We packed so many things into that song, like, a guitar played with a hairdryer (…). Or Children of the Grave‘ish drum overdubs. Or a really, really slow finalé. One of my favourites to play live.
L(i)ars
Oh Black Sabbath again. Probably my fault. Maybe it’s a little bit “Nightmare on Elmstreet”, too. Quite an unusual song for GOLDUST, because of the intro and that there’s no fast part in it. But I totally dig the athmosphere it creates.
Chimes & Rhymes
Our bass player is the biggest Baroness fan I know. You can totally hear that in this riff. You can hear as well that we ran out of time for turning this into a “real” song. So it became sort of an interlude. A good one though.
Blue Smoke
Mosh, groove, blast-beats, chanting, noisy ending. It’s all there and all good.
World Gaeze
Insane ending – I think we used a violin bow to gain some extra noise.
Gray Haze/Twilight Years
I totally dig the percussions at the beginning. A brutally fast song, sick „solo“ in the middle, Slayer’ish, groovy ending. There’s nothing wrong with that!
