Golgata started as a project by the two founders in the early year of 2014. The idea was to create harsh but atmospheric music. Both founders were born and raised in the southern part of Sweden; its landscape and history soon became an important part of Golgata's music.

As soon as the first song took form, the band started to become more than a project. Shortly after the recording of the self-released Industrial Thoughts in 2015, the founder decided to make Golgata more than just a project, and the band was formed. After three self-releases, Golgata signed to Sathanas Records and released the full-length album Skam in 2019. The rest of the band's history is not yet written.

The philosophy behind the band is that the music stands for itself and should be greater than the creators behind it. Golgata should be considered as a living thing that uses the members as its tools. This is how Golgata is presented by themselves in different media.

"Who we are is not relevant. But what we are is. What are we? We are the sound of our origin!"
