Pre-orders of the album from the Peaceville store or band store will come with a free 10-track sampler.
Main-man Mirai Kawashima notes this as being as equally personal an album as Shiki, both musically and lyrically. From a musical perspective, if you were to place the main ingredients of Celtic Frost, Voivod, Black Sabbath, horror movies and Japan into a cauldron and stir it, you will get Goh-Ka. Numerous additional spices such as psychedelic rock, prog rock and classical music are also evident over the album's close to one-hour duration.
Joining Mirai Kawashima and Dr. Mikannibal along with guitarist Nozomu Wakai, are Frédéric Leclercq (Kreator) on bass, plus renowned US drummer Mike Heller. Among the additional contributors to the album, Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth notably delivers a special guest guitar solo on the track, "Unputenpu". Goh-Ka was recorded across multiple studios, and once again mixed and mastered by Lasse Lammert at LSD studios in Germany.
