ABOUT

GLDN is a Brooklyn-based industrial rock band founded by Nicholas Golden in 2017. The band is known for blending elements of industrial, metal, and crust punk with passionate, sometimes rage-filled vocals.

Golden initially developed the music alone, writing the songs on his own and even playing most of the instruments himself; however, feeling that the live sound was missing something, he decided to put together a band to bring the music to the stage.

GLDN's sound is heavily influenced by bands like Nine Inch Nails, Korn, Evanescence, and Deftones. The band has also been vocal about the inspiration they derive from films like Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria and Jonathan Glazer’s Under The Skin.
