Gold (Whores album)

Gold is the debut studio album by the American noise rock band Whores. It was released on October 28, 2016, through eOne Music. The album marks Whores' first full-length release after several EPs.

Gold received generally positive reviews, with critics praising its aggressive sound, heavy instrumentation, and overall intensity. Many reviewers noted the influence of bands like The Jesus Lizard and Unsane. The album is characterized by its dense layers of distorted guitars, pummeling drums, and frontman Christian Lembach's abrasive vocals.

The album's lyrical themes touch upon topics such as urban decay, personal struggles, and societal anxieties, often presented with a cynical and confrontational edge.

Some of the standout tracks on Gold include "Mental Illness as Methane," "Ghost Pictures," and "Baby Teeth." The album has helped solidify Whores' reputation as a prominent force in the contemporary noise rock scene.
