Arizona Doom Metal unit Goya are set to hit the Western tip of Europe with a short Summer tour that includes various festivals. The band will also join their labelmates Kal-El on their upcoming fall US tour to support their acclaimed new album “In the Dawn of November” released on Blues Funeral Recordings.
With sprawling compositions, titan-Heavy riffs drenched in fuzz and haunting atmospherics, Goya don’t just play doom music: they embody it to the core. Unrelenting and immersive, their fourth studio album and Blues Funeral Recordings debut “In the Dawn of November” is raucous, hypnotic and defiantly punishing. Recorded by Jack Endino (High On Fire, Soundgarden), this new sonic onslaught from the heavy desert trio takes no prisoners while sweeping everything in its path.

Formed in 2011 by guitarist and vocalist Jeffrey Owens, Goya‘s 2012 demo showcased their early potential, but it was their debut full-length “777” (2013) that announced their fearsome arrival in the Doom underground. With sprawling, riff-Heavy compositions and Occult-tinged lyrics, “777” resonated deeply with fans of titanic Sludge-Metal. Continuing to evolve, Goya released “Obelisk“in 2015, a concept album that refined their blend of Psychedelic Doom. They followed this with their magnum opus, 2017’s “Harvester of Bongloads,” another concept album that leaned as heavily as ever into their fuzz-laden, riff-driven aesthetic and further cemented their legacy of unrelenting doom and immersive sonic landscapes.
Their fourth album “In the Dawn of November” was released in the spring of 2025 via New Mexico-based label Blues Funeral Recordings (Acid King, Lowrider, Dozer). Recorded at Soundhouse Studios in Seattlewith legendary producer Jack Endino (High On Fire, Year of the Cobra, Soundgarden), “In the Dawn of November” lays down a monolithic work of graveyard grooves and bleak reflections to herald their towering return with their most accomplished and unwaveringly bone-crushing record to date.
