Operating out of Longview, Texas, GosT is the project of James Cody Lollar, who launched the darksynth persona in January 2013 under the pseudonym Baalberith.

Albums including Possessor (2018), Valediction (2019), and Rites of Love and Reverence (2021) on Century Media and Metal Blade Records deepened his integration of metal into the electronic framework.
Gosudar is a death metal band from Moscow, Russia, active since 2018 and delivering crushing death metal from the Russian capital. The project's name, meaning "sovereign" in Russian, reflects its authoritative approach to the genre.
