Raskolnikov is a Swiss-Spanish-French post-punk and alternative rock band formed in 2015. Their music blends melancholic and hypnotic elements with energetic post-punk influences, drawing inspiration from bands like Joy Division and Killing Joke. The band’s name references Rodion Raskolnikov, the protagonist of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel “Crime and Punishment”.

Here’s what the band says about the unusual album title: “”Gorgon’Zola” is the title of the album, a play on words including gorgons, furies of the underworld, terrorising mortals and heralding the end of times, war and disease, as well as the name of the French writer and political journalist Émile Zola, famous for his literary work describing French society under the Second Empire and the title of his article on the Dreyfus affair, “J’accuse!””

Gold and black vinyl.
