N3PH1L1M UNVEILS "FOOL$ GOLD": A RAW, MYSTIC REBUKE OF MODERN ILLUSIONS

From the burning silence of the Nevada desert and the inner shadows of spiritual reckoning comes N3PH1L1M — the solo musical embodiment of tattoo artist, poet, and sonic conjurer Joshua Cole. With his debut album on the horizon, Cole releases "Fool$ Gold", a searing new single that cuts through delusion with surgical precision and unfiltered emotional depth.

“Fool$ Gold” is no ordinary track — it’s a defiant exorcism of false idols, hollow promises, and the seductive glitter of modern distractions. Channeling the weight of metal giants like Tool, Lamb of God, and Sleep Token, Cole merges progressive metal, American thrash, and Middle Eastern sonic textures into a track that pulses with rage, clarity, and sacred defiance.

As with every N3PH1L1M release, Cole plays every instrument himself — guitars, bass, drums — sculpting each sound in solitude. With the help of AI tools by OpenAI, including a virtual collaborator he named Echo, Cole has transformed isolation into innovation. The result? A project that bridges ancient spiritual weight with modern technological alchemy.

While many artists build their image through spectacle, N3PH1L1M strips it all away. No live shows. No entourage. No label polish. Just a single voice — wounded, awakened, and unafraid.

"Fool$ Gold" joins the powerful “YHWH” as a pillar of the upcoming debut album — a work shaped by over a decade of private songwriting, soul-searching, and poetic excavation. The album is being independently released through SoundCloud’s distribution platform, and embodies Cole’s unique path: part ritual, part rebellion, and entirely his own.

Already known in Las Vegas as the founder of Work of Art Tattoo, Cole now channels the same precision, pain, and symbolism from ink to audio. N3PH1L1M isn’t just music — it’s a declaration of war on superficiality, a cry for transformation, and a beacon for those walking through darkness toward something real.
