Dominik Dworak ‘24 plays his guitar near a fog machine at Seventh Circle Oct. 20. The name, Crypts of Golgotha, was created by their drummer, which they all agreed would be a good name for the band. “Our singer and guitarist’s name is Gabe, and I’ve known him since March of 2022. The drummer is his brother, Joaquin, and I’ve known him since last summer,” Dworak said.

Learning to play an instrument can be an exciting experience for someone, especially if that person has a huge passion for music.

Dominik Dworak ‘24, a guitarist for death metal band Crypts of Golgotha, has played guitar since he was in grade six. He’s a man with experience with gigs and a passion for playing the guitar.

“I think we have around 10 or 11 songs, and I think they’re all good,” Dworak said. “I just really enjoy music and making music, and I wanted to share this interest with people who have similar music tastes.”

Crypts of Golgotha has done many gigs, such as at Seventh Circle Music Collective and 97, both of which are venue locations for small bands to host shows.

“We’ve never really done any sort of competitions, as most of the time we just play live, like normal shows,” Dworak said. “My favorite place to perform is Seventh Circle Music Collective, in Denver.”

One of Dworak’s major responsibilities in the band is writing songs with his bandmates. Currently, they’re working on two demos.

“I can also play drums, but not too well,” Dworak said.

Dworak has played guitar since he was in grade six, and has since improved in music and gigs. “I think sometimes our live performances could get a little better, you know, but I know we’re getting better,” Dworak said.

Dworak and his bandmates want to keep growing the band, as long as nothing else gets in the way.

“I want to play as long as I can since I don’t have anything else going on, so just as long as it works out,” Dworak said.

Crypts of Golgotha is always making new songs and can be found on streaming platforms such as Spotify.

“Don’t do anything just because someone wants you to do it. Like, if you’re gonna do something, do it because you want to and stay true to who you want to be,” Dworak said.

Their next show will be at Seventh Circle Music Collective from 7 p.m. to 11:45 p.m. Dec. 30
