Artist: GOATWHORE
Album: CARVING OUT THE EYES OF GOD (CD)

Release date: 2009
Media type: CD

Whenever a new American band has made its way across the big pond during the last two to three years, it was usually a modern variation of (melodic) death metal with a big core influence. GOATWHORE, the band comprised by (ex-)members of CROWBAR, ACID BATH and SOILENT GREEN, manage to successfully go against the grain and fight this trend.

Their last album, “A Haunting Curse”, released by Metal Blade in 2006 to great acclaim, was already a gripping and mean amalgam of spikes, black metal and velocity one doesn't usually get to hear.

Its successor, the fourth album in the band's discography, takes this tendency even further in terms of pure brutality and will immediately be the talk of the whole extreme metal scene.

To this day, the band has enjoyed cult status only in America. In 2009, Europe will be taken over effortlessly! While the band unleashed a veritable storm when supporting Immolation on European stages in 2007, after 24 months it has turned into an almighty tornado, one that will captivate all fans of mercilessly brutal music.

GOATWHORE – remember this name! It will be the last thing you will be able to remember after listening to this album, just before your neck braks with a loud snap!
