Goat Frost

Here we go with a nice little band called Goatwhore. Described as black metal, which I agree to, they have quite a good platter out on Metal Blade Records right now called A Haunting Curse. I do have to say first off that describing a band as black metal conjures up images of terrible production, limited pressings and corpse paint. Not here folks, this is one great sounding, high quality, straight up black/death metal. Wonderful drumming (which you can hear all of them, not just the high-hat and snare), excellent vocals, and guitar riffs that are good!!! I suggest you pick this up, really, or even better pick it up and support the band by seeing them in concert or buying a shirt. Goatwhore has members of Soilent Green in the ranks, who have has their fair share of disasters that would make any person just give up on life. After listening to all forms of black and death metal for over 20 years, this comes across as the perfect mix of classic death metal with a mix of the "newer" sounds of death metal. I am not going to give everything away, take a listen for yourself here
If you would like to see them in all their glory, then check them out over here

Why did I call this post Goat Frost? The first 5 seconds of Alchemy of the Black Sun Cult will explain it.
