Goatkraft
- Sulphurous Northern Bestiality
Norway
Iron
Bonehead Productions
Goatkraft
is a band from Norway specializing in the art of fast-paced, bestial
black/death (aka war metal). "Sulphurous Northern Bestiality"
is their debut full-length and follow-up to 2018's "Angel
Slaughter" EP. While Goatkraft's music may not be the most
ground-breaking, the result is quite satisfying and auspicious, with
a malicious edge similar to bands like Black Witchery, Truppenstorm,
etc. The most interesting thing about Goatkraft is the fact that they
hail from Norway, which is in fact the last place you'd expect to
hear metal like this, but I guess this owes much to the growing
popularity of the style. The atmosphere that permeates this album is
filthy and cavernous, with a production job that is no less than apt
for this style. Every song blusters ahead at militant pace, laced
with hateful barks and hypnotic riffs drenched in filth. If you enjoy
the sonic hatred spewed forth by the aforementioned bands, then this
is definitely for you. (HT)
