Goatwhore - CARVING OUT THE EYES OF GOD


The dark and evil quartet known as Goatwhore have just released their latest CD entitled “CARVING OUT THE EYES OF GOD”. Another step in evolution of their signature Louisiana Black Metal style, Goatwhore’s new album is heavier and even more blasphemous than the rusted carving blade they used to render their rival sightless.

“CARVING OUT THE EYES OF GOD” is Goatwhore’s 4th full length release, and their much anticipated follow up to their highly successful 2006 Metal Blade release, “A HAUNTING CURSE”. This CD marks the band’s 2nd collaboration with the engineering wizard Erik Rutan, from the infamous Manna Studios in Florida. The crystal clear production achieved allows us to hear those little intricate details like Zack Simmons drumming thundering triplet patterns and blistering blast beats that cut through the wall of rhythms laid down by Sammy Duet (guitar) and Nathan Bergeron (bass). Ben Falgoust’s wicked words snarl with diabolic fury, as his vocal patterns are delivered with a veteran’s precision and clarity. The overall effect is a CD that feels like a tribute to the Black Metal forefathers Celtic Frost, Venom, and Slayer, yet sounds completely new and unlike anything else released in 2009. Highly recommended for fans of the aforementioned bands, and to all ye malicious Metal Heads who thrive on metaphysical music.
