Goatwhore is an American blackened death metal band formed in 1997 in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States.

Biography

Goatwhore was formed by guitarist/backing vocalist Sammy Duet, following the breakup of his previous band, Acid Bath. Soilent Green lead vocalist Louis Benjamin Falgoust II, guitarist Ben Stout, bassist Patrick Bruders, and drummer Zak Nolan completed the lineup, which debuted with the demo Serenades to the Tides of Blood; Goatwhore's official debut LP, The Eclipse of Ages into Black, followed in early 2000. Funeral Dirge for the Rotting Sun appeared in 2003 before the band jumped to Metal Blade for the fall release of 2006's A Haunting Curse.[1]

They performed at both Ozzfest 2008 and Ozzfest 2010.[2]

In 2009, Goatwhore released their fourth album, entitled Carving out the Eyes of God, and toured with Obituary, among others.

In January and February 2010, Goatwhore embarked on the 'Bound By The Road' Tour with DevilDriver, Suffocation, and Thy Will Be Done.

In 2010, the band was confirmed as being part of the soundtrack for Namco Bandai Games' 2010 remake of Splatterhouse.

In early 2012, the band released their fifth album, entitled Blood for the Master.

On March 10, 2014, the band completed recording their sixth album, titled Constricting Rage of the Merciless, which was released on July 8, 2014.[3]

On September 11, 2014, bassist James Harvey decided to sit out touring, due to the birth of his son, so Robert Coleman was hired to fill in for him on live shows.

Vengeful Ascension was released on June 23, 2017.

Lyrical themes

Goatwhore's themes change constantly, with satanism, witchcraft, anti-christianity, and the occult being prevalent in every album. Goatwhore has recently started talking about armageddon and the holocaust in their last two albums.[4]
