Biography

--- "We are timeless... within damnation" With its 2000 Rotten Records debut, The Eclipse of the Ages Into Black, Lousiana miscreants Goatwhore explored old school satanic black metal as no American act had before. The band's flamethrowing ferocity and blasphemous conviction hailed such pioneers as Bathory and Venom and offered respite to purists grown weary of the fanciful, over-orchestrated musings of Europe's contemporary black metallurgists.

Goatwhore's second effort, Funeral Dirge for the Rotting Sun, ventrures into darker, less conventional territory. Probing the pitch-black recesses of mind and soul in a disturbing, introspective examination of dark forces at work, and unlieashing it all with a feral hookiness and atmospheric flare, the band steps beyond the bounds of mere black metal into a realm all its own.

"One thing we didn't want to do is write the first album over again. We wanted to do something different this time, " says founding guitarist Sammy Duct. "I think we have made a very experimental step in our future," adds frontman Lous B. (Ben) Falgoust II. ---

--- "As we have said before, this is not a 'side project' as so many people like to call it." ---

I know that the guitarist for Goatwhore was the guitarist for Acid Bath as well. The lead man for Goatwhore is also the lead man for Soilent Green. How can a band with that much going for it not be the most amazing band you've ever heard? I thought they were amazing the first time I heard them and since they've grown on me... I think they're the greatest band on Earth!! You've got to go see one of their concerts! If you think you're evil now, wait until you've had the experience of seeing satan's children up close and personal!! I love
Goatwhore!!!!!
