Goatlord Corp. - 2003 - Early Beginnings of War

The first release by French Black Metal legion Goatlord Corp. is indeed a work of high quality. Four tracks of mid-paced to fast Black Metal with a groove not too common in this kind of music. Musically this has some Thrash and Metal influences, while still sounding very much french Black Metal. They have that special sound you get from those parts. Reminds me a bit of Antaeus, but with a fuller sound, similar to their De Principii Evangelicum album. Some Dark Funeral also finds its way into their music.

The soundquality is clear, and the music has been given a dark and murky atmosphere. The vocals are somewhat reminiscent of those of Dark Funeral and Von, sounding very aggressive, almost as if the vocalist were possessed. Absolutely a band to keep your eyes on.

Standout tracks are "Tormentor 666" and "In the Name of the Black Lord". Limited to 999 copies. Don't miss out! A new album is in the works.
