ARTIST: Goatwhore
TITLE: Funeral Dirge For The Rotting Sun
STYLE: Black Metal
FORMAT: CD
LABEL: Rotten Records
The second release from GOATWHRE "Funeral Dirge for the Rotting Sun", ventures into dark, un-conventional territory. Probing the pitch-black recesses of mind and soul in a disturbing, introspective examination of dark forces at work, and unleashing it all with a feral hooks and atmospheric flare, stepping beyond the bounds of mere black metal into a realm all its own. GOATWHORE is truly a band to be reckoned with and their very unique mix of death, black, and sludge makes for a great listen. Three years after their impressive debut and returning with twelve more odious anthems that surpass their previous output offering an excellent moment in the progression of the band. Yes, the influence of CELTIC FROST, VENOM, and BATHORY are all there in full force, but there is something distinctly different about their sound. GOATWHORE have carved an original sound that is haunting, grim, and atmospheric.
