Album number seven is on its way from Goatwhore! Vengeful Ascension will see a June 23 release date and the discs title track can be streamed right now! <\/p>\n
Goatwhore have been one of extreme metals most reliable modern bands for well over a decade. Each album released by the NOLA quartet has brought forceful and blasphemous cuts in the style of blackened death metal, and if Vengeful Ascension is any indication of whats to come, you can expect another ripper from Goatwhore. <\/p>\n
Vengeful Ascension will be the first Goatwhore record released without Erik Rutan behind the soundboard since 2003s Funeral Dirge for the Rotting Sun. Working with Rutan was awesome, says Goatwhore frontmanBen Falgoust. We did some great records with him. But you come to a point where youre like, All right. Lets try something new. It was part of trying to remove ourselves from a comfort zone and a risk thing we needed to take. Plus, we really wanted to hit the essence of where we are live and what better way to harness that than by having our live sound guy involved. Jarrett [Pritchard] is knowledgeable with the studio stuff. He also knows how we sound coming out of a PA and we really wanted to get closer to that. <\/p>\n
As for the 10 tracks to be found within Vengeful Ascension, Falgoust explains, Each song is a representation of Goatwhore from day one until now. It really shows our evolution as a band. I dont think that this band has reached its peak yet. I mean, I think were closer now than ever but were still growing; were still evolving. <\/p>\n
Vengeful Ascension will explore the Luciferian concept of Satan as an emancipator and guiding light rather than the epitome of evil. Theres that whole idea of Lucifer being the anti-hero, elaborates Falgoust. Hes cast out from this place in Heaven to the depths of nothing. He keeps trying to ascend to the top again but no matter what, theres always this significant force trying to destroy him at any point and banish him back to Hell. If you look at it from an everyday aspect in life, its the idea of people, hitting the bottom of the barrel or you know, things just arent going right in life emotion plays a huge part in how people react. Whether its based on love or hatred or sadness or whatever, theres always an aspect of emotion that drives people to an extent. So the whole idea of a Vengeful Ascension is built on being at the bottom, working your way to the top, and realizing along the way that theres other facets to the journey aside from just pure retribution. Within negativity there can exist a positive angle as well. <\/p>\n
