Archgoat are back with their sixth full-length album in an almost four-decade-long career. The Finnish black metal band are set to release Nightbringer, Lightbringer via Debemur Morti Productions on 11 September, on CD, vinyl, and digital formats.
It is described as:
"Now in their 37th year of blasphemous brutality, Finnish Black Metal
iconoclasts ARCHGOAT remain one of the most single-minded and
relentlessly visceral bands in extreme music.
New album "Nightbringer, Lightbringer" once again taps into the guts of
ancient evil to unearth a noxious stench of horror. Undiminished and
eternal, the band's patented synthesis of mystical first wave
Black/Death Metal, Punk hostility, primal Thrash and bestial Grindcore
is destructive as ever in its magickal raw power.
This time around a slightly less-dank production ensures each putrid
note is assimilated and felt. Mind-altering atmospherics and cryptic
synth embellishments remain a feature, with some grandly melodic leads
and – gasp – lower gain arpeggios in place for fleeting relief before
the returning waves of pummelling satanic violence."
The band had already released the album's title track as a single and recently released “The Dawn to Armageddon”, which you can listen to below.
