Regurgitated into existence in the 666th year of the goat, this Finnish horde strikes back with a rampaging beast spawned from the rotten womb of early Nordic Death Metal.

Regurgitated into existence in the 666th year of the goat (2015 in human years) to spread the lost ancient art of Death Metal, Hyvinkää, Uusimaa, Finland-based horde Deathgoat is back in action four years after their debut Regurgitated Into Existence with their sophomore offering, entitled Dragged Into Realms Below. Adorned in the masterful artwork of Bram Bruyneel (Officium Triste, Hideous Divinity), the new opus by vocalist Putrid Worm, guitarists Vicar Miggoat and Nihilist, bassist L.F. Molestor, and drummer Chope666 is a rampaging beast spawned from the rotten womb of early Nordic death, being highly recommended for fans of the putrid sounds blasted by Dismember, Entombed, Vomitory, and Chaos Breed, just to name a few.

Like a demonic entity arising from the pits of hell, the quintet delivers a Doom Metal-inspired intro in Alkulima, a beyond devilish, sluggish and grim warmup for Pestilent Retribution, a no shenanigans, infernal slab of Death Metal made in Finland where Putrid Worm lives up to his own moniker through his vile, gory guttural. Vicar Miggoat and Nihilist continue to extract pure evil from their stringed axes in Congregation of Disease, inviting us all to dive into the mosh pit manically, followed by Dying to Be Dead, and a name like that deserved the most destructive form of Death Metal imaginable, which is what Deathgoat offer us all from start to finish, with Chope666 blasting his drums in the name of violence and hatred.

Compulsive Cannibalism is another song displaying a charming and peaceful name, with Putrid Worm once again leading his demonic crew with his deep, rabid vociferations, whereas Monoxcide sounds even more demented and ruthless than its predecessors, with Chope666 stealing the spotlight with an infernal performance behind his drums. Then it’s total anarchy and destruction in Flashback Psychosis, one of the fastest and heaviest of all songs, with the Death Metal riff attack by Vicar Miggoat and Nihilist sounding and feeling absolutely brutal. The metallic, evil bass by L.F. Molestor will smash your cranial skull in Clinically Undead before his bandmates come ripping in another demolishing exhibit of death and violence, whereas lastly let’s raise our horns one final time with Deathgoat to the title-track Dragged into Realms Below, bringing forward an avalanche of evil riffs and demented blast beats.

When the out of control hearse by Deathgoat comes careering out of the night this summer, be prepared for total annihilation, proving why the band is fast becoming a byword for brilliance when it comes to supreme old school Death Metal. Hence, if you want to become part of their more-than-special horde of headbanging bastards, you can start following the band on Facebook and on Instagram, stream their wicked music on Spotify, and of course purchase a copy of Dragged Into Realms Below from the Xtreem Music’s BandCamp. Deathgoat do not carry their name in vain, as those Finnish death metallers are always ready to crush our damned skulls with their infuriated blend of Death Metal just like what they have to offer in their incendiary new album, and of course, always in the name of the goat.
