Biography

ARCHGOAT crawled from the deepest pits of hell to form in 1989, a demonic trio consisting of the brothers Ritual Butcherer and Lord Angelslayer on guitars and vocals/bass respectively, as well as Blood Desecrator on drums. After a pair of demo tapes, ARCHGOAT shook the black metal world in 1993 with the release of their debut EP “Angelcunt (Tales of Desecration)”, showcasing a relentless and bestial blend of black and death metal. With a growing dissolution with the black metal scene at large, ARCHGOAT vanished from scene in late 1993. In 2004 the gates reopened anew. ARCHGOAT returned to finally release their long-lost material the following year, and then their first official full-length, “Whore of Bethlehem”, in 2006. Since then they have released two more albums, “The Light-Devouring Darkness” in 2009 and “The Apocalyptic Triumphator” in 2015 under Debemur Morti Productions. 2018 saw ARCHGOAT unleash their satanic opus “The Luciferian Crown”, their second full length under Debemur Morti. Black metal changed, ARCHGOAT did not. In 2020, the live album "Black Mass XXX" adequately captured the angelslaying chaos present during their gig in Paris in September 2019. With "Worship The Eternal Darkness", ARCHGOAT cement their well-earned reputation for being one of the most consistent bands the scene has ever seen. In April 2022, a companion piece to the latest album and a natural successor to the band's first EP, "Angelcunt", will be unleashed.
