Goatblood - Blooddawn/Annihilation Of This World (CD)

Release Date: 06/03/22

Oldschool Death/Black from Germany! Brandnew two studio demos on Double CD!

For over ten years, Goatblood have established themselves as one of the most bestial and raw Blackened Death Metal acts in the international scene. Hailing from Germany, this duo has been spreading their message of hate, war against abrahamic religion and uncompromising primal violence in a way that is nothing short of a musical Blitzkrieg: pounding hammers accompany blunt and catchy guitar riffs, while demonic growls proclaim ultimate scorn towards the weak. While other bands seek to market themselves with girlish aesthetics and pseudo-intellectualism, Goatblood stay true to the traditional black art of Death and War Metal as known from acts like Blasphemy or Incantation.

To commemorate this truly unholy decade of sonic terror, Dunkelheit Produktionen is proud to present 'Blooddawn / Annihilation of this World'. This massive double CD set is comprised of two studio demos that once again showcase the strengths of this horde. After three highly acclaimed studio albums, this somewhat atavistic approach seems like the only logical step. Back to the roots of guerilla blackened Death Metal, unpolished raw energy and even less artificial sugarcoating than ever before - only death and hate.

'Blooddawn / Annihilation of this World' should be enough to convince even the last critic that Goatblood pull no punches. 'Blooddawn' kicks this set off, immediately setting a tone of absolute hatred with compositions reminiscent of hymns of destruction, which are still reliant on a certain feeling of groove and semi-melodic virtues that make the 26 minutes pass extremely fast. Despite 'Bloodawn''s brutal aspects, 'Annihilation of this World' is where the more War Metal type chaos starts. Living up to its name, this part of the set reflects the daemonic magnificence of unhinged destruction. The drums are faster, as are the riffs and the all-round semi-dissonance created with wild solos evokes the feeling of goat-headed soldiers directing their flamethrowers towards this rotten world.
