EP REVIEW: Goat Semen – Fuck Christ

Peruvian bestial Black Death Metal cult GOAT SEMEN return from their southern abyss with a new EP! Set for release via Hells Headbangers on July 26th.

Barraging ferociously into life with no need for an introduction, the animalistic chaos hits with a tempest of savage riffing and blast beats, met by the unholy cacophony of vocals you should expect from this band. Having offered their “Demo 2003” over twenty years ago and remained an underground favourite since, there is no shadow of a doubt that they still have it. “It” being the underground spirit in abundance. Their chaotic maelstrom of blasphemous violence is bewildering and evil as ever. Hammering forth the most unrelenting storm of viciousness, their primitive ritual assault is utterly superb, showing no mercy with each malicious wave of fury. Pounding low end and rusted guitars contort into a singular tormenting apparition with the mayhem of the vocalist to insult every holy text and destroy all warriors of the light with their malignant musical malevolence.

One thing that sets Goat Semen apart from some of their bestial brothers is that I feel their production has always been consistently strong. Even on the demos, their sound was massive. From the punching low end and chaotic riffing to the presence of the vocals feeling truly demonic, everything is in balance to conjure the maximum amount of carnage. This new EP holds true to the rule, firing every ballistic blasphemy they have at us and maintaining a continual reign of supreme energy and desecration. Of course if you like clean, nice and friendly music; these guys will slay you where you stand! But underground rabid maniacs who seek only barbarity and iron-forged fury will be ecstatic to hear such bestial hymns of satanic might. Join the legion or be crushed by its mighty magnitude.

A magnificent return from one of the most cult acts of all time. Goat Semen show their underground mastery through a blasphemous and unrelenting new EP of top-class Black/Death Metal hellfire. Do not be a fall and miss this one, its bestial vengeance shall seek you out and destroy you…
